  • Publication number: 20100145242
    Abstract: A handheld massage device includes an actuator mechanism and a massage unit received in an outer housing. The actuator includes a motor, a bearing and a tilting piece having a first shaft coupled with the motor and a second shaft fitted into the bearing. The crank-shaped first and second shafts do not lie on a straight line. The massage unit has a base plate and massage elements mounted on the base plate. The massage elements protrude from one end of the outer housing. The bearing is fitted in the base plate. Because the first and second shafts form an angle therebetween, the base plate is tilted and swings like a conical pendulum. Therefore, the massage elements on the base plate move back and forth along a direction of an axle of the motor, thereby providing kneading and percussion massages on the user's body.

  • Publication number: 20100137762
    Abstract: A massage device includes an outer housing, a first transmission mechanism, a second transmission mechanism, a massage seat and at least one massage unit. The first transmission mechanism drives the massage seat to reciprocate moving in the outer housing. The massage unit includes a sway arm having a hole at a center thereof to receive a sway wheel. One of side surfaces of the sway wheel is slanted. The second transmission mechanism drives the sway wheel to rotate and the slanted side surface of the sway wheel presses against the sway arm, thereby driving the sway arm to sway. Massage members are disposed on a top of the sway arm. Through reciprocating movement of the massage seat, swaying of the sway arm and spinning of the massage members, the massage device provides reciprocating pressing and kneading massages on a user's body.

  • Publication number: 20100081973
    Abstract: A massage device includes an outer casing, a driving mechanism and at least one massage module. The massage module includes an inclined rotary plate coupled to a main gear seat having central massage balls. When the inclined rotary plate rotates, the main gear seat and the central massage ball are driven to rotate. The main gear seat engages with a plurality of planetary gears, each of which is coupled with a massage arm. An upper end of the massage arm has a peripheral massage ball disposed thereon and a lower end of the massage arm contacts with the inclined rotary plate. A rotation of the inclined rotary plate drives massage arms and the peripheral massage balls thereon to rotate via the planetary gear as well as to move the massage arms up and down, thereby providing a massage of kneading and acupressure.

  • Publication number: 20090306559
    Abstract: A massage assembly includes a top cover and a base which is connected to the top cover to define a space therebetween, a massage unit and a movable unit is received in the space. The massage unit is connected to the movable unit, and a transmission mechanism is received in the movable unit to drive the movable unit to move reciprocally in the massage assembly so as to massage the user's body by the massage unit. The massage unit provides different types of massage features.

  • Publication number: 20070290189
    Abstract: The invention discloses a light emitting device including a substrate, a first metal layer, and an infrared light emitter. The substrate has a first surface, and the first metal layer is formed on the first surface of the substrate. The infrared light emitter is formed on the first metal layer and includes a dielectric metal interface consisting of a dielectric layer and a second metal layer. The first metal layer of the invention is capable of suppressing the background thermal radiation resulted from the substrate, such that the light emitting device can be operated at high temperature and then emits infrared with narrow bandwidth.

  • Publication number: 20050057480
    Abstract: A gate driving circuit of a LCD comprises a plurality of drivers, a timing processor, a trigger signal processor, a delay unit, and a logic unit for producing an output enable signal. Further, transferring the signal to the gate driver of a LCD can efficiently control the charging time of each region in the LCD. The main object of the gate driving circuit of a LCD is that block dim phenomenon in each light crystal region will be restrain, and the visualization of the LCD can be enhanced.

  • Publication number: 20040178983
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a compensation device and method for a display gate driver circuit. This compensation circuit is used for compensating the voltage droppings among a plurality of gate driver chips in a liquid crystal display (LCD) panel due to the resistances so as to avoid the appearance of block dims on the display panel caused by the inconsistence of the voltage droppings. A gate driver circuit front compensation device of the LCD panel includes a compensation circuit composed of a timing controller, a trigger generator, a starter circuit and a power converter.
