Abstract: An image detection module comprises a base, a seat movably disposed on the base, an image detection unit on the seat, a first guide member by which the seat is joined to the base, moving relative to the base, a first coil on either the base or the seat, a first magnet on either the base or the seat and opposite to the first coil, a first auxiliary magnet on either the base or the seat, corresponding to the first magnet and the first coil between the first magnet an the first auxiliary magnet, and a first Hall element on either the base or the seat and adjacent to the first coil. A magnetic force is generated between the first coil, the first magnet and the first auxiliary magnet by a voltage provided to the first coil, moving the seat along the first axis along the first guide element.

Abstract: An image switching apparatus for an electronic camera. The electronic camera has a lens, an image sensor and a viewfinder. The image switching apparatus includes a housing, an optical assembly and a reciprocating driving device. The housing is disposed between the lens and the image sensor. The lens is opposite the image sensor and the viewfinder is above the housing. The optical assembly is rotatably and movably disposed in the housing and has a beam splitter and an optical compensator. The beam splitter is connected to the optical compensator at a predetermined included angle. The reciprocating driving device is coupled to the optical assembly to rotate and move the optical assembly between a first position and a second position.

Abstract: A method for manufacturing a plating seed layer of electronic elements uses a guiding plate to direct one or more electronic element into insertion holes of a holding plate. Each of the insertion holes has an elastic member to hold the electronic element firmly with two ends thereof exposed outside the holding plate. Finally, a metal film is formed on the surfaces of the two ends of the electronic element through a semiconductor manufacturing process (such as sputtering, vapor vaporization, or the like) to become the seed layer required for plating.

Abstract: A method and system to control the operation of a scrubber, in which, the system includes a valve to control the flow of an exhaust from a tool, a sensor to determine whether the valve is open or closed and a controller to control the operation of the scrubber depending on whether the valve is open or closed.

Abstract: A method for forming a thin film resistor. There is first provided an insulator substrate. There is then formed upon the insulator substrate a blanket thin film resistive layer. There is then removed through a non-photolithographic etching method a portion of the blanket thin film resistive layer to form upon the substrate a patterned thin film resistive layer. Finally, there is then formed through a non-photolithographic printing method upon the patterned thin film resistive layer a patterned conductor lead layer. Alternatively, the portion of the blanket thin film resistive layer may be removed to form the patterned thin film resistive layer after the patterned conductor lead layer is formed upon the blanket thin film resistive layer.

Abstract: A magnetic resistance control apparatus for an exercise bicycle including a bicycle frame having a fork structure extending therefrom, a wheel having a magnetic surface thereon rotatably mounted on an axle within the fork structure, a pedal assembly rotatably connected to the bicycle frame and linked to the wheel such that a rotation of the pedal assembly causes a rotation of the wheel, a suspension arm connected to the fork structure and extending outwardly therefrom so as to have an end positioned beyond an outer diameter of the wheel, a suspension bar connected to the bicycle frame and extending therefrom so as to be positioned above an outer diameter of the wheel, an arc-shaped seat having magnets received on an interior surface thereof, extending around a portion of the wheel such that the magnets face the magnetic surface of the wheel, and a non-magnetic layer extending directly over the magnets of the seat so as to be interposed between the magnets and the wheel.

Abstract: A paint spray-gun cleaner includes a tank having an upper chamber for receiving the paint spray-gun to be cleaned, and a lower chamber for containing a cleaning solvent. The solvent is forced to flow from the lower chamber to the nozzles in the upper chamber by a solvent pumping unit. Compressed air is intermittently supplied to the solvent pumping unit so as to force the solvent out of the solvent pumping unit. When a cover is placed on the top of the tank to seal the upper chamber, the poppet valve of a switch is opened, thereby permitting compressed air to pass through the switch to the solvent pumping unit. When the cover is opened, the switch is closed and the flow of compressed air into the solvent pumping unit is thus stopped.
