  • Publication number: 20240027731
    Abstract: An optical lens assembly includes: a first element group, including a first lens group, a partial-reflective-partial-transmissive element and a first optical layer that is located on a visual-side surface of a lens of the first lens group closest to a visual side and includes, in order from the visual side to an image source side, a first absorptive polarizer, a reflective polarizer and a first phase retarder; a second element group, including a second lens group and an image source plane; and a second optical layer, located between the partial-reflective-partial-transmissive element and the image source plane and including, in order from the visual side to the image source side, a second phase retarder and a second absorptive polarizer. When the optical lens assembly satisfies a specific condition, the weight of the device can be reduced, the zoom function can be provided, and the image quality can be ensured.

  • Patent number: 9243698
    Abstract: A gear drive system includes a securing panel, a first slave gear, a drive gear, and an adjusting structure. The securing panel includes a panel body, a rack, and a rotating shaft. An upper part of the first slave gear is adjacent to the rack and aligned with the rack. The drive gear engages the first slave gear. The adjusting structure includes an elastic element, a slave element pivotally mounted to the panel body, and a third slave gear. The third slave gear defines a rotating hole. The rotating shaft is received in the rotating hole. The second slave gear is movable related to the panel body to enable the rotating shaft to be located in different positions of the rotating hole. The third slave gear is driven to move and rotate. The slave element is driven to rotate to press the elastic element.

  • Patent number: 8180166
    Abstract: A method for transcoding a first codeword to a second codeword, wherein both comprise escape codes and escape levels is disclosed. The method comprises receiving a bitstream to determine the first codeword therefrom, determining whether the first codeword belongs to a long escape mode or a short escape mode, and truncating the escape level of the first codeword to generate the second codeword when the first codeword belongs to the long escape mode. An embodiment of the first codeword is a Sorenson H.263 codeword and the second codeword is an H.263 codeword.
