  • Publication number: 20090238059
    Abstract: A holographic recoding medium is provided, having holographic pages. Each page has reference mark (RM) placement areas at fixed locations for placing RM patterns. The reference marks are used to calibrate data images of data areas each of which is enclosed by at least three RM regions. Hidden information of the medium is stored by an specific encoded pattern based on existence, types and arrangements of the RM marks.

  • Patent number: 7543196
    Abstract: An apparatus for testing integrated circuits is disclosed. The apparatus for testing integrated circuits comprises an integrated circuit and a tester. The integrated circuit undergoing testing receives an input signal, and outputs an output signal from a first output terminal or a second output terminal according to a first pulse width of the input signal, and outputs an error signal according to a difference between the first pulse width and a second pulse width. The tester outputs the input signal according to the output signal and the error signal.

  • Publication number: 20090054144
    Abstract: A force feedback apparatus and system are provided in the present invention. The force feedback apparatus is capable of balancing the reactive force or torque generated by an actuator of the force feedback apparatus through a balance output generated by a balance controlling unit coupled to the actuator so that the force feedback apparatus can interactive with the operator without a need for connection to a fixed frame. On the other hand, the system of the present invention adopts the force feedback apparatus to be a human operating interface for allowing the operator to interact with programs executed in an electrical interactive device so as to increase the trueness of the virtual reality.

  • Patent number: 7463082
    Abstract: A current mirror has a first transistor and a second transistor. Current through the first and second transistors are an input current and an output current, respectively. The ratio of the output current to the input current is constant. The first and second transistors have the same voltage difference between the gate and source. The voltage difference between the drain and source of the second transistor is equalized to that of the first transistor by a first operational amplifier, and the voltage difference between the drain and source of the first transistor is equalized to a control voltage by a second operational amplifier. By setting the value of the control voltage, the first and second transistors can operate in triode region to simultaneously provide high output current and sufficient potential for a load.

  • Publication number: 20060107481
    Abstract: A scrubbing pad formed of porous curled nylon strands. Portion of the strands are stitched transversely to form weft and the remaining strands are stitched longitudinally to form warp. In one embodiment in the warp two adjacent strands are formed as a unit, two units are separated by longitudinal strands, and a distance therebetween allows another unit opposite the sandwiched single strand to stitch. An uneven texture on one surface of the scrubbing pad is adapted to increase bubble creation capability. Further, a wavy texture on the other surface is adapted to increase rubbing capability. The scrubbing pad has advantages of decreasing the amount of dishwashing liquid being used, effectively removing dirt adhered on kitchenware, preventing microorganism from growing, and being not subject to decomposition.

  • Patent number: 7002414
    Abstract: A digital adjustable chip oscillator comprises a voltage control oscillator, a reference voltage circuit, a voltage regulation circuit, a digital tuning circuit, a frequency detector and a programmable controller. The oscillator generates an oscillation signal and receives a control voltage and an operating voltage from the voltage regulation circuit and the reference voltage circuit to stabilize and adjust the frequency of oscillation signal. The digital tuning circuit receives a digital code stored in a programmable memory to adjust the control voltage. The frequency detector detects and compares the frequency of oscillation signal with a first and second frequency, wherein when the frequency of the oscillation signal lies between the first and second frequency, the frequency detector outputs a high voltage signal and otherwise the frequency detector outputs a low voltage signal. The programmable controller receives the high voltage signal to stop a programmable counter to acquire the digital code.
