Abstract: The conventional I/O devices of a storage element, such as memory card, have a built-in microprocessor control unit (MCU) for executing the I/O commands. The demand of MCU increases the cost. Besides, the capacity of the storage element supported by the device is depend on the firmware inside the MCU. Since the updating of firmware is a tough job, the supportability is lack of elasticity. This invention discloses a method for driving the I/O device of storage element that strengthens the device driver to get rid of the MCU. The capacity supported hence can be raised by merely updating the device driver.

Abstract: A system, method and computer program product are provided for performing a contingent claim valuation of a combination option including one or more multi-stage contingent claims, and an early-launch contingent claim. The method may include determining a first value representing payoffs attributable to exercise of the early-launch contingent claim at a selected decision point; and a second value representing payoffs the attributable to exercise of the multi-stage contingent claim(s) at respective decision point(s), and a contingent claim at an expiration exercise point. The first and/or second values may be determined based upon a respective present value distribution of contingent future value and a respective present value of an exercise price, the present values including a respective distribution and exercise price discounted according to first and second discount rates, respectively. A value of the contingent claim may then be determined based upon the first value and/or the second value.

Abstract: The present invention discloses a graphic user interface (GUI) of a computer software. When users perform the actions of copying, pasting and cutting, the users need to open several windows to perform these actions. The results in that users are persecuted by too many windows. Accordingly, the present invention provides a graphic user interface. The graphic user interface provides two or more divisional windows. The divisional windows are comfortable for user to perform file copying, cutting and pasting.

Abstract: The conventional apparatus for reading/writing storage devices need a built-in microprocessor control unit (MCU) to process commands. Thus, the flexiability (e.g.: supporting capacity of storage device) and the cost of the apparatus are not satisfied. The present invention employs a driver and a hardwire circuit to replace the MCU for money saving without changing other units in the apparatus. Moreover, the apparatus of the present invention can raise the supporting capacity of storage device and compatibility by just updating the driver.

Abstract: An apparatus for feature detection of a test object includes at least one light source module and at least one image capturing unit. The light source module provides light to illuminate a test region of the test object, and includes a substrate, a set of light-emitting components, and a light-focusing unit. The light-emitting components are mounted on the substrate for emitting light in parallel directions that are generally transverse to the substrate. The light-focusing unit is to be disposed between the light-emitting components and the test object, receives the light emitted by the light-emitting components, and focuses the light on the test region of the test object. The image capturing unit captures an image of the test object at the test region.

Abstract: A offset pen includes a holding part, a writing end and a connecting part connected therebetween, in which the writing end and the holding part are disposed on different axes. When the user is operating the writing tool, the holding part inclines naturally while the writing end keeps vertical to the writing surface, and the writing result can be observed through the visible space formed between the writing end and the holding part. A holding end is disposed at the front end of the holding part of the writing tool, and each surface of the holding end can be twisted into irregular surfaces. Since the holding part, the connecting part and the writing end are substantially arranged as a Z letter, a perfect fitting feeling of the fingers can be created. Therefore, different users can feel comfortable and the fingers of the users with different holding poses can be naturally directed to a correct holding position, so as to form various geometric states suitable for hand holding.

Abstract: A radio frequency (RF) tuner includes a tuner housing, a cover coupled to a first side of the housing, and a tuner printed circuit board (PCB) including a plurality of layers coupled to a second side of the housing, wherein the layers are configured to shield the tuner PCB thereby reducing electromagnetic interference emissions and RF radiated fields in said PCB.

Abstract: An illumination device for backlighting electronic products has a transparent board, two illumination elements and a bracket. The transparent board has a bottom surface and two opposite ends. A recess is defined in each end of the transparent board respectively, and an illumination element is mounted in each recess respectively to produce light that enters the transparent board. Multiple reflecting dots are formed on the bottom surface of the transparent board to reflect the light, and the density of the reflecting dots increases gradually in order. The bracket is attached to the bottom surface of the transparent board and is used to attach the illumination device in electric products. The light is reflected by the reflecting dots and goes out across the transparent board to create a surface-area light source.

Abstract: A keyboard includes an upper member having a top face on which a number of pushbuttons are movably mounted and a lower member having a bottom face. Two legs are pivoted to the bottom face for being movable between a stowed position where the keyboard is allowed to lie down on for example a desk and an extended position where the keyboard is supported in an inclined manner on the desk. Two support members are pivoted to a lateral edge face of the keyboard that connects the top and bottom faces. The support members are movable between a collapsed position to an erected position where the keyboard is supported by the support members in a standing up manner with the lateral edge face substantially confronting the desk for reducing the amount of surface area of the desk occupied by the keyboard and for display purposes.
