  • Publication number: 20110271843
    Abstract: An extracting mechanism for coffee capsule has a bracket member, a coffee capsule member removably mounted in the cavity of the bracket, and a capsule thrust mechanism mounted on a panel. A handle is fixedly mounted on the top surface of the panel and an extracting plate having an upper thrust needle in the bottom; and a crank sliding mechanism connected between the handle and the extracting plate. When the handle is rotated around the shaft, the crank sliding mechanism will drive the extracting plate to move upwardly or downwardly. When the extracting plate moves downwardly along the track, the upper thrust needle will through the top of the capsule and then the bottom of the capsule will be thrust. The coffee power then can be extracted through the upper and lower thrust needles.

  • Patent number: 8054560
    Abstract: A zoom lens includes a first, a second, a third and a fourth lens groups that are arranged along an optical axis and from an object side to an image side in sequence. The refractive powers of the four lens groups are positive, negative, positive and positive, respectively. The first and the third lens groups are fixed at a fixed position. The second lens group is movable along the optical axis in accordance with the change of magnification. The fourth lens group is movable along the optical axis in accordance with keeping an image plane fixed at an image sensor. The present invention has at least four pieces of lens that are made of plastic material in order to decrease camera lens weight and move easily the lens groups. In addition, the present invention has small variation of aperture value, moderate zoom ratio and compact size at the same time.

  • Publication number: 20050037780
    Abstract: A mobile communication device includes a control unit, an output device, a memory, a digital compass, an input device, a microphone, and a speaker. These components are connected with a power source. The control unit calculates direction information with the program stored in the memory, and the direction information is transmitted from the digital compass to the output device. Even without knowledge of compass operation, a user can reference the mobile communication device displaying an accurate direction on the output device.

  • Patent number: 5051669
    Abstract: A voice coil motor includes an upper yoke having a lower surface, and a lower yoke having an upper surface. Two upper side yokes are attached to the lower surface of the upper yoke respectively at laterally opposite end positions on the lower surface of the upper yoke. Two lower side yokes are attached to the upper surface of the lower yoke respectively at laterally opposite end positions on the upper surface of the lower yoke. A central yoke has two distal end portions respectively sandwiched between the upper side yokes and the lower side yokes. An upper magnet is attached to the lower surface of the upper yoke and located above the central yoke. A lower magnet is attached to the upper surface of the lower yoke and located beneath the central yoke. A rotary arm is pivotally mounted on the upper yoke. The rotary arm has a coil wound around the central yoke with a spacing being maintained therebetween so that the rotary arm is allowed to pivot along the central yoke.
