Abstract: A beverage filtering cartridge for obtaining beverages, such as coffee, tea or the like, is provided. The beverage filtering cartridge includes an impermeable cup-shaped container, a filtering element, an impermeable cover and a removable instrument. The container has a first opening and a second opening which is smaller than the first opening. The first opening is sealed with the impermeable cover and the second opening is blocked by the removable instrument. The filtering element is located in the container so as to divide the container into two chambers. The tea or coffee will be located between the filtering element and the impermeable cover. When the consumer uses the cartridge by a machine, the consumer must remove the removable instrument and then put the cartridge into the machine. The machine injects water into the cartridge so as to quickly brew the drink, i.e. tea or coffee.

Abstract: A compact zoom lens system includes, in order from an object side to an image side along an optical axis thereof, a first lens group having positive refractive power, a second lens group having positive refractive power and a third lens group also having positive refractive power. The first lens group is stationary and includes a reflecting element for bending the optical path. The second and third lens groups are movable along the optical axis, and each of the first, second and third lens groups has at least one aspheric lens surface. When zooming from a wide-angle end to a telephoto end, the second lens group moves toward the object side and the third lens group moves toward the image side, so as to reduce the spacing between the first and second lens groups and increase the spacing between the second and third lens groups. By this specific optical configuration, the compact zoom lens system has the advantages of small size, simple structure, low cost, good reliability and better image quality.

Abstract: A zoom lens system includes, in order from an object side to an image side along an optical axis thereof, a first lens group having positive refractive power, a second lens group having negative refractive power, a third lens group having positive refractive power and a fourth lens group having positive refractive power. When zooming from a wide-angle end to a telephoto end, both the first and third lens groups move to the object side, and the second lens group first moves to the image side and then moves to the object side, whereby a first variable distance between the first and second lens groups is increased and a second variable distance between the second and third lens groups is decreased. The fourth lens group is also movable along the optical axis, so as to change a third variable distance between the third and fourth lens groups. Each of the third and fourth lens groups includes at least one aspheric surface.

Abstract: A camera having a shutter button, a photo sensor array, an anti-shake module controlled by an anti-shake enable signal, and a mechanical shutter. By pressing the shutter button, a first operation and a second operation are provided to trigger an auto-focus enable signal and an image exposure control signal, respectively. The anti-shake enable signal is enabled when the auto-focus enable signal has been triggered and the image exposure control signal is disabled or has just been triggered. The photo sensor array performs image exposure according to the image exposure control signal. The mechanical shutter is disabled and closed after the image exposure control signal is triggered for exposure period.
