Abstract: A geometric error measuring device includes a measuring module and at least one (quadrant) photodiode. The measuring module has an emitting deice, which may emit at least one light ray; the photodiode may receive the incident ray. Also, the trajectory of the incident ray is parallel with the direction of measurement.

The index number corresponds to the image number. The scroll interface is moved along a first direction. The scroll interface is adjusted by M, a natural number, multiplied by S pixels to reposition the display for being adjacent to the initial coordinate value, and the display displays images with the image numbers corresponding to the index numbers from X to X+G?1.

Abstract: In a computer system, a virtual machine (VM) guest is instantiated on a VM host. The VM host detects a plurality of successive universal serial bus (USB) events occurring in the computer system and compares the plurality of successive USB events to a preset criterion. When the plurality of successive USB events meets the preset criterion, the VM host transmits a request for triggering an operation mode to the VM guest. The VM guest executes a control program for initiating the operation mode in response to the request.

Abstract: In a computer system, virtual machine (VM) guests are concurrently instantiated on a VM host. When a USB device is plugged in to the computer system, the VM host loads a backend driver associated with the USB device, which controls the USB device. The VM host provides a user interface to presenting a list of VM guests, in which a user can select a VM guest to be bound with the USB device. Then the VM host allocates the control of the USB device to the selected VM guest.
