Abstract: A speaker module including a diaphragm structure, a rear sound box and a cavity is provided. The diaphragm structure has a front end and a rear end that are opposite to each other. The rear sound box connects to the rear end of the diaphragm structure. The cavity connects to the front end of the diaphragm structure and has a sound output opening.

Abstract: An operation mechanism is provided, including a fixed ring and a rotating assembly, wherein the rotating assembly is rotatably connected to the fixed ring. The rotating assembly includes a rotating ring and a movable portion. The rotating ring connects to the fixed ring. The rotating ring and the movable portion are fixed to each other. The movable portion is disposed on a surface of the fixed ring and configured to contact a circuit board disposed on the surface. When the rotating assembly is rotated from a first position to a second position relative to the fixed ring, the movable portion moves from a first contact position to a second contact position relative to the circuit board.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a method for inhibiting sprouting, particularly pre-harvest sprouting, in plant seeds, by introducing a polynucleotide encoding a FCA protein into the plant.

Abstract: An electronic device is disclosed herein and includes a multi-functional power button and a processor, where the multi-functional power button includes a power switch and a fingerprint recognition module. The fingerprint recognition module is combined on the power switch, and the processor is coupled to the multi-functional power button. The fingerprint recognition module is configured to extract a fingerprint feature information. The processor is configured to determine whether the multi-functional power button is pressed or touched to respectively cause the power switch to generate a switching signal or cause the fingerprint recognition module to extract the fingerprint feature information.

Abstract: A disposable ear probe cover includes a light-transmissive cover body, a flange and a spacer member. The flange is formed on the light-transmissive cover body to surround an opening end of the light-transmissive cover. The spacer member is formed on the light-transmissive cover body. Therefore, when the disposable ear probe cover is sleeved into another disposable ear probe cover which is identical to the disposable ear probe cover, the spacer member of the disposable ear probe cover supports the other disposable ear probe cover so that a void gap is defined between the flange of the disposable ear probe cover and another flange of the another disposable ear probe cover.

Abstract: A stylus includes a casing comprising an opening, a push rod disposed in the casing, a pen head fixed on an end of the push rod, a reflector coupled to the push rod, and a linkage mechanism disposed in the casing. At least a part of the pen head is exposed of the casing. An end of the linkage mechanism is fixed on the casing. The linkage mechanism connects reflector to the push rod, such that when the pen head is pushed into the casing, a moving distance of the reflector is greater than that of the pen head, and the reflector is exposed of the opening.

Abstract: A foldable electric device includes an upper member, a lower member, a fingerprint recognition module, a sensing unit, a control unit, and a power unit. The upper member and the lower member are pivoted with each other. The fingerprint recognition module is positioned on the upper member. The sensing unit is responsive to a motion of flipping the upper member so as to generate an enabling signal. The power unit distributes power to the control unit and the power unit according to the enabling signal, so that the control unit can compare the fingerprint characteristic information with the preloaded fingerprint data when the fingerprint recognition module captures fingerprint characteristic information. When the fingerprint characteristic information and the preloaded fingerprint data are matched, the control unit notifies an operating system to execute a boot process, and the fingerprint characteristic information serves as a basis for logging in the operating system.

Abstract: An outer-hanging touch apparatus is hanged on a display apparatus. The display apparatus has a front surface, a top surface, and a rear surface. The outer-hanging touch apparatus includes a touch module and a hanging assembly. The hanging assembly includes a hanging member, an adjusting member, and a driving member. The hanging member is fixed to the touch module and extends to the rear surface. The hanging member includes a guiding structure. The adjusting member is slidably engaged with the guiding structure. The adjusting member abuts against a junction between the top and rear surfaces. The driving member is engaged with the hanging member and the adjusting member for moving the adjusting member relative to the hanging member. When the adjusting member moves toward or away from the touch module along the guiding structure, the hanging member correspondingly moves away from or toward the top surface.
