  • Publication number: 20110091048
    Abstract: This invention relates to a method for virtual bass synthesis. The low frequency signal is attained by applying a low pass filter to the original. In order to reduce the operations, process of down sampling the low frequency signal, moving the low frequency signal to a series of harmonics whose frequencies are integral times as large as the frequency of low frequency signals, and then up sampling them are provided. By means of psycho-acoustic theory, the weights of harmonics are attained and applied to the harmonics. Finally the weighted harmonics are combined to produce the bass signal. As the result, the virtual bass effect which is almost the same as the low frequency of the original audio signal can be accomplished. Because the harmonic signals are high frequency ones, the virtual effect can be made in the panel speakers or ordinary low-end speakers.

  • Publication number: 20100175498
    Abstract: An adjustment mechanism is provided and includes a main body having a first ratchet portion, a slider movably connected to the main body, a button having a second ratchet portion, and an elastic member connecting the slider and the button. When the elastic member exerts a spring force on the button with the first and second ratchet portions engaged with each other, the slider is movable relative to the main body only in a first direction. When the button is pressed along a second direction, the second ratchet portion disengages from the first ratchet portion, so that the slider is movable relative to the main body in the first direction or in the other direction opposite to the first direction.

  • Patent number: 7644472
    Abstract: A hinge structure is described. A hollow cylinder has a positioning slot in an inner wall thereof. A movable part has a positioning convex portion and a plurality of engraved portions. The positioning convex portion engages with the positioning slot such that the movable part slides within the hollow cylinder. A cover is fixed to the hollow cylinder to secure the movable part and the resilient part within the hollow cylinder. A resilient part is disposed between the cover and the movable part so as to provide the movable part a resilient recovery force. The engraved portions of the movable part are for engaging a rotatable member.
