Abstract: In an example, an electronic device may include a battery, a charging port to receive electrical power from an external power source to charge the battery, a light source disposed proximate to the charging port, a sensor to monitor a parameter related to an operational environment of the electronic device, and a processor to activate the light source based on the monitored parameter.

Abstract: An example computing device includes a photodetector to measure an amount of light incident on a detection surface of the photodetector. The example computing device includes a state sensor to activate the photodetector responsive to the computing device being in a detection state. The example computing device also includes a processor. An example processor identifies, during the detection state, a user gesture based on an output of the photodetector. The user gesture blocks light incident on the detection surface of the photodetector. The example processor also alters an operation of the computing device based on the user gesture.

Abstract: An example computing device includes: a display to display a color calibration pattern; a touchpad to receive input for the computing device, the touchpad having a reflective layer to reflect the color calibration pattern; a color sensor to detect the reflected color calibration pattern from the touchpad; a processor interconnected with the color sensor and the display, the processor to calibrate a color output of the display based on the color calibration pattern detected at the color sensor.

Abstract: An auxiliary device for installing piston rings is described, which includes a mounting base, a transmission device, a connecting rod and a bracing structure. The mounting base includes a platform, an opening hole and an accommodating space. The transmission device is disposed in the accommodating space and includes a guide screw rod, a sliding base and a motor. The sliding base is slidably screwed on the guide screw rod. The motor can drive the guide screw rod to move the sliding base. The connecting rod is disposed on the sliding base. An external diameter of the piston ring while being put around the connecting rod is greater than an inner diameter of the opening hole. The bracing structure is disposed on the connecting rod. An external diameter of the bracing structure is getting greater from one end connected to the connecting rod. The bracing structure can accommodate the piston.

Abstract: A scraper ring includes a ring body having a gap. The ring body includes an annular inner groove, an annular outer groove, a plurality of equally spaced apertures communicated with both the inner groove and the outer groove, and a pair of projected opposite side walls of the outer groove. The scraper ring includes a spring with an internal shaping member for maintaining a ring shape and with the ring spring being fitted in the inner groove. The spring is firmly disposed in the inner groove of the ring body by the flexibility of the ring body and the spring, improving the strength of the scraper ring. The scraper ring is thus able to stand the repeated movement of the piston inside the cylinder so as to increase its duration of use for a high performance engine.

Abstract: Provided is an oil-control ring mounted around a ring-groove of a piston of a gasoline engine. The oil-control ring comprises an upper first thin ring having a gap, an upper second thin ring having a gap, a lower first thin ring having a gap, a lower second thin ring having a gap, and an intermediate main ring, wherein the gap of the upper first thin ring is not aligned with the gap of the upper second thin ring and the gap of the lower first thin ring is not aligned with the gap of the lower second thin ring. A plurality of embodiments of the main ring are made possible.
