  • Publication number: 20080245202
    Abstract: A food processor comprises a body provided therein with an operating motor, a cutting seat, and an upper cover. The cutting seat is disposed within a space formed above the body and is linked with the operating motor, so that the cutting seat and the operating motor are rotated simultaneously. The upper cover is mounted on an upper end of the body and is provided with an introduced pipe extending downwardly from its surface. The introduced pipe includes a first introduced passageway and a second introduced passageway, which are interconnected with each other. Vegetables, fruit, or other food is introduced into a material inlet of the two passageways and pushed tightly with a material-pushing plunger to render the vegetables, fruit, or other food cut by the cutting seat at a material outlet at the bottom of the introduced pipe.

  • Publication number: 20080175107
    Abstract: An optical reading/writing apparatus has an optical head that includes a collimator and a lens. For focusing control, a startup procedure is executed to generate a first startup S-curve. A boundary is then set according to the startup S-curve. After executing focusing on and tracking on, a plurality of position combinations of the collimator and the lens are selected for focusing calibration, thereby obtaining respective focusing error signals. By comparing the focusing error signals with the boundary, whether the position combinations of the selected collimator and the lens are valid can be determined. One of the valid position combinations with the greatest image-quality value is then selected to read/write the optical disc in the subsequent reading/writing procedure.

  • Publication number: 20080086648
    Abstract: When a current for charging an electronic device is too small, when the electronic device has been charged for a long time, or when the electronic device still needs to be charged for a long time, a solution involves increasing the current used for charging the electronic device.

  • Publication number: 20070114913
    Abstract: A field emission backlight module has a field emission structure with cathode and anode provided on the same plane, so that electrons directly penetrate an independently provided fluorescent powder layer to produce light. The light is emitted uniformly without the need of the conventional optical membrane. Since the light produced by the fluorescent powder layer is not blocked by the anode, the problem of charge accumulation on the fluorescent powder layer is avoided, and it is not necessary to use expensive light-transmittable conducting glass as the anode. With the cathode and the anode located at the same plane, it is not necessary to use a precision spacer to adjust the distance between the cathode and the anode, enabling the module to be manufactured at reduced cost and high good yield. When the color sequential displaying method is adopted, expensive color filters required in the conventional LCD may be omitted.
