  • Patent number: 11462049
    Abstract: A fingerprint identification apparatus, including a light path adjustment element, an optical filter layer, and an image sensor, is provided. The light path adjustment element is disposed on a transmission path of an image beam from a fingerprint of a user. The optical filter layer is disposed on a transmission path of the image beam from the light path adjustment element. The optical filter layer has openings.

  • Patent number: 10628656
    Abstract: An image capturing apparatus includes a light transmitting cover, a display panel, a Light guiding member, a light emitting element, and an image capturing element. The light transmitting cover has a surface in contact with the environmental medium. The light emitting element is disposed on one side of the Light guiding member. The sensing light beam is transmitted to the light penetrating portion in the first light guiding portion to be projected to the display area of the light transmitting cover, and a portion of the sensing light beam is totally reflected by the surface to form a signal beam that enters the second light guiding portion from the light penetrating portion. The image capturing element is disposed on the other side of the Light guiding member to receive the signal light beam that is transmitted in the second light guiding portion.

  • Publication number: 20150323723
    Abstract: An anti-burst, or so-called an anti-shatter, OGS (One-Glass-Solution) touch panel is provided. The OGS touch panel includes a cover lens of glass and a touch sensor layer formed on one side of the cover lens. The OGS touch panel further includes a polarizer, wherein the polarizer is bonded, by means of an adhesive layer included in the polarizer, to one side of the touch sensor layer which is the side opposite from the cover lens, or is bonded to one side of the cover lens which is the side opposite from the touch sensor layer. Because of the function of the adhesive layer included in the polarizer, the OGS touch panel as provided achieves the advantage of both being shatterproof and having a reduced total thickness.

  • Publication number: 20110000081
    Abstract: An underwater cutting device for the handle of MTR plate-type fuel has a housing that has an accommodation space for a feed pneumatic cylinder to drive a slidable base for lateral movement. And in front of the accommodation space there is a cutting chamber. A primary motor is located on the slidable base to drive the saw blade inside the cutting chamber to move and cut laterally with the slidable base that is driven by the feed pneumatic cylinder. A positioning block is located on the side with the housing and in the moving path of the saw blade. In the positioning block there is an accommodation space to hold the MTR plate-type fuel. Above the positioning block there is at least a pressing pneumatic cylinder to immobilize the MTR plate-type fuel and facilitate the saw blade to cut and remove the handle of MTR plate-type fuel.
