  • Patent number: 7466693
    Abstract: A global communication internet telephone system is a new software Web Call structure, in which the system user only requires a computer with Windows 98® or above, a duplex sound card, a display interface and internet access, and logging directly into a GTD Web 800 web page thereafter, receiving a automatic number dispensing function and GTD automatic number skipping function. The characteristics of the system lies in that a signature which can be linked to the GTD Web 800 web pages for browsing is added into an e-mail of a user computer. As long as an e-mail receiver clicks on the signature file of the e-mail, he can be linked to the web pages and conduct a VoIP dialog with the e-mail sender. If a computer at a sending side is not powered on the sending side can freely choose whether to forward incoming calls to a designated cellular phone or local phone by automatically appointing a number.

  • Patent number: 7440128
    Abstract: A print data method includes a slicing step, a compressing step and decompressing step. The slicing step divides a swatch of data to be printed and required by each motor movement into a plurality of slices, each having m bits to represent printed pixels and further divided into n segments, where m, n are integers. The compressing step uses an inter-slice compression to represent an (i+1)-th slice of data on a basis of an i-th slice of data for generating a compressed (i+1)-th slice of data and an (i+1)-th control character. The decompressing step uses an inter-slice decompression with respect to the inter-slice compression to restore the (i+1)-th slice of data from the compressed (i+1)-th slice of data for further printing.

  • Publication number: 20080239286
    Abstract: A color filter with low color shift is defined by a light leakage spectrum in the dark state. The color filter is disposed between two polarizing plates so as to measure a first spectrum of dark state a(?), wherein the polarizing directions of the polarizers are orthogonal to each other. A second spectrum of dark state b(?) while the color filter is removed, and then a ratio spectrum of light leakage intensity I(?)=(a(?)/b(?)) is determined. A maximum value P1 in the ratio spectrum of light leakage intensity is determined in a wavelength region in which the ratio spectrum of light leakage intensity of green photoresist overlaps that of a blue photoresist. A maximum value P2 in the ratio spectrum of light leakage intensity is determined in a wavelength region in which the ratio spectrum of light leakage intensity of red photoresist locates.
