Abstract: An immersion cooling system includes a pressure seal tank, an electronic apparatus, a pressure balance pipe and a relief valve. The pressure seal tank is configured to store coolant. A vapor space is formed in the pressure seal tank above the liquid level of the coolant. The electronic apparatus is completely immersed in the coolant. The pressure balance pipe has a gas collection length. The first port of the pressure balance pipe is disposed on the top surface of the pressure seal tank. The relief valve is disposed on the second port of the pressure balance pipe. The second port is farther away from the top surface of the pressure seal tank than the first port. The gas collection length of the pressure equalization tube allows the concentration of vaporized coolant at the first port to be greater than the concentration of vaporized coolant at the second port.

Abstract: A method and system for using an image sensor to control applications on a mobile device is disclosed. The system uses image processing to detect control gestures by the user. Control gestures may include, for example, moving a hand laterally, moving the hand closer or farther away from the camera, or opening and closing a hand. These control motions are linked to user commands to be executed by the application being controlled. The system initializes by storing a background image showing the field of view of the image sensor before any objects are present. It then detects new objects in the field of view by comparing new images to the background image. If a new object is detected, the system waits until the object is stationary in the field of view. After the object is stationary, the system detects if there is a change in the object indicating a control gesture.

Abstract: A method and system for automatically changing the operating mode of a mobile device in response to changes in positioning or the use of the device includes multiple sensors that provide information relating to the mobile device and its environment. The sensors determine positioning information, incident light intensity, and object proximity and detect the presence of a pointer device. The system monitors the sensors and applications executed by the operating system. Based on the monitoring, the system changes the operating mode of the mobile device.

Abstract: A method of enhancing an image matching result using an image classification technique is disclosed, comprising the steps of acquiring relatively significantly hidden ones of a plurality of high overlapped close-range images; classifying each of the high overlapped close-range images to obtain a set of overall spectrum difference information over a multiple-spectra range; introducing a local gray level to each of the classified high overlapped close-range images to apply an integrated image matching; and evaluating a matching index by a threshold according to at least two similarity indexes to obtain a 3-dimensional point cloud coordinate position of a conjugate point for each of such images.

Abstract: The present invention combines an existing photogrammetric mapping system for building-model reconstruction. Topographic maps and models are produced simultaneously. The models can be edited along with aerial images in an online environment. Thus, efficiency and accuracy for building-model reconstruction are increased.

Abstract: A method for true-orthoimage color correction is provided. Aerial images and digital elevation models (DEMs) are used for balancing colors in orthoimages or true-orthoimages. Seam lines between images are also smoothed. Thus, color distinction between images is rectified and orthoimage quality is greatly enhanced.

Abstract: A handheld electronic device includes a first lens module, a second lens module, an input unit and a control unit. The first lens module and the second lens module are respectively disposed on the handheld electronic device. The first lens module captures scenes in a first image capturing boundary. The second lens module captures scenes in a second image capturing boundary, which is different from the first image capturing boundary. The input unit is used for receiving a user input for capturing images. When the input unit receives the user input, the control unit controls the first lens module and the second lens module to captures a first image and a second image respectively at the same time.

The rotating assembly is rotatably mounted on the base on an axis that is parallel to a Z-axis and has a bottom end. The abrasive assemblies move linearly and reciprocatorily in a plane parallel to an X-Y plane and are rotatably mounted on the bottom end of the rotating assembly. The driving assemblies are respectively connected to and drive the abrasive assemblies to rotate. The reciprocating assemblies are mounted securely on the rotating assembly to linearly and reciprocatorily drive the abrasive assemblies in a plane parallel to the X-Y plane. A linear reciprocating direction of each abrasive assembly is opposite to that of an adjacent abrasive assembly.
