  • Publication number: 20070223196
    Abstract: A heatsink plate assembly includes a plurality of heatsink plates laminating each other. Each of the heatsink plates has a first side formed with at least one locking tenon and a second side formed with at least one locking mortise. Thus, the heatsink plates are laminated to have a determined width required by the heatsink plate assembly, so that the width of the heatsink plate assembly is increased according to the user's requirement without being limited to the width of the extruding machine, thereby facilitating fabrication of the heatsink plate assembly. In addition, each of the heatsink plates is made at a time without needing multiple working procedures, so that each of the heatsink plates is produced easily and rapidly, thereby decreasing costs of fabrication.

  • Patent number: 7242435
    Abstract: A method for motion pixel detection with adaptive thresholds, according to the global motion information among the reference video fields, so as to correctly evaluate whether a missing pixel is in a static region or a non-static region, thereby reconstructing the missing pixel by an inter-field interpolation process or an intra-field interpolation process. If the amount of motion among the reference fields is large, there is high motion information among the reference fields, so the threshold is set to be small; if the amount is small, there is less motion information between the reference fields, and so the threshold should be set to be large.

  • Publication number: 20070057889
    Abstract: Detecting statuses of driving units of an active-matrix organic light emitting diode (AMOLED) may reveal defects in the manufacturing process. This helps to detect and remove defective elements earlier in the manufacturing process before forming luminous layers in an AMOLED so as to decrease loss of organic materials and manufacturing time, and to increase yield significantly in the later part of the manufacturing process. The tested AMOLED includes a plurality of voltage sources, a plurality of pixel electrodes, and a plurality of driving units corresponding to the pixel electrodes respectively. Each driving unit includes a first TFT, a second TFT, and a storage capacitor. Defective elements of each driving unit can be detected by checking the detection results.

  • Publication number: 20060290250
    Abstract: A snow goggle includes an inner lens having an upper electrode and a lower electrode. The distance between the upper electrode and the lower electrode at the mediate portion thereof is substantially equal to that between the upper electrode and the lower electrode at each of the two sides thereof. The mediate portion of each of the upper electrode and the lower electrode has a relatively smaller resistance, and each of the two sides of each of the upper electrode and the lower electrode has a relatively greater resistance, so that the inner lens has a constant temperature. Thus, the whole structure of the inner lens has a constant distance and a constant temperature, thereby enhancing the frost and snow cleaning effect of the snow goggle.

  • Patent number: 7139817
    Abstract: The invention provides for managing information for multiple devices. Each of a set of devices retrieves information from a sequence of servers. A device when starting up reads a list of file names, reads information from each file in sequence, and resolves conflicts among files to present a consistent configuration on each restart of each device. A file includes a sequence of <name, value> pairs. In those cases when two variables have the same name, an operator associated with the second pair indicates whether to overwrite the first value or to edit the first value, such as by appending the second value. One of the pairs indicates the list of file names itself. When the list of file names is changed, the device for which the change is made re-reads the sequence of files and repeats its determination of the pairs, until the list of file names is stabilized.
