  • Patent number: 10394685
    Abstract: Embodiments of the present invention address deficiencies of the art in respect to XPATH expression debugging and provide a novel and non-obvious method, system and apparatus for an XPATH expression debugging framework. In an embodiment of the invention, an XPATH expression debugging method can include receiving an XPATH input expression, parsing the XPATH input expression to produce a group of sub-expressions, and ordering the sub-expressions in a model for the XPATH input expression. Thereafter, in response to a selection of one of the sub-expressions in the model, a result set can be produced for the sub-expression.

  • Patent number: 10039192
    Abstract: The present disclosure illustrates an ultra-thin dual-channel flexible circuit bridge connector including a dual-channel flexible circuit board, a first connection interface and a second connection interface. The dual-channel flexible circuit board includes, in a sequential order, a first insulating layer, a first circuit layer, a second insulating layer, a ground layer, a third insulating layer, a second circuit layer and a fourth insulating layer. The first connection interface and the second connection interface can be used to link two extend interface cards spaced apart by various distances, thereby forming a bridge status. The ground layer between the first circuit layer and the second circuit layer can be served as a common reference plane for dual-channel high frequency signal transmission and provide shielding and isolating effect, so as to satisfy the requirement for working bandwidth to satisfy the requirement for characteristic impedance, reduce skin effect, reduce EMI and crosstalk interference.

  • Patent number: 9936577
    Abstract: The present disclosure illustrates a dual-channel flexible circuit bridge connector and a dual graphics card system using the same. The dual-channel flexible circuit bridge connector includes a dual-channel flexible circuit board, a first connection interface and a second connection interface. The dual-channel flexible circuit board includes, in a sequential order, a first insulating layer, a first circuit layer, a second insulating layer, a ground layer, a third insulating layer, a second circuit layer and a fourth insulating layer. The first connection interface and the second connection interface can be used to link two graphics cards spaced apart by a non-fixed distance, thereby forming a bridging status. Therefore, the dual graphics card system can manipulate two graphics cards to perform parallel computation, so as to achieve better efficiency in computing process and graphics display.

  • Patent number: 7845630
    Abstract: A sheet feeding device includes a pick roller and a resilient element disposed above the pick roller. The pick roller has a roller surface. The resilient element includes two side resilient arms and a center resilient arm located between the two side resilient arms. Free ends of the two side resilient arms are pushed forward by all sheets when the sheets arrive between the free ends of the two side resilient arms and the roller surface. A free end of the center resilient arm faces the roller surface of the pick roller and maintains a gap therebetween. When too many pieces of paper are drawn forward to the resilient element, the side resilient arms are pushed forward further more, the uppermost paper contacts the center resilient arm. The center resilient arm cooperates with the side resilient arms to provide the paper a pressure big enough to be conveyed forward.

  • Patent number: 7841592
    Abstract: A paper feeding device includes a pick roller, a spring element and a separator pad. The pick roller has a roller surface. The spring element is disposed above the pick roller. The spring element has two spring arms extending toward two ends of the pick roller. Free ends of the two spring arms extend to positions outside the two ends of the pick roller and below the roller surface so as to be contactless with the roller surface and are pushed forward and upward by papers and then transfer a press force to the pick roller. A separator pad is arranged in front of the spring element and contacts with the roller surface of the pick roller for cooperating with the pick roller to separate a lowermost one of the papers. Because the spring arms are contactless with the pick roller directly, so the spring arms do not rub the pick roller, which avoids the pick roller being abraded.

  • Patent number: 7755028
    Abstract: An optical scanning device with a dustproof function includes a shell defining a first receiving room and a second receiving room communicating with the first receiving room through an open window defined on the shell for scanning light beams passing therethrough. An optical scanning module is mounted in the first receiving room. A glass platform is located on the second receiving room at a position facing the open window for insulating the first receiving room from the outside of the shell. A correcting plate is stuck on the bottom of the glass platform. Such structure of the optical scanning device enables the glass platform to be firstly assembled with the shell in a dustless chamber, which prevents the suspending dust from falling in the first receiving room and attaching to the optical scanning module during the subsequent assembly process and ensures the scanning quality of the optical scanning device.
