  • Patent number: 9661316
    Abstract: A multi-layered image display device for realizing a multi-layered image with a depth by overlapping a plurality of two-dimensional images includes: a display which can be selectively transparent and produce a first two-dimensional image through a combination of a plurality of pixels, a screen which is disposed behind the display so as to be overlapped in a forward-backward direction with the display; and a projector which is disposed behind the screen so as to project a second two-dimensional image on the screen. By adopting a screen and a projector instead of a rear display and a backlight unit, the cross stripes of the rear display can be removed so as to prevent the occurrence of the interference pattern (Moire phenomenon) due to the interference of different pixel patterns, and an additional diffuse layer can be omitted so that an assembling process of the multi-layer image display device can be simplified.

  • Publication number: 20130072309
    Abstract: A game machine includes: a cable capable of transmitting electric power and data signal; one or more function modules which are connected to the cable and are configured to perform a predetermined function respectively; and a main controller which generates data signal for controlling the function modules and transmits the generated data signal and electric power supplied from outside to the function modules via the cable. Since data signal such as image signal or audio signal and electric power are combined and are then transmitted via one cable, the data signal wiring and the electric power wiring between the main controller and the function module of a game machine can be unified as one, so wiring can be simplified. Accordingly, manufacturing and maintenance become easy and cost for the same can also be saved.

  • Patent number: 5747764
    Abstract: An electric power switch for a vacuum cleaner which is capable of applying an electric voltage to a motor of the vacuum cleaner, capable of controlling a suction force which is established by the motor, is convenient to use, and can be manufactured at a low cost. An air suction passage for introducing an atmospheric air into a handle of the vacuum cleaner extends from a one side wall of a pipe hose toward a cover of the handle in order to communicate with the pipe hose. An operation knob is disposed in a space between the air suction passage and the cover and allows the air suction passage to selectively communicate with an air suction port, which is formed through the cover. A first supporting member for slideably supporting the operation knob extends from a bottom wall of the handle toward the cover up to an upper surface of the air suction passage.
