  • Publication number: 20120162780
    Abstract: A zoom lens of the present invention includes a first lens group, a second lens group, an aperture, a third lens group, a fourth lens group, and an image surface in sequence along an optical axis from an object side to an image side. The first lens group has positive refractive power, and includes at least two lenses. The second lens group has negative refractive power, and includes three lenses. The third lens group has positive refractive power, and includes at least two lenses. The fourth lens group has positive refractive power. The zoom lens is switched to a telephoto mode from a wide-angle mode by moving the first lens group toward the object side, moving the second lens group toward the image side, and moving the third lens group toward the object side.

  • Patent number: 8009103
    Abstract: The disclosure discloses a triple-band antenna including a feed line, a first radiating body, a second radiating body and a grounding sheet. The first radiating body is a rectangular sheet. One end of the first radiating body is electrically connected with the end of the feed line. The second radiating body includes three parallel bar shape sheets extending from the first radiating body and surrounded by the first radiating body, and both share the feed line. The grounding sheet is disposed beside the feed line. The first radiating body and the second radiating body of the triple-band antenna generate three resonance frequencies according to the radio frequency received by the feed line to allow the triple-band antenna work under three different operating frequencies.

  • Publication number: 20070159495
    Abstract: A method and system for processing an image is provided. The method and system are used to enhance the sharpness of the image. First, an input pixel value is filtered for producing a filter value. Afterwards, an output pixel value is determined according to whether the compensation value is higher than the threshold value. If the compensation value is higher than the threshold value, the output pixel value is the input pixel value merged with the threshold value. If the compensation value is not higher than the threshold, the output pixel value is the input pixel value merged with the compensation value.

  • Patent number: 7158313
    Abstract: The present invention provides a miniature zoom lens having a first, a second, a third, a fourth, and a fifth lens group from object side to image side in order. The powers of those lens groups in same order are positive, negative, positive, positive, and positive. The first lens group for receiving light and the third lens group are fixedly positioned. The second lens group for zooming, the fourth lens group for compensating aberration and the fifth lens group for focusing are movably positioned. When the zoom lens is zoomed from wide status to telephoto status, the second lens group is moved toward the third lens group, the fourth lens group is moved close to the third lens group. The sensitivity of the zoom lens is determined by second lens group to simplify the adjusting and proofing procedures of other lens groups.

    Abstract: The present invention discloses a method for image adjustment and includes the following steps. First, an image is supplied. The image includes many first sampling pixels in a high frequency area. Then, at least an interpolation algorithm is used on the image to obtain a first interpolation curve. Afterwards, the first interpolation curve in the high frequency area is modified to acquire a second interpolation curve. Then, according to the second interpolation curve, pixels are interpolated into the image.
