  • Patent number: 11089259
    Abstract: Provided in the present disclosure are a video recording method and a video recording terminal, the method including: recording a video in response to receipt of a record instruction, pausing the recording in response to receipt of a pause instruction, so as to generate a first video file; continuing to display a dynamic image which is being captured by an image sensor in real time, and displaying a last frame image of the first video file subjected to transparency processing on the dynamic image in a superimposition manner; continuing to record the video in response to receipt of a continue-to-record instruction, stopping the recording in response to receipt of a stop instruction, so as to generate a second video file; and splicing the first video file and the second video file into a target video file.

  • Patent number: 6774545
    Abstract: A parabolic reflector lamp is provided wherein lamp efficiency is improved by more substantially approximating the shape of a complete parabola at the inner reflective surface. In a first embodiment, the heat shield is placed at the mouth of the opening at the base of the lamp, thereby “filling in” the opening and substantially completing the parabolic shape of the reflector. In a second embodiment, the opening at the base of the lamp is narrowed to minimize its cross-sectional area and maximizing reflective surface area. In a third embodiment, the glass shell of the lamp is provided in a two-piece configuration, allowing the size of the hole through the base of the glass shell to be reduced. The openings required to accommodate electrodes (and an exhaust tube in sealed lamps) are located in a second cup-shaped piece attached via a flange to the main body of the glass shell.

  • Patent number: 6586864
    Abstract: The invention is related to a reflector lamp comprising a parabolic primary reflecting section, a parabolic or spheric secondary reflecting section joined to the primary reflecting section, a parabolic or spheric tertiary reflecting section joined to the secondary reflecting section, and an incandescent or discharge light source. The secondary and tertiary reflecting sections have faceted surfaces which longitudinally extend along the surface thereof so that most (at least 50%) or substantially all the light reflected by the faceted surfaces avoids the light source and thus the light, which would be absorbed or scattered by the light source, is minimized or substantially eliminated.

  • Patent number: 6149283
    Abstract: A lighting device has a support that can be screwed into a standard 120 volt light socket. A ring with multiple, alternating color, circumferentially spaced LEDs, is connected to the support and a reflector is provided over the ring for reflecting light from the LEDs past the ring. A power supply circuit is connected to the LEDs for powering the LEDs to emit light. The light can be white if the LEDs are a combination of red, blue and green or other white-forming combinations, or the power circuit can selectively power subsets of the LEDs to produce and desired color. The same circuit can be used to vary the intensity of the light in the manner of a dimmer.
