  • Publication number: 20110193789
    Abstract: An air pressure balance structure for touch panel has at least one long narrow ventilating tunnel formed vertically to a gluing frame of a resistive touch panel. The ventilating tunnel communicates an inner space of the touch panel with the outside of the touch panel so as to prevent a damage caused by difference of air pressure. By the long narrow ventilating tunnel and the adhesive material of the gluing frame, moisture and dust will be prevented from coming into the touch panel so that an inner cleanliness of the touch panel will be ensured. The ventilating tunnel also has a turning portion, the turning portion has large containing space so as to buffer the air flow and capture the moisture and dust.

    Abstract: A switch embedded integrated circuit for battery protection includes a MOSFET having a body diode, and a control logic circuit for switching the MOSFET and the direction of the body diode to control the charge current to and the discharge current from a battery. The control logic circuit turns off the MOSFET once any abnormal operation such as over-voltage and under-voltage happens, and turns on the MOSFET according to an OVPR threshold, an OVPR delay time, an UVPR threshold and an UVPR delay time. The OVPR threshold and the OVPR delay time are determined depending on the battery being coupled to a load or a charger, or floating.

    Abstract: A micro optical head is provided, which provides sub-wavelength focusing spot and very long depth of focus. The optical head includes a transparent substrate, an opaque film, and at least one sub-wavelength annular channel. After coherent light transmits the transparent substrate supporting the optical head and passes through the appropriately designed sub-wavelength annular channel, the transmitted light can overcome the diffraction limit, and the transmission energy is improved efficiently. The transmitted light converges after a certain distance behind the optical head and forms a sub-wavelength-scale beam that maintains a very long distance without divergence.

  • Patent number: 7792006
    Abstract: The present invention provides an optical head with a single or multiple sub-wavelength light beams, which can be used in arenas such as photolithography, optical storage, optical microscopy, to name a few. The present invention includes a transparent substrate, a thin film, and a surface structure with sub-wavelength surface profile. The incident light transmits through the transparent substrate, forms a surface plasma wave along the sub-wavelength aperture located within the thin film, and finally re-emits through spatial coupling with the sub-wavelength profile of the surface structure. As the coupled re-emitting light beam or light beams can maintain the waist less than that of the diffraction limit for a few micrometers out of the surface with sub-wavelength profile in many cases, this invention can have applications ranging from micro or nano manufacturing, metrology, and manipulation by using light beams with waist smaller than the diffraction limit.
