Abstract: A keyswitch includes a cap, a board, first and second support members rotatably connected to the cap and the board, a seesaw member, and a magnetic member. The seesaw member movably supports at least one of the cap and the first and second support members. The magnetic member is disposed on the board corresponding to the seesaw member. When the cap is pressed, the at least one of the cap and the first and second support members drives the seesaw member to raise and the cap moves from a non-pressed position to a pressed position. When the cap is released, a magnetic attraction force between the magnetic member and the seesaw member drives the seesaw member to raise for lifting the at least one of the cap and the first and second support members, so as to move the cap back to the non-pressed position.

Abstract: A keyswitch structure includes a base, a keycap, at least one lift mechanism, a link, and a restoration mechanism. The lift mechanism is connected to and between the base and the keycap. The link is moveably on the base. The restoration mechanism is disposed on the link and the base and can generate a restoration force. When the keycap is pressed down by a user to move toward the base, a sliding portion of the lift mechanism slides on the base to drive the link to move relative to the base. Further, when the pressing on the keycap by the user is eliminated, the restoration force urges the link to move to drive the sliding portion to slide reversely, so that the keycap moves away from the base.

Abstract: A keyswitch includes a casing, a key cap and a support device rotatably disposed between the key cap and the casing. One of the casing and the key cap has a first magnetic area and the support device has a second magnetic area corresponding to the first magnetic area. When the key cap is not pressed, a magnetic attraction force between the first and second magnetic areas keeps the key cap at a non-pressed position. When the key cap is pressed by an external force such that the second magnetic area moves away from the first magnetic area, the key cap moves from the non-pressed position toward the pressed position. When the external force is removed, the second magnetic area moves toward the first magnetic area due to the magnetic attraction force such that the key cap moves from the pressed position toward the non-pressed position.

Abstract: An energy transferring system including a source-side resonator, an intermediate resonant module, and a device-side resonator is provided. The three resonators substantially have the same resonant frequency for generating resonance. The energy on the source-side resonator is coupled to the intermediate resonant module, such that non-radiative energy transfer is performed between the source-side resonator and the intermediate resonant module. The energy coupled to the intermediate resonant module is further coupled to the device-side resonator, such that non-radiative energy transfer is performed between the intermediate resonant module and the device-side resonator to achieve energy transfer between the source-side resonator and the device-side resonator. The coupling coefficient between the intermediate resonant module and its two adjacent resonators is larger than the coupling coefficient between the source-side resonator and the device-side resonator.

Abstract: A thin-film optical recording medium and compatible materials is disclosed. When the transparent layer and the reflecting layer of the present invention are exposed to a light beam, the two layers react to form a semi-transparent reflective alloy/compound area. The presence of such area (1) decreases the effective optical thickness of the transparent layer and/or (2) forms a region of changed optical n & k and/or (3) changes the optical polarization angle. At least one of the above three effects produces an optical contrast before and after the recording from which the signal modulation required for reading the optical media can be derived. The present invention allows high-density, high-resolution, high-speed recording of data that is highly compatible with the full visible-light spectrum.
