Abstract:
An electronic device includes a storage unit, a sound signal receiving unit, a remote signal generating unit, a processing unit, and a transmitting unit. The control table records RC devices, sound parameters, and control commands. Each RC device is associated with at least one sound parameter. Each sound parameter corresponds to one control command. The sound signal receiving unit receives sound signals. The processing unit determines a sound parameter according to the received sound signals, searches in the control table to determine the control command the sound parameter corresponding to according to a selected RC device, and controls the remote signal generating unit to generate a remote signal corresponding to the determined control command. The transmitting unit transmits the remote signal to the selected RC device.
Abstract:
A handwriting input device includes a housing and a nib selectively exposed from a bottom side of the housing or hidden in the housing. The device further includes a pressure sensor, a motion sensor, and a microcontroller. The pressure sensor generates pressure signals when the nib is depressed. The motion sensor senses movement of the device. The microcontroller records the sensed movement upon receiving the pressure signals, and processes the recorded movement to obtain track signals of handwritten information when the duration of not receiving the pressure signals exceeds a predetermined time interval. The track signals of handwritten information are then transmitted to an external electronic device communicating with the device to become handwriting shown on a display of the external electronic device.
Abstract:
An electronic device includes a chassis, an electronic component, a heat sink having a base and a thermal module. The chassis includes a bottom plate and a side plate surrounding the bottom plate. A cutout is defined in the side plate. The electronic component is arranged on the bottom plate and faces the cutout of the side plate. The base of the heat sink is arranged on the electronic component, and the thermal module is arranged on the base of the heat sink. The thermal module is assembled onto the base by extending through the cutout and can be taken out of the chassis through the cutout. The thermal module and the heat sink together dissipate heat generated by the electronic component when the thermal module is inserted into the chassis.
Abstract:
An apparatus for measuring distances includes a lens module, a light sensor, and a calculation module. The lens module is used for imaging an object to be measured. The lens module has a focal plane which is non-vertical to the light axis thereof. The light sensor is used for receiving the image of the object through the lens module, and generating a corresponding signal accordingly. The calculation module is used for calculating the distance of the object based on a high frequency part of the signal. A relative method for measuring distances is provided as well.

Abstract:
A system for modulating audio effects of speakers is provided. The system includes a selecting module, a playing module, a recording module, a time delay computing module and a modulating module. Based on these modules, the system is capable of determining a time difference and a pitch for each of the speakers, and modulating the time difference and the pitch for each of the speakers to a desired time difference and a desired pitch, so as to ensure that simultaneous sounds from each speaker arrive at a microphone at about the same time and with the same audio pitch. A related method is also provided.
Abstract:
A portable computer includes a first display, a second display, an interconnection portion, and a controller module. The interconnection portion rotatably connects the first and second displays to each other. At least one of the first and second displays is capable of sensing operations of users and generating sensor signals according to the operations. The controller module is used for driving the displays, and receiving the sensor signals.
Abstract:
A memory card module includes a first circuit board, and a second circuit board. On one surface of the first circuit board, there are flash memories and a controller. The second circuit board is installed at one end of the first circuit board and is electrically connected with the first circuit board so as to form a transmitting interface port. On a first surface of the second circuit board, there are a plurality of interface connecting points. On a second surface of the second circuit board, part of the second surface is hollowed out. A space formed between the hollowed out area and the corresponding first circuit board increases the area for circuit layouts and the mounting components for the first circuit board. Therefore, quantity of accommodated memory components may be increased so as to increase the total storage capacity of the memory card under limitation of small dimensions.
Abstract:
The present invention is a socket of card reader (I) for memory card with connecting terminals following specification of USB, which is a socket of card reader utilizing 4 pin USB (Universal Serial Bus) architecture for reading flash memory card with USB-compatible specification. The said socket of card reader is composed of a housing, a base, and 4 connecting terminals. Therefore, in comparison to the existing card reader that contains numerous connecting terminals, the present invention is apt to be implanted into related informational products. Besides, as the circuit architecture of USB connecting port is directly applied, the cost of developing new connecting architecture is thus saved.
