Abstract:
The embodiments described herein relate to methods, systems, and structures for cutting a part to form a highly reflective and smooth surface thereon. In some embodiments, the part includes substantially horizontal and vertical surfaces with edges and corners. In described embodiments, a diamond cutter is used to cut a surface of the part during a milling operation where the diamond cutter contacts the part a number of times with each rotation of the spindle of a milling machine. The diamond cutter has a cutting edge and a land. The cutting edge cuts the surface of the part and the land burnishes the surface of the part to form a highly reflective and smooth surface. Thus, the diamond cutter cuts and burnishes portions of the part, thereby eliminating a subsequent polishing step.
Abstract:
An affective model device and a method of deciding the behavior of an affective model device are provided. The affective model device has affective components representing trait, attitude, mood, emotion, and the like. The affective model device updates the emotion at regular time intervals or when a stimulus is received, and decides the behavior based on the updated emotion. The emotion may be updated depending on trait, attitude, and mood.
Abstract:
A method of operating an all-fiber-based ultra short pulse laser system is provided. The steps includes providing an all-fiber-based ultra short pulse laser system having a pulse pump light source, a fiber saturable absorber, an assistant light source, at least a dispersion fiber, and a light coupling output; generating a broadband ASE via the pulse pump light source; making the all-fiber-based ultra short pulse laser system switch passive mode locking via the fiber saturable absorber; decreasing the restoring period of the fiber saturable absorber via the assistant light source; providing dispersion compensation via the dispersion fiber to output an ultra short pulse; and partially outputting a laser passing through the all-fiber-based ultra short pulse laser system via the light coupling output.
Abstract:
A single-motor massager has a base, a carriage, a gear shaft assembly, a massager assembly and a motor. The base has two gear racks. The carriage is mounted movably on the base. The gear shaft assembly is mounted on the carriage and is mounted movably on the gear racks of the base. The massaging assembly is mounted on the carriage and connects to the gear shaft assembly. The motor drives the massaging assembly of the massager assembly to provide massaging function and to move the carriage and the gear shaft assembly and the massaging assembly along the base. With the two gear racks, the massaging assembly moves stably. With only one motor and the simplified gear shaft assembly and massager assembly, the manufacturing process of the massager is simplified and the cost of the massager is reduced.
Abstract:
Methods for channel scanning are provided. An embodiment of a method for channel scanning comprises scan progress information stored when interrupting a channel scanning process. A carrier RF subsequent to the most recently processed carrier RF is locked onto with reference to the stored scan progress information when resuming the interrupted channel scanning process. Channel information of a program carried by the locked carrier RF is acquired. The acquired channel information of the program is stored in a channel table.

Abstract:
A single-motor massager has a housing, a carriage and a lead threaded rod mounted in the housing, a guiding assembly, two transmission assemblies and a driving assembly mounted in the carriage, and two massage assemblies respectively driven by the transmission assemblies. The lead threaded rod has a right-handed thread and a left-handed thread so the carriage moves back and forth along the lead threaded rod and the massage assemblies can massage a large area of an operator's back. One of the transmission assembly has a one-way bearing so the carriage is able to stop at any position of the lead threaded rod and the massage assemblies are able to focus on a massage function at a specific position.
Abstract:
An optical fiber with filtering thin film includes a first ferrule having a first through hole and a first contact surface. A first fiber is disposed into the first through hole, extending to the first contact surface. A first interface coupling material is between the first ferrule and the first fiber. A second ferrule has a second through hole and a second contact surface. A second fiber is disposed into the second through hole, extending to the second contact surface. A second interface coupling material is between the second ferrule and the second fiber. The first contact surface and the second contact surface are parallel and have an included tilt angle from a perpendicular transverse plane of first fiber. An optical filtering film is disposed between the first contact surface and the second contact surface. The first fiber and the second fiber are aligned.
Abstract:
A rewritable phase change optical recording medium includes a substrate, a dielectric layer deposited on a surface of the substrate, and an optical recording layer deposited on the dielectric layer, wherein the dielectric layer may be omitted. The optical recording layer contains a composition of GexSb100-x-y-zMyEz, wherein 0.5≦x≦14.5; 0.5≦y≦14.5; 0≦z≦14.5; and M and E are different and are selected from the group consisting of Te, Cr, V, Ti, Ag, Sn, Si, Bi, Se, Al, Au, Ni, Fe, Cu, Mn, O, Ga, Cd, In, Pb and Hf, wherein M is not Te, when x is zero; and E is not Sn, when M is Te. The optical recording composition has a small crystal grain, a high ratio of reflectivity of the amorphous phase to that of the crystalline phase thereof, and a high crystallization rate, so that a blue light laser can be used to write/erase the recording medium.

Abstract:
A massage device has a platform, a motor assembly, a worm gear assembly, a rocker arm assembly and two rotation assemblies. The platform has two shoulder brackets. The motor assembly has a motor mounted on the platform and a worm mounted to the motor. The worm gear assembly is mounted on the platform and has two worm gears engaging with the worm shaft. The rocker arm assembly has two rocker arms. The rocker arms are mounted pivotally on a shoulder. Each rotation post assembly has an eccentric wheel, a spring and a top kneading head. The rocker arm and rotation assemblies provide multiple effective massages to different groups of muscles of a human body to mitigate the ache of the muscles.
