The are slidably attached to the base wall around the window for adjustably bracketing the touch panel therebetween.
Abstract:
A common voltage generating circuit of an LCD includes a first flip-flop, a capacitor, a resistor and a regulating circuit. The first flip-flop receives a data-loading signal from the LCD, for outputting a step signal. The step signal forms a waveform voltage through the capacitor and the resistor. The regulating circuit inverts the waveform voltage and adjusts the magnitude and the DC level of the waveform voltage, for generating a common voltage. Compare to the common voltage of the color filter base plate, the common voltage generated by the common voltage generating circuit have the same frequency and magnitude, but opposite direction. Therefore, by generating the common voltage of opposite direction, the present invention eliminates crosstalk and improves uneven brightness of the displayed image.
Abstract:
Vehicle collision management systems and methods for use in a first vehicle are provided. The system includes an information collection unit, an information filter, and a collision calculation unit. The information collection unit receives driving data corresponding to a second vehicle, wherein the driving data includes a position of the second vehicle, and a driving course and a velocity of the second vehicle. The information filter filters the driving data of the second vehicle according to the driving data of the second vehicle and the first vehicle. The collision calculation unit performs a collision management for the first vehicle according to the filtered driving data of the second vehicle and the first vehicle.
Abstract:
A light-emitting device includes a substrate, an n-type semiconductor layer, an active layer, and a p-type semiconductor layer; wherein the active layer is a multi-quantum-well (MQW) active layer with a predetermined n-type doping profile. More specifically, the MQW active layer is doped with n-type dopants in the region near the p-type semiconductor layer and the n-type semiconductor layer, and the central region is not doped with the n-type dopants.
Abstract:
A multimedia audio dock is provided to support a portable electronic device so that the portable electronic device can stand on a plane. The multimedia audio dock includes two retractable arms formed by a plurality of sleeved-through tubes so that the length of the two retractable arms can be varied to a predetermined length. A biaxial hinge providing two rotational axes is connected to the two retractable arms, so that the two retractable arms may rotate relative to each other about two rotational axes. Two speakers provided respectively at the ends of the two retractable arms opposite to the ends connected to the biaxial hinge. The speakers receive the audio signals and output sound. And the electronic device is held between the two speakers moved by the two retractable arms, so that the portable electronic device can stand on the plane.

Abstract:
A nursing system of the present invention can position where a person to be nursed through a sensor network widely deployed in an environment, instantaneously detect if the person to be nursed has an accident, and forward a message to inform a relative or medical staff. An autonomous robot will actively move beside the person to be nursed and transmit real-time images to a remote computer or PDA so that the relative or medical staff can swiftly ascertain the situation of the person to be nursed and the person to be nursed in case of emergency can be rescued as soon as possible.
Abstract:
The present invention concerns a method of promoting axonal regeneration. In particular, the invention concerns a method of promoting the growth or regeneration of neurons, and treating disease or conditions associated with the loss, loss of function or dysfunction of nerve cells, in particular thalamic nerve cells, by administering a polypeptide having a high degree of sequence identity with a native sequence Netrin G1 (NGL-1) or an agonist thereof.
