Abstract:
Adjust a backlight of a display device according to image loading and edge statistics of an input image. When the input image is a dark scene and includes relatively more edges, a luminance of the backlight would be controlled according to the image loading of the input image and compensated the backlight for showing details of the input image clearly. When the input image is a dark scene with negligible edges, the luminance of the backlight would be controlled by image loading with no or few compensation for lowering the power consumption. When the input image is a bright scene, or when the input image includes no edge or only negligible edges, minimum compensation is applied to the backlight for lowering the power consumption.
Abstract:
A output queuing method for forwarding the packets sequentially in a switching network. Each port is related to a port output queue and a global output queue is shared by all port output queues. A FIFO (First In First Out) block is allocated into each port output queue and the global output queue. The FIFO block contains a number of FIFO nodes. Based on the type and destination ports of the received packet, the fields of the related FIFO node in the port output queue and the global output queue are set. The packets are sent out or skipped based on the related fields.
Abstract:
A multifunction drill bit includes an outer shank including an outer lock head, an outer shank body, and an axial hole wherein spiral grooves are on the outer shank body; from a joining portion of the outer shank body and the outer lock head to the outer lock head, a threaded section, a deformable section, and a guide section are provided; each of the threaded and deformable sections include first external threads; the deformable section has outer curved grooves; a deformable concave surface is on an inner surface of the deformable section; and first internal threads are on the guide section; and an inner shank in the axial hole and including a top socket, an inner lock head, and an inner shank body. Second external threads are on an inner surface of the guide section corresponding to the first internal threads. A tip of the drill bit is replaceable.
Abstract:
An eccentric threaded fastener includes a bolt; and a fastening mechanism. The bolt includes a head and a threaded shank, the head including a plurality of positioning protrusions formed on a bottom. The fastening mechanism includes two opposite nuts disposed symmetrically along the threaded shank, the nut including a threaded hole for fitting around and securing to the threaded shank, and a frictional surface spirally extending out of one end of the threaded hole, the frictional surface and the threaded hole being co-axial. One end of threads of the threaded hole come into contact with an inner edge of the frictional surface. The frictional surface of one nut come into contact with that of the other nut to form the fastening mechanism with a gap formed between the nuts. A positioning pin is inserted into the gap to lock the nuts.
Abstract:
An expansion screw based fastening device includes an expansion screw, an internally threaded member, and a sleeve. The expansion screw includes a head having a plurality of positioning protrusions on a bottom; and a threaded shank. The internally threaded member includes a nut, a constriction member formed with the nut, and an internally threaded hole through both the nut and the constriction member with the threaded shank threadedly passing through. The sleeve includes a fitting member and a moveable hollow member with the fitting member partially disposed therein, the moveable hollow member including a hole for receiving the nut. The fitting member includes positioning members on an outer surface and urging against an inner surface of the hole, and a through hole including a fastening member having threads, and a joining member.

Abstract:
A detector for detecting and simultaneously diagnosing at least one subtype of human papilloma viruses (HPV) contained in a biological sample is provided. The detector comprises: a carrier, a plurality of micro-dots immobilized on the carrier, wherein each micro-dot is for identifying one particular HPV subtype, and the HPV subtype is one selected from a group consisting of 39 different HPV subtypes; and at least one oligonucleotide sequence contained in each the micro-dot that is specific to the one particular HPV subtype, wherein the at least one oligonucleotide sequence serves as a detection probe that hybridizes specifically with an L1 gene sequence of the one particular HPV subtype to form a hybridization complex as a detection indicator, so that each micro-dot identifies one particular HPV subtype via a corresponding oligonucleotide of the one particular HPV subtype, and thereby detecting and simultaneously identifying subtypes of human papilloma viruses.
Abstract:
Adjust a backlight of a display device according to image loading and edge statistics of an input image. When the input image is a dark scene and includes relatively more edges, a luminance of the backlight would be controlled according to the image loading of the input image and compensated the backlight for showing details of the input image clearly. When the input image is a dark scene with negligible edges, the luminance of the backlight would be controlled by image loading with no or few compensation for lowering the power consumption. When the input image is a bright scene, or when the input image includes no edge or only negligible edges, minimum compensation is applied to the backlight for lowering the power consumption.
