20110148804Multi-touch Command Detecting Method for Surface Capacitive Touch Panel - For overcoming a defect that a conventional surface capacitive touch panel is not capable of determining more than two touch points so that the surface capacitive touch panel is not capable of determining any multi-touch commands, a type of a multi-touch command is determined by detecting relative movements between touch points and corresponding intermediate points on the surface capacitive touch panel, where the relative movements may be indicated by relative distances or relative directions. Therefore, a bottleneck that the surface capacitive touch panel cannot be used for detecting a type of a multi-touch command may be overcome, and the surface capacitive touch panel may be widely applied for touch panels required to detect multi-touch commands.06-23-2011

20120103967Burn-in oven having inverter fan and heat regulator - A burn-in oven having an inverter fan and a heat regulator includes a housing, a frame, a heater, a temperature sensor, an inverter fan, and a control unit. The housing includes an air-in port and an air-out port. The frame is fixedly arranged inside the housing, and is divided into a variety of partitions. In addition, the heater and the temperature sensor are also fixedly arranged inside the housing. The inverter fan is provided for supplying a forced air-flow toward inside of the housing. The control unit is electrically connected with the temperature sensor, the heater, and the inverter fan. The control unit is provided for controlling the temperature inside the housing not to exceed a predetermined value. Thereby, the present invention saves energy and shortens effectively the time required for burn-in temperature rising and lowering, and saves working hours and manpower as well.05-03-2012
