20130329300 | FABRICATION METHOD OF MICROLENS ARRAY AND MICROLENS ARRAY THEREOF - The present invention discloses a fabrication method of a microlens array (MLA) and an MLA fabricated using the same. The fabrication method of an MLA comprises: providing a substrate with an interface hydrophilic modified polymer layer; using light, gas or liquid with the property of converting the polymer' hydrophilicity to create a hydrophilic zone on the interface hydrophilic modified polymer layer; coating the substrate with a liquid material to condense a plurality of liquid microlenses in the hydrophilic zone; and curing the plurality of liquid microlenses to form a plurality of microlenses. Therefore, the fabrication method of an MLA has advantages of fast speed, low cost, no etch transfer and low temperature. | 12-12-2013 |
20130317564 | SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR TREATING A NERVE SYMPTOM - An implantable electrical stimulation system for treating a nerve symptom, the system comprising an implantable device. The implantable devices includes a wave generator that is operable to generate a signal wave and a white noise, mix the signal wave and the white noise, and produce an electrical stimulating signal. The system further comprises an electrode unit located in close proximity to a target nerve and is operable to provide the electrical stimulating signal to the nerve. The system further comprises an external controlling device. | 11-28-2013 |

20130314406 | METHOD FOR CREATING A NAKED-EYE 3D EFFECT - The present invention relates to a method for creating a naked-eye effect, and particularly relates to a method for creating a naked-eye effect without requiring a display hologram, special optical film, or 3D glasses. This method includes following steps: (1) detecting rotating angle or moving position of a portable device by a detecting unit; (2) creating a new image of an object shown in a display according to the rotating angle or moving position of the portable device by an image processing unit; and (3) displaying the new image of the object in the display instead of the original image of the object. By this method, a different image of the same object with different visual angles is displayed at different times, and it lets the brain of a person consider that the image of the object is a 3D image. Therefore, a naked-eye effect can be created. | 11-28-2013 |
