SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR INDICATING A QUANTITY
An indication device is provided which has an electrically conductive fluid driven by an MHD pump. The fluid has an indicator surface driven adjacent indices of an indicator so as to indicate a quantity. A position of the indicator surface is sensed and controlled to ensure accurate indication of the quantity. Optionally, the quantity indicated is time.
DISPLAY DEVICE HAVING AUTOMATICALLY ALIGNED DISPLAY UNIT
The present invention relates to a display device having a rotatable display unit (12), the display device including: a display main body (10) having the display unit (12) for displaying various items of information; a rotary unit (20) combined with the display main body (10) and having a rotary weight (25) eccentric from the display main body (10); and a rotary base (30) combined with the display main body (10) or the rotary unit (20) to rotate relative to the display main body (10) or the rotary unit (20), in which the rotary unit (20) and the display main body (10) combined with the rotary unit (20) are rotated relative to the rotary base (30) and aligned in a predetermined direction by gravity acting on the rotary weight (25).
Timepiece
A timepiece includes a dial plate, and a solar battery which is disposed on a rear side of the dial plate. The dial plate is provided with grooves or ridges. The grooves or the ridges have portions where inclination angles with regard to a normal line of the dial plate are different, and due to this, light which is transmitted through the dial plate is incident from a plurality of directions with angles which are different with regard to the solar battery.
SMART WATCH
The present invention provides a smart watch, comprising a case and a bracelet. The smart watch further comprises: an electronic display, a pivot, hands and a rotatable pivot mounting member; the electronic display is provided with a through-hole at a specified location; the pivot is mounted inside the case and passes through the through-hole on the electronic display, a first end of the pivot that extends out from the back of the electronic display is connected to the pivot mounting member, the pivot is driven by the pivot mounting member to rotate about the axis when the pivot mounting member is rotating; a second end of the pivot that extends out from the front of the electronic display is equipped with the hands, the hands are driven by the pivot to rotate about the axis. Therefore, the smart watch comprises two output modes, electronic and mechanical, so it can greatly improve the richness of the output information without changing the size of the output interface of the smart watch, and thus complies with application requirements of smart watches.
TRAIN WHEEL HOLDING STRUCTURE AND TIMEPIECE
A train wheel holding structure includes a main plate, a train wheel bridge, a pointer hand wheel or a pointe wheel supported by the main plate and the train wheel bridge, and a rotation hand movement train wheel or a fan-shaped/sector hand movement train wheel driving the pointer hand wheel, the train wheel bridge includes support holes corresponding to different two positions to support the pointer hand wheel, and between the two support holes of the train wheel bridge, a bush supporting the pointer hand wheel or the pointer hand wheel without looseness is provided in the support hole or the support hole by which the pointer hand wheel or the pointer hand wheel is supported and the bush is not provided in the support hole or the support hole by which the pointer hand wheel or the pointer hand wheel is not supported.
Fabric that passes colonnaded light
A method for manufacturing fabric that passes colonnaded light is described herein. The method includes weaving a first yarn and a second yarn to create a woven fabric and weaving a light emitting yarn through the woven fabric, wherein the light emitting yarn creates a plurality of loops of light emitting yarn on at least one side of the woven fabric. The method also includes finishing the woven fabric to create columns of light emitting yarn throughout the fabric by removing the plurality of loops.
ELECTRONIC DEVICE
A novel electronic device is provided. Alternatively an electronic device of a novel embodiment is provided. An electronic device includes a support and a display portion. The support has a first curved surface. The display portion is provided over the support. The display portion has a top surface and a side surface in contact with at least one side of the top surface. The side surface has a second curved surface. The top surface includes a first display region. The side surface includes a second display region. The first display region and the second display region are continuously provided.

Indication device
An indication device is provided. The indication device includes an elongated fluid chamber containing at least one electrically conductive liquid driven by a pump for conductive liquids and an immiscible, relatively non-conductive fluid. At least one segment of at least one fluid is used as an indicator. This segment is driven by the pump along adjacent indices of an indicator visible to an observer using a meniscus location sensor and a feedback controller so as to e.g indicate a quantity to the observer.
