Abstract: A multi-point image labeling method adopts an image labeling device to label an object pixel matrix containing image data and makes adjacent array elements with image data have an identical image label value. Next, the image labeling device provides a multi-point label window, which designates a non-zero temporary labeled value to store in the register according to the temporary labeled value of the adjacent array elements. Next, the image labeling device provides a label-equivalence window, which generates label-equivalence information according to the adjacent temporary labeled values. Next, an equivalent-substitution processing process is performed on the temporary labeled values according to the label-equivalence information to generate label-equivalence substitution information. Then, the temporary labeled values are replaced according to the label-equivalence substitution information to obtain the resultant image labeled values and complete the image labeling of the object pixel matrix.

Abstract: An energy converting device having an eccentric rotor includes a fixed portion and an eccentric rotor. This fixed portion has a central axis, an outer frame, and several fixed coil portions. The eccentric rotor has a bearing, a rotatory shaft, an eccentric arm, an eccentric shaft portion, a supporting plate, an inner annular magnetic portion, and an outer annular magnetic portion. The inner magnetic portion and the outer magnetic portion are concentric and aligned with the eccentric shaft portion. The eccentric shaft portion is offset from the rotary shaft. When the rotary shaft of the eccentric rotor rotates, these fixed coil portions cut through the inner magnetic portion and the outer magnetic portion repeatedly, so magnetic flux passing through the coils alternates accordingly to generate electromotive force. Conversely, it can be used as an electric motor. In addition, it can be integrated with a cycloidal speed reducer to form a motor with speed reduction and torque augmentation capability.

Abstract: An apparatus for reducing laser speckle cooperates with a laser light source and comprises a light guide tube and a vibration element coupled on the light guide tube. The light guide tube includes an input member corresponding to the laser light source, an output member far away from the laser light source, and a chamber allowing a laser beam which is emitted by the laser light source to perform total reflection inside. The vibration element is arranged at a region between the input member and the output member to drive the light guide tube to vibrate reciprocally along a direction not parallel to the axis of the light guide tube. The vibration element controls the light guide tube to perform swift, reciprocal and high-frequency vibration to destroy coherence of the laser beam. Thus the laser beam can be output uniformly to avoid laser speckles caused by light interference.

Abstract: An electric generator with a transverse magnetic field has an enclosing unit, a rotor unit and a stator unit. The rotor unit is mounted in the enclosing unit and has multiple pairs of permanent magnets. The stator unit has multiple magnetizers. Each magnetizer is wound around by a winding, and has two magnetizing blocks oppositely mounted on two ends of the magnetizer to correspond to a corresponding pair of permanent magnets.

As having multiple magnetizers and multiple windings, the stator unit can increase a total magnetic flux passing therethrough for the electric generator to generate more power.
