Abstract: A grid structure in a pixel array may be at least partially angled or tapered toward a top surface of the grid structure such that the width of the grid structure approaches a near-zero width near the top surface of the grid structure. This permits the spacing between color filter regions in between the grid structure to approach a near-zero spacing near the top surfaces of the color filter regions. The tight spacing of color filter regions provided by the angled or tapered grid structure provides a greater surface area and volume for incident light collection in the color filter regions. Moreover, the width of the grid structure may increase at least partially toward a bottom surface of the grid structure such that the wider dimension of the grid structure near the bottom surface of the grid structure provides optical crosstalk protection for the pixel sensors in the pixel array.

The MCU is configured for controlling the gate to adjust the water flow based on environmental information related to the piece of land.

Abstract: A fixing assembly includes a fixing frame, a fixing member, and a fastening member. The fixing frame includes a frame body and a guiding wall portion. The frame body is disposed between a circuit board and a heatsink. The guiding wall portion is connected to the frame body and has an elongated hole. The thicknesses of the guiding wall portion are reduced toward the frame body. The fixing member abuts against the guiding wall portion and is located over the heatsink. The fixing member has a screw hole communicated with the elongated hole. The fastening member is fastened to the screw hole via the elongated hole. The fastening member is retained by the elongated hole to move relative to the guiding wall portion along the elongated hole, so as to move the fixing member toward or away from the heatsink.
