  • Patent number: 10782150
    Abstract: A direction sensor includes two electrode guides, at least six contact pins, a moving member and a signal processing circuit. The two electrode guides are formed with a gap. The two electrode guides and the at least six contact pins define a space. The moving member is restricted to move in the space. The two electrode guides are electrically connected to one signal terminal of the signal processing circuit, respectively, and the at least six contact pins are electrically connected to another signal terminal of the signal processing circuit, respectively. A direction is sensed after the moving member moves in the space according to a sensed direction and contacts with the contact pin corresponding to the sensed direction below, so that one of the electrode guides and the contact pin corresponding to the sensed direction below form a sensing signal loop through the moving member.

  • Patent number: 8087804
    Abstract: An illuminating device comprises a heat sink, at least one light emitting module and a speaker. The heat sink has a first containing space, a second containing space and a first channel being in communication with the first containing space and the second containing space. The light emitting module is arranged in the first containing space and contacted with the heat sink. The speaker comprising a thin film is arranged in the second containing space. When the speaker is in operation, the thin film vibrates so that a first airflow from the second containing space to the first containing space through the first channel is formed. In the above-mentioned illuminating device, the vibration of the thin film of the speaker causes air in the first containing space to flow, and the heat dissipation efficiency of the illuminating device is improved.

  • Publication number: 20040198384
    Abstract: A mobile communications device integrating positioning function and a method for displaying positioning information in real time thereof are proposed, wherein a mobile phone and a receiver for receiving satellite signals are connected and assembled together. The receiver is connected to a connection interface of the mobile phone. The receiver has a GPS module and a microprocessor therein. The receiver receives digital data emitted by satellites through the GPS module. The microprocessor converts the received digital data into data of positioning parameters, which are transmitted to the mobile phone. A user thus can directly know coordinates and information of his position in real time from the screen of the mobile phone, hence accomplishing satellite positioning function with a lower cost.

  • Patent number: 6725102
    Abstract: An automatic operation system provides a CPU to detect and record a status of operation for the operated mechanism. As soon as a response is to be output for allowing the operated mechanism to perform a operation, the CPU figures out corresponding responses by way of a statistic analysis based on past record of operation status as a reference for the operator. Thus, an operation is simplified or a response is output automatically so as to allow the operated mechanism processing itself.
