  • Publication number: 20110006703
    Abstract: A light emitting diode (LED) illumination device utilizes a power transmission line to electrically connect a driving module and at least one LED lamp body. The driving module outputs a high frequency alternating power having above 30 voltages and above 72 Hz frequencies through frequency modulation. Each LED lamp body has at least one LED element and a rectification module. The high frequency alternating power generated from the driving module is modulated by the rectification module into a direct power to drive the LED element. Accordingly, the flicker phenomenon on the light source can be effectively improved, and the filter component installed inside each LED lamp body can be omitted. A simple circuit is used to reliably drive the LED element to achieve goals of rapidly developing products and saving costs.

  • Patent number: 7682264
    Abstract: A golf club head structure includes a body portion, a hitting plate portion, and a club body combining portion. The body portion has a first junction surface forming a first hook angle therewith. The hitting plate portion has a hitting surface and a second junction surface with a buffer region spaced there-between. The second junction surface forms a second hook angle with the hitting plate portion, and butts against and attaches to the first junction surface on the same plane. The club body combining portion is provided for combining a club body. Therefore, a joint structure with a junction portion as a plane, capable of not being located on the surface of the club head and spaced by a buffer region with the hitting surface, is formed, which is applicable for solving the combination problem of the junction surface on the same plane that the casting is deformed.
