  • Publication number: 20130235286
    Abstract: A real-time auto-dimming safety lens device is adapted to assemble a dimmable lens, position various and fix a light sensor, controller and power supply, where the controller receives accurate visible-light illumination signals from a light sensor immediately and calculates the best transmittance or color of a dimmable lens, controls the transmittance or color of the environmental visible light penetrating the dimmable lens immediately and accurately so as to allow human's eyes to reach the farthest visible distance, be in the most comfortable state, and get the clearest environment scene. Therefore, a user can use the real-time auto-dimming safety lens device of the present invention to allow the user's eyes to reach the farthest visible distance, be in the most comfortable state, and get the clearest scene while the use locates in a particular environment (e.g. raining day, fogginess, snowfield).

  • Patent number: 8107423
    Abstract: A real-time positioning system, a real-time positioning method, and a device containing computer software are provided. The system includes a coordinator and at least one router. The coordinator carries out a signal interconnection with each router of a first layer via an omni-directional antenna, and calculates an initial distance according to the strength of the signal interconnection. Then, the coordinator carries out a signal interconnection with the router via a plurality of directional antennas respectively to analyze an initial direction of the router of the first layer according to the strength of the signal interconnection with each of the directional antennas and corrects the initial direction according to the slope angle of the coordinator, so as to position the router of the first layer according to the initial distance and the initial direction. Each router positions each router of the next layer in the same manner as the coordinator.

  • Patent number: 6806840
    Abstract: A patch antenna and the related applications are disclosed. The patch antenna includes a radiating metal plate; a metal supporting plate; and a metal fixed plate, wherein the radiating metal plate is round shape with a stripe-shape opening. When the patch antenna is operated at 5.25 GHz, good radiation pattern and antenna gain are provided to cover the bandwidth utilized in Industrial-Scientific-Medical (ISM) band. Moreover, the present invention uses the arrangement of antenna diversity to install two antennas on a base board at the same time, thereby obtaining better antenna performance.
