  • Patent number: 9845048
    Abstract: A car door opening pre-detection system for a car includes a first detecting module, a second detecting module and a control module. The first detecting module is installed within the car. The first detecting module issues a motion detecting signal according to a result of detecting a motion of a palm. The second detecting module is installed outside the car. When the car is stopped, the second detecting module is enabled to selectively provide a first detection range or a second detection range. The control unit judges whether a car door of the car is about to be opened according to the motion detecting signal. When the car is stopped and the control module judges that the car door is about to be opened, the second detecting module provides the second detection range to detect whether there is a moving object behind the car.

  • Publication number: 20160288474
    Abstract: A bonding state detection method is provided for detecting a bonding state of two substrates. Firstly, a first adhesive element, a second adhesive element, a first substrate and a second substrate are provided. The first adhesive element includes a sensing layer with a first sensing unit and a second sensing unit. After the first substrate and the second substrate are bonded together through the first adhesive element and the second adhesive element, a first resistance value of the first sensing unit and a second resistance value of the second sensing unit are detected. Then, according to the result of comparing the first resistance value with the second resistance value, the bonding state of the first adhesive element and the second adhesive element is judged. Consequently, the bonding state of the first substrate and the second substrate is realized.
