Patent number: 7859710Abstract: An apparatus for scanning a photograph with PictBridge capability is provided, which includes a light source, an image sensor, a signal converter, a PictBridge encoder, and a universal serial bus (USB) controller. The light source projects a scanning light onto an object to be scanned. Upon contacting with the object to be scanned, the scanning light is reflected as a reflected light. The image sensor receives the reflected light and then transmits an image signal to the signal converter to be converted into a digital image data. The digital image signal is encoded by the PictBridge encoder to a direct-printing code. Finally, the USB controller encodes the direct-printing code into a universal serial bus signal and transmits to a printer via a USB wire, so as to print the image by the printer.Type: GrantFiled: January 31, 2007Date of Patent: December 28, 2010Inventor: Wei-Hsiang Liao

Publication number: 20070210207Abstract: A flying wing rotation mechanism of a micro air vehicle is driven under a control of a power module and a detent member. The flying wing rotation mechanism of a micro air vehicle includes a flapping arm and a flying wing. The flapping arm is connected to the detent member, and swings as the power module drives the detent member. An end of the flying wing is pivoted to the flapping arm. When the flapping arm swings, the flying wing swings with the flapping arm in sync. When swing direction of the flapping arm changes, the flying wing rotates relative to an axial direction of the flapping arm.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 15, 2007Publication date: September 13, 2007Inventor: Wei-Hsiang LIAO
