DETAILS DESCRIPTION

From the parent filing cases of the above listed. This application is Continuously filing for U.S. Ser. No. 12/502,661, U.S. Ser. No. 12/292,580, U.S. Ser. No. 12/566,322, U.S. Ser. No. 11/498,874, U.S. Ser. No. 11/527,629, U.S. Ser. No. 12/622,000, U.S. Ser. No. 12/624,621 which disclosured the sealed-unit with uniform dimension of shape to fit into the same uniform dimension of compartment to put the universal sealed-unit fit into variety of LED light device. This invention has more features and functions and effects to allow the people to buy any electric device or digital data devices has more practically additional functions, features, convenient including has the outlet-unit(s) to supply the 1^st or more different electric power to other device(s) or has USB-unit(s) to supply the 2^nd or more different electric power to other device(s). The current invention use universal module which can has any combination of following parts or accessories to make the said preferred module selected from group combination from related circuit-means, conductive-means, contact-means, receiving-means, output-ends, input-ends, electric parts and accessories, prong means, rotating means, cable means with plug, cable means with USB-plug, printed circuit means, Flexible printing circuit means, wires, cable, digital data cable, conductive plate, or any related electric parts or accessories available from market place so can get the electric power from the prong-cable means or USB-Cable means or prong means or USB means to the outlet-unit's or USB-Unit's receiving-means and let variety of electric device(s) get the said power.

The said Universal Module which equivalent or same function as other copending filing for the said “Sealed-unit” for the “LED light device” such as the co-inventor's issued U.S. Pat. No. 7,726,839, U.S. Pat. No. 7,726,841, U.S. Pat. No. 7,726,869, U.S. Pat. No. 7,618,150, U.S. Pat. No. 1,722,230 and Co-pending case U.S. Ser. No. 12/073,889, U.S. Ser. No. 12/894,865, U.S. Ser. No. 12/003,809 or the said “Outlet device” such as Co-inventors U.S. Pat. No. 7,824,185 which the “Sealed-Unit is a outlet-unit”. Further more the said “Sealed-unit or Battery-Pack” of the co-inventor's co-pending case U.S. Ser. No. 12/622,000 and above listed related parent filing cases some has the concept of the “Interchangeable power source which also is said the Sealed-unit”.

From FIG. S, The current invention has the (A) shown the Universal Module which has the USB-unit has cable with USB-plug which has build-in 2 USB-Unit(s) and 2 Rotatable Outlet-units to form a Universal module. The each USB-unit has pre-determined power output though inner build-in circuit and related parts and accessories. The said 2 Rotatable Outlet-units which same as the details drawing of U.S. Pat. No. 7,824,185 drawing sheet page 5+6+7+8 (not attached) to disclosure how to make the said Outlet-unit can be rotating.

Form FIG. S drawing B can see the Universal Module has same function as drawing A, but different is the USB-unit has the cable with prong-plug.

From FIG. S, drawing C show the same function as drawing A and B but the this use the wall prong means to get the power directly from Plug the prong means into outlet without the cable like drawing A or drawing B.

From FIG. S drawing D and drawing E and drawing F show the different input end of the said Universal Module so can meet all market requirement such as drawing D show the cigarette plug so can allow people to get power while they driving, drawing E show the other power source such as solar power, wind power, chemical power, generator, transformer, solar module, USB-means, or other any kind of power source with any other market available power deliver-method or means still fall within the current invention scope.

From FIG. S drawing G, H, I, J, K, show the all different combination for the outlet-unit(s) and USB-unit(s) from 1 to N number with desired power In-put and Power output which discussed above as point (9).

From FIG. S drawing Q, R, K which has more than one outlet-unit(s) which can selected one of the outlet-unit as Master and it will turn-on or turn-off other outlets basing on the said THE ONE MASTER Outlet. This is very good function for any computer system. For example, while turn on Computer, the related printer, scanner, hub, USB-hard disc, speaker, reading light, hard-disc, other computer related parts and accessories to turn-on and turn-off while main master outlet-unit been activated.

From FIG. S drawing Q, R, K while the Wall prong means change to the said Cable-with-plug or Cable-with-USB plug which means it is a traditional Extension cord for 120 Volt 60 Hz or USB-Port power cord which will be same function or equivalent function with the drawing Q, R, K, so it has cable or without cable for power strips (Power cord) or Wall direct plug in (Wall outlet) still fall within the current invention scope. It is appreciated for this equivalent or same functions means.

From FIG. S drawing L, M, N, Q, R disclosure the different application for the said Universal Module with any desired combination of USB-unit(s) or Outlet-unit(s) for variety electric device(s) or digital data device(s) including indoor, outdoor such as desk lamp, wall adaptor, wall outlet, extension cord or any other electric device(s) or digital data device(s). The major difference between the current invention v.s. all market available device(s) are at the current invention has got the all related safety certification for said the Universal Module so can directly add the Universal Module into any existing electric device(s) or digital data device(s) and no need to file other UL, CSA, ETL or any laboratory test while move into product into market.

The said Universal Module has its very important feature to get the all related safety certification and can instant add into all existing device key at the the said module have the one output-end which can connect with existing product's power input-end, so allow the existing power input-end can connect with the Universal output-end, so it is very simple to add the said Universal Module into any existing electric device(s) or digital data device(s) to save a lot of time, money, procedure, application, human resource to file the related safety standard by individual products.

This is the Key issues.

From The above discussion the current invention has the fatal improvement including:

At least one Universal Module has desired combination for outlet-unit(s) or USB-Unit(s) build-in with desired power-out-put end(s) and power-in-put end (s) to get the power or supply the power to the other electric device(s) or digital data device(s).
