  • Publication number: 20080037260
    Abstract: The invention provides an illuminant device for a projecting system. The illuminant device includes an illuminant unit, a diffusing element, and a concave mirror. The illuminant unit has a plurality of illuminants which are closely disposed. The diffusing element has an incident surface opposite to the illuminant unit and an emergent surface for a diffused light radiating therefrom. The concave mirror has a reflective surface used for condensing at least a part of the light radiated by the illuminant unit on the incident surface of the diffusing element.

  • Publication number: 20080007403
    Abstract: The invention is to provide a home security system capable of linking to an external communication network. N terminals are capable of linking to the external communication network. The home security system includes M sensing units and a coordinator. Each of the M sensing units includes a sensor and a transmitting module. The coordinator includes a receiving module, a storage device, a communication module, and a processor. The receiving module receives a trigger signal from one of the M transmitting modules. The processor receives the trigger signal received from the receiving module and transmitted by the transmitting module. The processor accesses a contact rule corresponding to the transmitting module, and transmits, according to the accessed contact rule, information to the terminal corresponding to the accessed contact rule through the communication module and over the external communication network.

  • Patent number: 7295379
    Abstract: An LED light converging system includes an LED light source, and first and second lens units aligned in sequence along an optical axis. The LED light source provides source light. The first lens unit has a first focal length, and is disposed forwardly of and is spaced apart from the LED light source by a first distance less than the first focal length such that a virtual image of the source light provided by the LED light source is formed rearwardly of the LED light source. The second lens unit has a second focal length, is disposed forwardly of the first lens unit, and is spaced apart from the virtual image of the source light by a second distance larger than the second focal length such that a real image of the source light provided by the LED light source is formed forwardly of the second lens unit.
