  • Patent number: 6760773
    Abstract: The present invention relates to an infrared transmission protocol and more particularly to an infrared transmission protocol for wireless keyboard and PC remote controller. The transmission codes are grouped into four parts—key codes for keyboard, button codes for remote controller, mouse codes for keyboard, and mouse codes for remote controller. Key codes for keyboard are used to identify the MAKE and BREAK of keys on wireless keyboard. Button codes for remote controller are used to identify the MAKE and BREAK of buttons on PC remote controller. Mouse codes for keyboard and remote controller are defined separately. They are used to identify action of pointing devices on wireless keyboard and PC remote controller. Transmission codes are encoded into the RS232 format and transmitted through infrared wave at the baud rate of 1200. Each key packet for keyboard consists of two data-units. Each mouse packet for keyboard and each button and mouse packet for PC remote controller consist of three data-units.

    Abstract: A fluorescent material with formula(YxMyCez)Al5O12, where x+y=3, x, y≠0, 0<z<0.5, M is selected from the group consisting of Tb, Lu, and Yb. The fluorescent material has a host (YxMy)Al5O12 and an activator: Ce. By changing the composition of metals in the host, the crystal field thereof can be modulated, thereby altering the interaction force between the activator and the other components, and changing the wavelength of emitted colors. The present invention provides a white light-emitting device comprising a light emitting diode and above-mentioned. fluorescent powder. The LED emits purple-blue or blue light having a domination wavelength &lgr;D range from 430 nm to 500 nm. The fluorescent powder is excited by the purple-blue or blue. light emitted from-the LED to generate green-yellow light to orange-yellow light having a wavelength range from 560 nm to 590 nm and mixed with the light of LED to form white light.
