When a document is transferred through the sheet feeding channel to trigger said first sensing arm or the document is transferred through the inverting channel to trigger the second sensing arm, the electronic sensor generates a sensing signal.

Abstract: A scissors-type connecting member includes an inner frame and an outer frame. The inner frame includes a pivot rod. The pivot rod includes a curved edge and two flat slant surfaces. The outer frame includes a pivot hole, an entrance, and a guiding surface. The pivot hole has a flat bottom surface. The entrance is located beside the pivot hole. The guiding surface is disposed under the entrance. For assembling the scissors-type connecting member, the pivot rod of the inner frame is moved into the pivot hole along the guiding surface. When the inner frame is rotated relative to the outer frame, the two flat slant surfaces of the pivot rod are respectively stopped by the bottom surface of the pivot hole and the guiding surface. Consequently, a rotating angle of the inner frame relative to the outer frame is limited.

Abstract: A spacing interval control method is used in a sheet laminating apparatus for controlling a constant spacing interval between any two adjacent ones of multiple documents. The sheet laminating apparatus includes an automatic document feeding mechanism and a sheet laminating mechanism. By means of multiple sensors within the automatic document feeding mechanism, multiple documents are successively transported from the automatic document feeding mechanism to the sheet laminating mechanism at a constant spacing interval between any two adjacent ones of multiple documents. As a consequence, the documents after being heated or pressed by the sheet laminating mechanism will be cut into multiple separate and identical-sized laminated documents.

Abstract: A sheet processing device includes a supporting plate, a stapler, a casing, a protrusion structure, and a swinging arm. The casing is disposed over the supporting plate. A sheet conveying channel is formed between the supporting plate and the casing. The protrusion structure is disposed on a lower surface of the casing, located beside the stapler and accommodated within the sheet conveying channel. During the process of introducing a sheet into the supporting plate, the stapled side of the sheet is flattened by the protrusion structure, and thus the possibility of upturning the sheet is minimized. During the process of introducing the plural sheets to the stapler, the stapled sides of the plural sheets are flattened by the protrusion structure, and thus the formation of the folded corners of the sheets is avoided.

Abstract: The input device with luminous patterns includes an input interface and a backlight module. The backlight module includes a light source and a light guide plate. The input interface has a predetermined light shading rate and at least one pattern formed on the light guide plate. When the light source is turned off, the light passing through the light guide plate is too weak to show the pattern. When the light source is turned on, the luminous pattern is shown. One base plate of the input interface is made from a mixture of transparent plastic particles and light shading particles, and the at least one pattern is formed of the micro light guide structures.

Abstract: A sheet-feeding type scanning apparatus with a calibrating function is provided. The sheet-feeding type scanning apparatus is configured for feeding a document in a first direction and scanning the document, thereby acquiring an image of the document. The sheet-feeding type scanning apparatus includes a calibration plate, a scanning module, and a transmission module. The transmission module is connected with the scanning module for moving the scanning module in a second direction perpendicular to the first direction. In such way, the scanning module is movable within the limited space of the sheet-feeding type scanning apparatus, so that the scanning module is dynamically calibrated.

Abstract: A touch input device with a button function is provided. The touch input device includes a touch module, a triggering switch, a coupling module, and plural movable pads. The plural movable pads are disposed on the coupling module. The coupling module is disposed on the touch module. In addition, the coupling module may be swung relative to the touch module. When the touch module is depressed, the coupling module is pushed by the plural movable pads. Consequently, the coupling module is swung to push the triggering switch that is disposed over the coupling module. Since the plural movable pads are directly disposed on the coupling module, the force to push the triggering switch is directly transmitted from the plural movable pads to the coupling module. Under this circumstance, the touch input device can provide an enhanced tactile feel to the user.

Abstract: A hot laminating apparatus includes a first pressing roller, a second pressing roller, a first heating element, and a first bimetallic structure. The first bimetallic structure is arranged between the first heating element and the first pressing roller. The first heating element is used for providing heat energy to the first pressing roller. As the ambient temperature changes, the first bimetallic structure is subjected to deformation to allow the first heating element to be away from the first pressing roller or allow the first heating element to be close to the first pressing roller.

Abstract: A duplex scanning apparatus and a sheet-feeding control method thereof are provided. The duplex scanning apparatus includes a sheet feeding channel, a sheet transfer channel, an inverting channel, and a sheet sensing module. A first end of the inverting channel is connected to a junction between said sheet feeding channel and the sheet transfer channel. A second end of the inverting channel is connected to the sheet transfer channel. A distance between the sheet sensing module and the first end of the inverting channel is greater than a distance between the sheet sensing module and the second end of the inverting channel. When a document is transferred through the sheet sensing module at the second time, a next document is fed into the sheet feeding channel through a sheet entrance.

Abstract: An automatic document feeder includes an upper cover, a pick-up arm, a restriction element, and a document stopper. The pick-up arm is movable between a first position and a second position. A rotating shaft of the restriction element is pivotally coupled to the pick-up arm. A rotating shaft of the document stopper is pivotally coupled to the upper cover. Moreover, the rotating shaft of the restriction element and the rotating shaft of the document stopper are not in parallel with each other. When the pick-up arm is located at the first position, a swinging action of the document stopper is limited by the restriction element. When the pick-up arm is located at the second position, the swinging action of the document stopper is no longer limited by the restriction element, so that the document stopper can be freely swung.

Abstract: A keycap structure includes a reinforcement element and a keycap body. The reinforcement element includes two long segments and two short segments. The keycap body includes plural fixing parts and two protruding parts. The plural fixing parts are used for fixing two ends of each long segment of the reinforcement element. The two protruding parts are used for pushing the two short segments of the reinforcement element, so that the reinforcement element is subjected to deformation. Consequently, the reinforcement element generates a reacting force to push against the bilateral sides of the keycap body. Under this circumstance, the top surface of the keycap body is formed as a downwardly-concave arc-shaped surface, so that the shape of the keycap structure is effectively corrected.

Abstract: A method for establishing a wireless connection between an electronic device and a computer host is provided. Firstly, a near field communication between a NFC reader of the computer host and a NFC tag of the electronic device is performed. Then, a Bluetooth wireless communication between the electronic device and the computer host is performed, and the NFC tag is disabled. Consequently, the NFC tag is not repeatedly read by the NFC reader. In other words, the use of the electronic device is more convenient.

Abstract: A wireless heat generation device includes an antenna, a controller, a heating element, and a temperature sensor. The antenna is used for receiving a radio wave and converting the radio wave into electric energy. The controller is used for receiving the electric energy and providing an electric power to the heating element. After the electric power is received by the heating element, the electric power is converted into heat. The temperature sensor is used for sensing a temperature within the wireless heat generation device. If the temperature reaches a preset temperature, the controller stops providing the electric power to the heating element. Consequently, the possibility of causing an overheating problem of the wireless heat generation device will be eliminated.

The circuit board is fixed between the upper cover and the lower cover. The first switch and the second switch are disposed on a bottom surface of the circuit board. The triggering element is pivotally coupled to the lower cover and protruded through a bottom side of the lower cover. When a first side or a second side of the upper cover is depressed, the upper cover, the lower cover and the circuit board are rotated relative to the triggering element. Consequently, the first switch or the second switch is correspondingly triggered.

Abstract: A mouse device includes a case member, a battery storage box for accommodating a battery, and a ring-shaped cover. The battery storage box is disposed within the case member. Moreover, the battery storage box has an entrance. The entrance is formed in a sidewall of the battery storage box. The ring-shaped cover is connected with the case member from a rear side and a bottom side of the case member for covering the entrance. Due to the structure of the ring-shaped cover, the mouse device has no rotating shaft at the rear end of the case member. Consequently, the length of the case member of the present mouse device is shorter, and the overall volume of the present mouse device is reduced.

Abstract: A mouse device includes a base and a displacement sensing device. The displacement sensing device includes a light-emitting element, an optical assembly, and an optical sensing element. When the mouse device is moved, a light beam emitted by the light-emitting element is transferred through the optical assembly to be received by the optical sensing element. Consequently, the optical sensing element generates a cursor displacement signal. The optical assembly is integrally formed with the base, and there is no gap between the optical assembly and the base. If electrostatic discharge occurs in the external environment of the mouse device, the electrostatic discharge fails to be introduced into the mouse device.

In a case that the first supporting member and the second supporting member are rotated to the supporting portion, an electronic device can be supported. Whereas, in a case that the first supporting member and the second supporting member are rotated to the storing position, the first supporting member and the second supporting member are respectively stored within two receiving spaces of the base. The electronic device supporting mechanism is advantageous for protecting the supporting components and is easily carried.

The first encapsulated transmission coil and the second encapsulated transmission coil are disposed in the main body, and the second encapsulated transmission coil is adjacent to the first encapsulated transmission coil. Each of the first encapsulated transmission coil and the second encapsulated transmission coil has a quadrangular winding configuration so that the magnetic flux generated at the short-side section of the first or second encapsulated transmission coil is greater than the magnetic flux generated by an encapsulated transmission coil having a circular winding configuration. Therefore, the wireless charging range of the wireless transmitting device for wireless charging is improved.

Abstract: A luminous keyboard includes a lateral-emitting type illumination element, a light guide panel, a sensing circuit pattern, a light-transmissible supporting plate, and plural keys. The lateral-emitting type illumination element is used for providing a light beam to the light guide panel. Consequently, the light beam can be diffused to the whole light guide panel. The light guide panel has plural light-guiding dots for collecting and scattering the light beam. The light-transmissible supporting plate is arranged between the light guide panel and the plural keys, and has plural light diffusion structures corresponding to the plural keys. The light beam scattered upwardly by each light-guiding dot is sequentially transmitted through the corresponding light diffusion structure and directed to the corresponding key. When one of the keys is moved toward the sensing circuit pattern, the sensing circuit pattern generates a corresponding non-contact key signal.
