  • Patent number: 10820387
    Abstract: An embodiment of the disclosure provides a light source apparatus including a light-emitting module and a control unit. The light-emitting module is configured to provide a light. The control unit is configured to change proportion of a first sub-light and a second sub-light to form the light so that a circadian action factor (CAF) and a correlated color temperature (CCT) of the light varies along a CAF vs. CCT locus of the light different from a CAF vs. CCT locus of sunlight. A CAF vs. CCT coordinate of one of the first sub-light and the second sub-light is below the CAF vs. CCT locus of sunlight, and a CAF vs. CCT coordinate of the other one of the first sub-light and the second sub-light is above the CAF vs. CCT locus of sunlight. A display apparatus is also provided.

  • Patent number: 10759296
    Abstract: A charging apparatus for electric vehicle may comprise a charging apparatus and an electric vehicle. The charging apparatus has a rectifier and a mobile connector, and the connector covered by a plastic cover has a primary coil electrically connected to the rectifier. The cover comprises a vertical first plane, and a plurality of first engaging portions formed at an outer periphery of the cover. The electric vehicle has a converter, a battery pack and a charge port, and the charge port covered by a plastic shell comprises a secondary coil electrically connected to the converter. The charge port has a vertical second plane and at least a second engaging portion. When the first plane of the connector is coupled to the second plane of the charge port, the primary coil and the secondary coil are spaced apart by a fixed distance, thereby achieving the effect of safe charging.

  • Patent number: 9995443
    Abstract: A photovoltaic system includes a trailer, a solar panel, a battery, a lamppost, a turret, a shackle, a horizontal position-adjusting unit and an orientation-retaining unit. The trailer includes a cage supported on a chassis. The solar panel is supported on the cage. The battery is supported on the chassis and electrically connected to the solar panel. The lamppost includes a lamp supported thereon and electrically connected to the battery. The turret rotationally connects the lamppost to the chassis. The shackle is provided around the lamppost. The horizontal position-adjusting unit movably connects the shackle to the cage. The orientation-retaining unit retains the lamppost in a desired orientation relative to the shackle.

  • Patent number: 9661712
    Abstract: A lamp includes a light source in a top of a housing, the light source including a driver, a light emitting member electrically connected to the driver, and a dimming controller electrically connected to the driver wherein the driver is configured to activate the light emitting member after being activated by a signal sent from the dimming controller; and an electro-optical sensor in the top of the housing and electrically connected to the dimming controller wherein light emitted by the light emitting member is reflected to the electro-optical sensor, and the electro-optical sensor sends the sensed light to the dimming controller. The dimming controller compares intensity of the sensed light with intensity of the light emitted by the light emitting member, and the driver either decreases the intensity of the light output or increases same based on the comparison.
