  • Patent number: 7677782
    Abstract: An LED flat lamp including a housing with a light-emitting area at the bottom thereof. The internal side thereof undergoes a reflexion treatment. At least one LED is disposed within the housing. A power connector is extended from the LED to the outside. The LED is installed on a circuit board. A light guide plate is installed at one side of the LED within the housing. The light exit side of the light guide plate is provided with a microstructure for a uniform light exit. Moreover, an optical film unit is attached to the bottom of the light guide plate such that the light-emitting area of the housing is covered with the optical film unit. The optical film unit consists of one or several brightness enhancement films and one or several diffusers. In this way, the problem of glaring light directly emitted by the prior art is resolved. The LED flat lamp in accordance with the invention can emit a non-glaring light and can be modularized into a standardized product.

  • Publication number: 20090322539
    Abstract: A monitoring apparatus includes a process unit, a sensor unit, a transmission unit and an illuminator unit. The sensor unit for detecting moving approaching objects is electrically connected to the process unit to send signals to the process unit. The transmission unit is electrically connected to the process unit for receiving signals from the process unit and adapted to be connected to a backend central control system for transmitting signals from the process unit to the backend central control system. The backend central control system sends a mode signal to the process unit via the transmission unit. The illuminator unit is electrically connected to the process unit and is controlled by orders from the process unit when the process unit determines status based on signals from the sensor unit and the mode signal.

  • Publication number: 20080174081
    Abstract: The present invention provides a pushcart having a rotatable push bar disposed between a first support strut and a second support strut as well as a plurality of braking assemblies connecting to the push bar. By applying a force on the push bar, the braking assemblies release wheels disposed below a base plate, thereby moving the pushcart. On the contrary, by releasing the push bar, the braking assemblies stop the wheels, thereby stopping the pushcart. When not using the pushcart, the push bar and the base plate are folded and stored, thereby saving storage space and enhancing convenience.

  • Patent number: 7377682
    Abstract: A backlight module includes a frame (55) including a spring element (556), a light guide plate (56) disposed in the frame including an incident surface (561), and a radiation element (59) being pressed onto the incident surface by the spring element. The spring element presses the radiation elements against the light guide plate, and thereby decreases the distance and angle between the radiation elements and the light guide plate. This improves the brightness and uniformity of the emitting luminance of the backlight module.

  • Publication number: 20070029051
    Abstract: A winding device for a blind without pull cords is provided with a reel pivotal base and a cord-guiding base abutting against each other in the upper rail of a blind. A winding reel is axially assembled on the reel pivotal base, having its outer circumference formed with an oblique conical surface gradually shrinking from its first end to its second end to enable a linking cord to move forward automatically when the linking cord is wound on the winding reel. The cord-guiding base is provided with at least one push block at a location where the winding reel is pivotally rotated for guiding the linking cord to be wound side by side closely on the winding reel, preventing the linking cord from overlapping or wound irregularly after the linking cord is wound on the winding reel, enabling a blind to be collapsed or stretched smoothly.
