  • Publication number: 20260140024
    Abstract: A water-quality detection apparatus includes a detection chamber device, a pump module, a light source, a light sensor and a controller. The pump module is configured to transport a to-be-tested liquid and a reagent to a detection chamber of the detection chamber device. The light source emits detection light to the detection chamber. The light sensor senses the detection light traveling through the detection chamber and generates a detection voltage. The controller performs the following procedures: a voltage sensing procedure, a dilution determination procedure, a dilution procedure and a concentration acquisition procedure. The dilution determination procedure may calculate a voltage ratio between the detection voltage value and a basic-voltage value. When the voltage ratio is greater than a critical value, the concentration acquisition procedure is performed. When the voltage ratio is not greater than the critical value, the dilution procedure is performed.

  • Patent number: 12416618
    Abstract: A water quality detection device including a detection tank, a sensor, the cleaner and a processor is provided. The sensor is disposed on the detection tank and is configured to sense a to-be-detected liquid within the detection tank. The cleaner is configured to clean the sensor. The processor is electrically connected to the sensor and the cleaner and is configured to: execute an initialization procedure, which includes driving the sensor to sense the to-be-detected liquid to obtain a number of initial sensing values and calculating a threshold value according to the initial sensing values; drive the sensor to sense the to-be-detected liquid to obtain a sensing value of the to-be-detected liquid, and determine whether the sensing value of the to-be-detected liquid reaches the threshold value; drive the cleaner to operate when the sensing value of the to-be-detected liquid reaches the threshold value.

  • Patent number: 11064137
    Abstract: A dual-view image device for monitoring a heat source includes a first thermal image sensor, a second thermal image sensor, a driver and a processor. The first thermal image sensor captures a first thermal image having a heat source within a first view angle. The second thermal image sensor captures a second thermal image having a heat source within a second view angle smaller than the first view angle. The pixels occupied by the heat source in the first thermal image are fewer than that occupied by the heat source in the second thermal image. The driver drives the first and the second thermal image sensor to track and position the heat source within the first and the second view angle. The processor combines the first and the second thermal image into a dual-view image and outputs the dual-view image having the heat source.

  • Patent number: 9013774
    Abstract: A projection controlling method for controlling a MEMS scanning mirror to repeatedly scan an image light on a surface and form a projection image is provided. A resonance frequency of the MEMS scanning mirror which swings around a first swing axis is detected and provided to a filter unit as a parameter of a filtering process. A first periodic control signal with a first frequency and a plurality of harmonic components is generated. The harmonic component with the resonance frequency is filtered from the first periodic control signal by the filter unit. The filtered first periodic control signal is provided to the MEMS scanning mirror to control the MEMS scanning mirror to swing around the first swing axis according to the first frequency and to scan the image light on the surface back and forth along a first direction. A MEMS projection apparatus is also provided.
