Abstract: A light guide includes a body transmittable to light and a plurality of light guiding elements. The body includes a first end face on an end thereof. The body further includes a light emitting portion, a deflecting portion, and two lateral sides. The light emitting portion and the deflecting portion are opposite to each other. Each of the two lateral sides is connected to the light emitting portion and the deflecting portion. The first end face is connected to the deflecting portion and each of the two lateral sides. Each light guiding element includes a curved face. The curved face is a conical surface or a part of the conical surface. The curved face is coupled to the deflecting portion.

Abstract: A backlight device includes a backboard having a first portion and a second portion. The second portion is mounted to an outer periphery of the first portion.

A lighting module includes at least one conductive circuit and at least one light-emitting diode electrically connected to the at least one conductive circuit. The at least one conductive circuit is formed on the insulating layer. An optical module is mounted to the backboard and is located in a top of the light mixing chamber.

Abstract: A rotary paddle level switch has a housing, a driving unit, two switches, a resilient member, a clutch, a transmission shaft, and a propeller. A resilient clip of the clutch holds a non-circular actuation section of the transmission shaft. When the driving unit drives the clutch to rotate, the transmission shaft and the propeller are driven by the clutch. When the propeller is rapidly rotated by suddenly exerting an excessively large external force thereon, as the resilient clip holds the transmission shaft by elastic force, the fast rotating transmission shaft removes itself from the holding of the resilient clip and is rotated without driving the resilient clip to rotate, thereby avoiding the transmission of the external force and damage to the driving unit. As the clutch just needs a clutch stand and a resilient clip to achieve the foregoing function, the level switch is structurally simple and relatively inexpensive.

Abstract: A serial to parallel I/O circuit apparatus includes M sequential logic circuits and each of them includes a first D-type flip-flop for receiving one bit of input data, and the output of each the first D-type flip-flop connects to the input of a first D-type flip-flop of a next stage. A second D-type flip-flop receives one bit of enable control signal, and the output of each of the second D-type flip-flops connects to the input of a second D-type flip-flop of a next stage. A multiplexer contains two input terminals and an enable control signal receiving terminal, wherein one input terminal is used to receive the input data received by the first D-type flip-flop, and the enable control signal receiving terminal receives the enable control signal received by the second D-type flip-flop. A D-type latch outputs the data, and the output data is fed back to another input terminal of the multiplexer so as to be selected as a data output when a next set of data are input.

Abstract: A golf club head structure includes a body portion, a hitting plate portion, and a club body combining portion. The body portion has a first junction surface forming a first hook angle therewith. The hitting plate portion has a hitting surface and a second junction surface with a buffer region spaced there-between.
