Abstract: A backlight module includes a light guide plate and a light source. The light guide plate includes a first end portion, a second end portion, a middle portion between the first and second end portions, a top face extending from the first end portion to the second end portion, a bottom face extending from the first end portion to the second end portion, a light entrance face interconnecting the top and bottom faces at the first end portion, and a plurality of prismatic strips formed on the bottom face. The prismatic strips have a lower density at the first end portion as compared to the middle portion. The density is defined as a total length of the prismatic strips per unit area of the bottom face. The light source is disposed adjacent to the light entrance face.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a surface plasmon resonance detector, that is portable and easy to operate, and its optical-fiber biosensor unit can be readily replaced. The SPR detector of the present invention comprises: a light source; an optical-fiber biosensor unit having a well, a coating layer, and a core layer; an optical detector; a plurality of optical fibers connecting with the light source, the optical-fiber biosensor unit and the optical detector; and a calculation and display unit connecting with the optical detector, wherein the optical detector receives the optical signals from the optical detector and display the calculation results thereof. Besides, the SPR detector of the present invention has high sensitivity and is able to identify species of trace biomolecules.

Abstract: A surface light source apparatus including a lamp reflector, a light guide plate, a transparent support member and a light source is provided. The lamp reflector includes a bottom surface and a light emitting cross-section opposite to the bottom surface. The light guide plate has a light incident surface and is adjacent to the light emitting cross-section of the lamp reflector, which is disposed by one side of the lamp reflector. The transparent support member is disposed inside the lamp reflector, and leans against the bottom surface of the lamp reflector and the light incident surface of the light guide plate. The light source is disposed inside the transparent support member, such that the light source avoids the damage form the collision by the shifting light guide plate under the protection of the transparent support member.

Abstract: A system and method for managing inventory automatically monitors inventory amounts, provides information concerning inventory, and automatically adjusts an inventory replenishment schedule. The system includes: an inventory control unit (1) having: an inventory server (10), for controlling receipt, dispatch and storage of inventory, for integrating information received from suppliers and customers with information on current inventory amounts, and for determining if current inventory should be replenished; an inventory database (12) for storing information on suppliers, customers and inventory status; and a web server (13) for handling inquiries. A current amount of inventory is periodically monitored, and an inventory warning report is automatically generated when the amount of inventory is outside a safe range of amounts. The report is sent to the corresponding supplier, customer and/or other relevant staff by E-mail.
