Patent number: 11934027Abstract: An optical system affixed to an electronic apparatus is provided, including a first optical module, a second optical module, and a third optical module. The first optical module is configured to adjust the moving direction of a first light from a first moving direction to a second moving direction, wherein the first moving direction is not parallel to the second moving direction. The second optical module is configured to receive the first light moving in the second moving direction. The first light reaches the third optical module via the first optical module and the second optical module in sequence. The third optical module includes a first photoelectric converter configured to transform the first light into a first image signal.Type: GrantFiled: June 21, 2022Date of Patent: March 19, 2024Assignee: TDK TAIWAN CORP.Inventors: Chao-Chang Hu, Chih-Wei Weng, Chia-Che Wu, Chien-Yu Kao, Hsiao-Hsin Hu, He-Ling Chang, Chao-Hsi Wang, Chen-Hsien Fan, Che-Wei Chang, Mao-Gen Jian, Sung-Mao Tsai, Wei-Jhe Shen, Yung-Ping Yang, Sin-Hong Lin, Tzu-Yu Chang, Sin-Jhong Song, Shang-Yu Hsu, Meng-Ting Lin, Shih-Wei Hung, Yu-Huai Liao, Mao-Kuo Hsu, Hsueh-Ju Lu, Ching-Chieh Huang, Chih-Wen Chiang, Yu-Chiao Lo, Ying-Jen Wang, Shu-Shan Chen, Che-Hsiang Chiu

Patent number: 7861445Abstract: The present invention pertains to a solar powered flower of dynamic simulation comprising a stem, a solar power supplier, a connecting base, a driving unit, a movable tray, and plurality of swinging members as well as petals. Wherein, the connecting base fixed on the top end of the stem and peripherally provided with multiple inlaying slots, in which the swinging member is pivoted. Each swinging member provides an upper arm to install a petal, and a lower arm to pivot the movable tray, on which contacts an output terminal of the driving unit for the movable tray to move up- and downward to motivate the vacillation of the swinging member as a seesaw. The petals then swing conforming to the swinging member to bloom and close achieving a dynamic simulation of the reality.Type: GrantFiled: June 8, 2009Date of Patent: January 4, 2011Inventors: Zhiming Sui, Chien-Kuo Hsu

Patent number: 7471893Abstract: A digital camera has a printed circuit board which comprises a main area and a flexible area. An optical sensor chip (e.g. a CCD) is fixed onto the flexible area. The flexible area has flexible character relative to the main area. Therefore, even if the printed circuit board is stressed, such stress will be almost or completely eliminated in the flexible area, so that the optical sensor chip and an optical lens can be coupled together in a precise manner.Type: GrantFiled: March 6, 2006Date of Patent: December 30, 2008Assignee: Premier Image Technology CorporationInventors: Jiun-Nan Lu, Chien-Kuo Hsu, Chih-Hsiang Tsai

Publication number: 20070126402Abstract: A battery detection system and related method are provided. The battery detection system according to the invention is coupled to a battery for detecting the type and remaining power of the battery, and includes a processor coupled to an A/D converter and an I/O control; a circuit, comprising a switch and a load, wherein the I/O control is used to control the switch for enabling or disabling the load. When the load is enabled, the A/D converter obtains a first voltage; when the load is disabled, the A/D converter obtains a second voltage. By calculating the first and second voltages, the processor obtains the type and remaining power of the battery.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 11, 2006Publication date: June 7, 2007Applicant: PREMIER IMAGE TECHNOLOGY CORPORATIONInventors: Shen-Fu Tsai, Chien-Kuo Hsu

Patent number: 6714735Abstract: A capacitor charging device for a flash, finishes charging the flash capacitor in a gradual manner. It has a flash capacitor, a voltage transforming circuit, a voltage mode pulse width modulation (PWM) control circuit and a charging control circuit. The charging control circuit has a time control capacitor to make the pulse width of the pulse voltage output from the voltage mode PWM control circuit increase gradually. The voltage transforming circuit is driven to provide a gradually increasing induced current to the flash capacitor to reduce the damage of the external circuit, flash capacitor and rechargeable battery.Type: GrantFiled: June 9, 2003Date of Patent: March 30, 2004Assignee: Premier Image Technology CorporationInventors: Wen-Hwa Lin, Chien-Kuo Hsu
