Patent number: 12600445Abstract: A marine rescue searchlight system with dual-axis azimuth control and gyro-stabilized beam projection includes a life jacket, a searchlight, and a control module. The searchlight has an azimuth control structure capable of 360-degree horizontal rotation and 270-degree elevation/depression angle adjustment, a gyroscope, and an LED light source module with a built-in adjustable zoom structure. When the life jacket falls into water and outputs a survival signal containing a survival coordinate, the control module uses the survival coordinate to calculate azimuth and distance and drive the azimuth control structure to rotate the horizontal angle and adjust the elevation/depression angle. If the distance is greater/smaller than a first/second benchmark value, the LED light source module will be driven to respectively increase/decrease the central light intensity and adjust the angle of incidence to a narrow/wide angle to accurately project a beam onto the life jacket to assist in the rescue operation.Type: GrantFiled: September 22, 2025Date of Patent: April 14, 2026Inventors: Yung-Hong Wang, Chien Lee

Patent number: 11683873Abstract: An energy-saving street light system with dynamic real-time brightness adjustment includes a multiple of street lights, each storing a modulated brightness value of the same luminous quota and a predetermined brightness value. If the street light detects no motor vehicle passing by or receives no notice for a period of time, then a light with the predetermined brightness value will be emitted, or else the largest modulated brightness value will be used for setting and a quantity of one of the luminous quota will be used up. After the whole quantity of the luminous quota is used up, the next smaller modulated brightness value is used for the aforementioned setting procedure until all modulated brightness values are set. If the same receiving unit receives two or more modulated brightness values simultaneously, the modulated brightness value with a greater brightness will be used for the setting.Type: GrantFiled: January 27, 2022Date of Patent: June 20, 2023Inventors: Yung-Hong Wang, Chien Lee
