  • Publication number: 20190372214
    Abstract: Disclosed is a single physical antenna structure that has two ports and two ground points and functions as two separate and independent subantennas. Although the two subantennas are in close physical proximity and are physically connected, the antenna structure provides strong isolation to allow the subantennas to function independently of one another, particularly useful in MU-MIMO applications.

  • Patent number: 10416392
    Abstract: An optical adapter includes a base body, a shutter member, and a supporting base. The shutter member is pivotally connected at an insertion opening of the base body. The supporting base is assembled on a bottom portion of the base body. A surface of the supporting base has an abutting piece inside the base body. One of two ends of the abutting piece includes a fixing portion fixed on the supporting base, and the other end of the abutting piece includes an abutting portion obliquely extending toward the shutter member to abut against a back surface of the shutter member. Therefore, the supporting base can be assembled on the bottom of the base body conveniently. Furthermore, when the abutting piece is pushed and compressed by the shutter member, the abutting piece is not prone to have excessive deformation, prevent the abutting piece from being deformed or damaged easily.

  • Patent number: 10179537
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a smart brake warning system, wherein the system is installed on a vehicle body either directly or using a base. The system comprises at least a warning light device, which is used to emit different modes or degrees of light to serve as a warning for vehicles approaching from the rear, and at least one inertia detection device, which is used to detect the inertia of the vehicle at that instance, and control the warning light device to emit different degrees of light mode according to the size of the inertia force. Even if the vehicle driver does not step on the vehicle brake, the present invention is still able to produce a warning signal to vehicle drivers approaching from the rear, achieving a forced warning effect that prevents accidental rear-end collisions.
