Abstract: An optical mouse is provided with a conversion unit, a control unit, an optical sensing unit, a light emitting unit, and a switch unit. The conversion unit is electrically connected to a working voltage source, the control unit, and the optical sensing unit. The conversion unit is configured to convert voltage to supply power to the control unit, the optical sensing unit, and the light emitting unit. The control unit is electrically connected to the optical sensing unit. The switch unit is electrically connected to the light unit. When the switch unit is in a turn-off state, the light emitting unit stops emitting light toward a trace surface. The optical sensing unit senses a darkness and transfers darkness data to the control unit. The control unit performs a configured function based on the darkness data.

Abstract: A brightness measuring method of device with backlight is performed by a controlling device, for measuring legends of backlight provided by a backlight module of a device under test (DUT). The method includes turning on a uniform light source external to the DUT for illuminating the DUT; capturing and receiving an image of the DUT illuminated with uniform light as a base image; identifying a complete pattern of a to-be-measured legend in the base image; turning off the uniform light source and turning on the backlight of the DUT so as to illuminate the legend of DUT; capturing and receiving an image of the DUT illuminated with backlight as a comparison image, wherein the scope of the comparison image overlaps the scope of the base image; and calculating brightness values of a plurality of pixels in the comparison image whose positions overlap the positions of the complete pattern.

Abstract: A light-emitting keyboard includes a keycap, a frame and a solid-state lighting source. The keycap has a light-entrance portion formed on the periphery thereof, and a touch surface for pressing by user. The keycap is made of light-guiding material and defines a light-guiding path from the light entrance portion to the touch surface. The frame is arranged adjacent to the keycap and surrounds the periphery of the keycap. The frame is made of light-guiding material and forms at least one light-outputting surface. The at least one light-outputting surface is contiguous to the light-entrance portion. The solid-state lighting source is fixed to the frame and emits light from the light-outputting surface into the light-entrance portion by the light-guiding path, and exits from the touch surface of the keycap. The instant disclosure also provides an illuminating structure of the keyboard, and a keycap thereof.

Abstract: A twin rotation driving apparatus is provided, including a base body, an axle unit pivotally connected to the base body for carrying a workpiece, a first driving unit disposed on the base body and having a first gear set connected to the axle unit and a first motor coaxially connected to the first gear set, and a second driving unit disposed on the base body and having a second gear set connected to the axle unit and a second motor coaxially connected to the second gear set. The twin rotation driving apparatus includes two motors and two gear sets. Therefore, smaller motors can be included in the twin rotation driving apparatus, and the twin rotation driving apparatus is compact and can still generate great enough torques.
