Abstract: The invention provides a scroll wheel module, which includes an adjustment wheel, a scroll wheel and a transmission mechanism. The adjustment wheel includes an adjustment portion. The scroll wheel includes a contact portion. The transmission mechanism has a first end and a second end opposite to each other, the first end is connected to the adjustment portion of the adjustment wheel, and the second end is adjacent to the scroll wheel. When the adjustment wheel is rotated, the first end of the transmission mechanism produces a displacement relative to the adjustment portion such that the second end of the transmission mechanism applies a force to the contact. A magnitude of the force is proportional to a rotational force of the scroll wheel.

Abstract: The scanning apparatus includes a movable chassis and a main board fixed on the body. A charge-coupled device module and a front end processing device are disposed on the chassis. An application-specific integrated circuit is positioned on the main board. After the charge-coupled device module detects a light analog signal, the application-specific integrated circuit communicates with the front end processing device through a command interface. Therefore, the light analog signal is converted into the light digital signal by the front end processing device, and then the light digital signal encoded into low voltage differential signaling form is transmitted to the application-specific integrated circuit for proceeding the subsequent image processing.
