Abstract: A laser scanning beam reader is provided. When a round-grating-dot matrix is in a stationary state, the laser beams passing through the round-grating-dot matrix result in line-shaped refraction beams. By the laser scanning beam reader, the motor system conventionally used for rotating the hologram disc to successively generate dot scanning beams as the line-shaped will be omitted. As a consequence, the components and configurations of the laser scanning beam reader are simplified and the cost thereof is reduced.

Abstract: A sensing method for a capacitive touch panel includes charging a measure capacitor, setting the voltage across a mutual capacitor at the intersection of two traces of the capacitive touch panel, and then injecting partial charges of the measure capacitor into the mutual capacitor. When the intersection is touched, the capacitance value of the mutual capacitor is changed, and consequently the amount of charges injected into the mutual capacitor is changed. Hence, the voltage of the measure capacitor could be detected to determine whether or not the intersection is touched.

Abstract: A method of capturing an image of a document is provided. First, a notebook computer having a base is provided, wherein an image pickup device is disposed on the notebook computer, and a symbol mark is formed on the base of the notebook computer. Next, a document fixer having a fixer middle mark is provided. The document is fixed by the document fixer, wherein a centerline of a long edge of the document is aligned with the fixer middle mark. Next, the document fixer is moved according to a size of the document until the fixer middle mark is aligned with the symbol mark. After the image of the document is captured, an image processing procedure is performed. By aligning the fixer middle mark with the symbol mark of the notebook computer, the document is precisely positioned and thus a sharp image with no tilted distortion is acquired.

One end of the hollow portion includes a third cooling body and a reflection cover. The light emitting unit is adhered to one surface of the third cooling body, while the light source is projected corresponding to the reflection cover. A connection unit is disposed on the other end of the hollow portion, which can convey power source to the light emitting unit. The heat generated from the light emitting unit is directly absorbed into the third cooling body, and is transferred to the first cooling unit for performing heat exchange. The light emitting diode projector can thus obtain a better cooling effect.
