Abstract: The device includes a projecting device, an image sensor and a computing circuit. The projecting device provides a light beam having a predetermined pattern that is projected onto an object. The image sensor receives the light beam reflected from the object to generate an image. The computing circuit compares the image with a first ground-truth image and a ground-truth image to generate a first depth value and a second depth value respectively. The first and second depth values are combined to generate a depth result.

Each of the plurality of vibrators operates based on at least one vibration starting signal. The vibration controller is disposed on the body and is in data connection with the vibrators. The vibration controller generates at least one vibration starting signal based on a received external signal, and provides at least one vibration starting signal to each of the plurality of vibrators in a wired or wireless manner.

Abstract: A fan to be used as a relay node comprises male and female connect ports, a transmission wire set connecting the male and female connect ports, a power acquisition unit, and a signal processing unit. The male connect port is connected to a control source for receiving a working power and a control signal. The female connect port is selectively connectable to the male connect port of another fan to allow the fan electrically connect with another fan. The power acquisition unit is connected in parallel with the transmission wire set for extracting the working power to supply to a driving unit. The signal processing unit is connected to the transmission wire set to obtain and output the control signal to the driving unit, and acts as a relay node to output the control signal to the female connect port, so that the other fan can be controlled.

Abstract: An Internet-of-Things-based (IoT-based) computer on/off control expansion device and a computer on/off control system. The computer on/off control expansion device includes a signal line group and a control module. The signal line group includes a transmission line, and a signal bus connected to a motherboard and informationally connected to a casing power control line and the transmission line. The signal bus outputs an on/off signal transmitted by the casing power control line or the transmission line to the motherboard. The control module is connected to the transmission line, and includes a power receiving unit, a control unit connected to the power receiving unit, and a mobile hotspot communication unit connected to the power receiving unit and receiving a control signal from an Internet to cause the control unit to send the on/off signal.

Abstract: In this invention, a test system includes a tester and a switching module for connecting any pin to the tester for testing a device-under-test (DUT), the test system has a rectifying device between the ground of the DUT and the ground of the switching module in order to isolate the DUT from the switching module, thereby blocking unwanted current flowing between the DUT and the switching module to ensure the correctness of the testing. Since the ground of the switching module is not directly connected to the ground of the DUT and the tester, the rectifying device will keep the voltage difference between the ground of the switching module and the DUT in a range between zero and the cut-in voltage of the rectifying device, thereby allowing single-ended signals to be used between the switching module and the tester or the DUT.

Abstract: A control system for controlling an operation of a screen having a first geometric reference includes a marking device and a remote-control device. The marking device displays a first pattern associated with the first geometric reference on the screen. The remote-control device obtains a signal from the screen. The signal represents an image having a second geometric reference and a second pattern associated with the first pattern. The second pattern and the second geometric reference have a first geometric relationship therebetween. The remote-control device uses the first geometric relationship to transform the second pattern into a third pattern, and calibrates the first geometric reference according to the third pattern for controlling the operation of the screen.
