Abstract: An automatic document feeder for duplex scanning includes a scanning module, a pickup roller assembly, a first discharging roller assembly, a second discharging roller assembly, a first path, a second path, a third path, a sheet feeding tray, a first discharging tray and a second discharging tray. The first discharging tray is used as a reverse region. Since only the scanning module inside the automatic document feeder is used for scanning the document without the participation of the flatbed image scanning portion, the operative space for accommodating the scanning module in the flatbed image scanning portion is not required. As a result, the length and the overall volume thereof are reduced.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a duplex scanning apparatus. The duplex scanning apparatus includes a sheet input tray for placing a stack of documents thereon. For performing duplex scanning operations on the stack of paper sheets, the documents are successively scanned from the bottommost one to the uppermost one. As a consequence, the scanned documents are stacked in the sheet ejecting tray in the same order as that of the original stack.

Abstract: A document feeder for feeding a plurality of paper sheets one by one includes an engaging module and a detachable roller module. The detachable roller module is detachably mounted on the engaging module and includes a frame, a paper separation roller axel, a fixing element and a paper separation roller. The paper separation roller axel is supported on the frame. The fixing element is pivotally coupled to the paper separation roller axel for positioning the detachable roller module on the engaging module. The paper separation roller is disposed within the fixing element and sheathed around the paper separation roller axel.

Abstract: By combining a sensing module having a lens and an image sensor with a carriage module having a mirror set, a reading device of a scanning apparatus is assembled. The sensing module further includes two channels at bilateral sides of the lens and two guiding slots disposed on external sides of the channels. The carriage module further includes two linear tracks corresponding to the channels and two bolt hole pedestals corresponding to the guiding slots. The sensing module is glided on the carriage module when the linear tracks are embedded in corresponding channels, thereby correcting the desired magnification.

Abstract: An image scanner has a pivotal illuminator plate. The illuminator plate is pivotally coupled to the main housing of the image scanner and storable within the automatic paper feeder when the illuminator plate is not used. For scanning a transparent object, the illuminator plate is rotated in the direction toward the glass platform, so that the transparent object is covered by the illuminator plate.

Abstract: A scanning module includes a main body and a sensor module. The sensor module includes a circuit board, a sensing element, an image sensor adjustable mechanism and four adjustable rods. By means of the image sensor adjustable mechanism and these four adjustable rods, the positions of the sensing element can be controlled in seven degrees of freedom.

Abstract: A light emitting device includes: a heat dissipating unit including a metallic first heat sink having a chip-mounting area, a thermally conductive bonding layer, and a metallic second heat sink overlapping and attached to the first heat sink through the bonding layer such that the bonding layer is sandwiched between the first and second heat sinks, the heat dissipating unit being formed with a light exit window that is aligned with the chip-mounting area and that extends through the second heat sink and the bonding layer so as to expose the chip-mounting area; a light emitting chip attached to the chip-mounting area of the first heat sink for emitting light through the light exit window; and a transparent enclosing material filling the light exit window to enclose the light emitting chip.

Abstract: A duplex scanning apparatus includes a sheet feeding tray, a sheet pick-up roller and a sheet separation roller. The sheet feeding tray includes a first opening and a second opening. The sheet pick-up roller and the sheet separation roller are partially received in the first opening and the second opening of the sheet feeding tray, respectively, so that the sheet pick-up roller and the sheet separation roller are sustained against documents on the sheet feeding tray. For performing duplex scanning operations on the stack of paper sheets, the documents are successively scanned from the bottommost paper sheet to the uppermost paper sheet. As a consequence, the scanned documents are stacked in the discharging tray in the same order as that of the original stack.

Abstract: The invention discloses a light source apparatus. The light source apparatus includes a cold cathode fluorescent lamp (CCFL), a light emitting diode (LED) module, a light detector, a servo control module, an LED-driving module, and a CCFL driving module. The light detector detects light generated by the CCFL and the LED module to generate a detection signal. The servo control module generates a first and a second control signal according to the detection signal. The LED-driving module drives the LED module according to the first control signal. The CCFL driving module drives the CCFL according to the second control signal.

The first scanning module is used for scanning a first side of a document. The second scanning module is used for scanning a second side of a document. The roller assemblies are used for transporting the document. The position sensor is used for sensing entrance of the document. By enhancing space utilization of the second scanning module, the overall volume of the duplex scanning apparatus is decreased.

Abstract: A lens includes a lens body having a bottom surface, a reflective surface, and a refractive surface. The bottom surface is to be disposed proximate to a light-emitting component. The reflective surface is disposed opposite to the bottom surface along a lens axis, and reflects a first portion of the light provided by the light-emitting component that is incident thereon toward the refractive surface. The refractive surface extends from an edge of the reflective surface to the bottom surface, and refracts a second portion of the light provided by the light-emitting component that is incident thereon as well as the first portion of the light reflected by the reflective surface theretoward in sideward directions relative to the light-emitting component. The lens body has cross-sections transverse to the lens axis, sizes of which increase gradually from a junction of the reflective surface and the refractive surface toward the bottom surface.
