  • Publication number: 20110141731
    Abstract: A reflection-type light-emitting assembly is provided. The reflection-type light-emitting assembly includes a reflector and a plurality of light-emitting elements. The reflector has a concave-shape body and a supporter. The supporter is formed by extending the rim of the concave-shape body toward the center thereof, so as to form a light-emitting opening of the reflector. The light-emitting elements are arranged on the supporter. Light rays emitted by the light-emitting elements fall on a reflecting surface of the reflector and then reflect off the reflecting surface to thereby exit the light-emitting opening. The light rays reflected off the reflecting surface and out the reflector are relatively soft rather than glaringly uncomfortable to the human eyes.

  • Publication number: 20110051475
    Abstract: The present invention discloses a regular circuitry for reducing ripple resulting from a line voltage transmitting to a secondary side of a power transformer. The regular circuitry electrically connected in parallel with the power transformer includes a ripple sampling circuit, a proportional amplifier circuit, and a reversing amplifier circuit. The ripple sampling circuit selects a sampling ripple from the input port of the power transformer, which is electrically connected in series between a primary side rectification circuit and a secondary side rectification circuit. The proportional amplifier circuit receives the sampling ripple to generate an amplified sampling ripple. The amplified sampling ripple transmits to the reversing amplifier circuit so that a reversed sampling ripple is generated. Thus, the reversed sampling ripple can be input to the output port of the power transformer to superimpose on the signal output from the power transformer to reduce the ripple resulting from the line voltage.

  • Publication number: 20110005573
    Abstract: A foldable solar energy apparatus is provided. The foldable solar energy apparatus includes a frame, a first solar energy module, an actuation module, and a power module. A photovoltaic panel is coupled to a first holder of the first solar energy module, and electricity generated by the photovoltaic panel is stored in the power module. The first holder is rotatably coupled to the frame so that the first holder is collapsible via the actuation module, which is disposed at the frame and connected to the first holder. The first holder and the actuation module provide the solar energy apparatus with a foldable function. Thus, the solar energy apparatus can be folded in response to changes in weather conditions, thereby preventing the photovoltaic panel from being damaged by bad weather.

  • Publication number: 20100328947
    Abstract: A light-emitting diode (LED) light source assembly with a heat dissipation base is provided. The LED light source assembly includes the heat dissipation base and a light bar. The light bar includes a flexible printed circuit (FPC) board and at least one LED unit which is disposed on the FPC board and electrically connected to the FPC board. The heat dissipation base has two retaining recesses for lodging the side portions of the FPC board, so the FPC board can be thermally conductively connected to the heat dissipation base. Because of the flexibility of the FPC board, it is easy to lodge the FPC board in the heat dissipation base via the retaining recesses. Thus, the cost for arranging the light bar can be economized.
