  • Publication number: 20030102967
    Abstract: A wireless solar energy burglar-proof device has a power source from the nature source. The wireless solar energy burglar-proof device includes an energy capturing device, a battery, an electric heating detector, a microprocessor, a transmission device, a wireless receiving device, an alarming device, and a CCTV device. The electric heating detector and other external detectors are responsible for monitoring a detecting area. When a trigger signal occurs, the microprocessor will be triggered so that the microprocessor will enter into a working condition. Then, the microprocessor drives the CCTV device and the transmission device. Then the signal is transferred to the receiver end or a control center in a high frequency way for real-time monitoring and recording an image so as to monitoring an area, recording signals or actuating the alarming device for preventing the intrusion of burglar.

  • Publication number: 20030013498
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a wireless earphone, which mainly comprises a main part of the wireless earphone, a sunken part, a hole which are set on the top of the main part, several slots and position holes which are set around the sunken part to make the upper cover be positioned and joined. Therefore, the upper cover is easy to be assembled and disassembled. In addition, a base is extended form the bottom of the main part and further has a rotating part, which can rotate, inside. A channel is set on the rotating part to let the ear-hanger be inserted into the channel and be able to rotate in the channel such that the ear-hanger can be hanged at the left/right ear of the user and can be adjusted properly due to thickness of the user's ear style. The hole of the top of the main part can be joined with a position set.

  • Publication number: 20020106100
    Abstract: A wireless hanging type earphone formed by two lobes of casings is disclosed. An inner side of the earphone body has a speaking portion at a position with respect to the ear cavity. A lower end thereof has a microphone. The position between the hook and the earphone body is adjustable by a pivotal shaft for searching for an orientation in communication. An inner part of the earphone body is installed with a receiving and transmitting circuit so that signals of a mobile phone are transferred to the earphone by wireless transmission. The water drop type wireless hanging type earphone has an antenna in the hook so that the receiving of signal retains the power without reduction due to decrement of a volume. In the present invention, by a water drop shape and the design of the inner circuit board, the microphone with a portion extending to the mouth is reduced. Furthermore, the sound receiver and transmitter are concentrated on the earphone structure.
