  • Patent number: 11926901
    Abstract: A method for fabricating nonenzymatic glucose sensor, which comprises steps of: (a) providing a bottom substrate; (b) preparing a graphene layer on the bottom substrate; (c) depositing plural amount of zinc oxide (ZnO) seed crystals on the graphene layer; (d) growing the ZnO seed crystals into columnar nanorods with hydrothermal method; (e) coating a thin film of cuprous oxide (Cu2O) on the surface of the ZnO nanorods by electrochemistry-based electrodeposition; and (f) grafting single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs) on surface of the Cu2O thin film, by using Nafion fixative composited with SWCNTs. The structure of the above sensor, therefore, comprises a bottom substrate and other components orderly assembled on it, including, from inside to outside, a graphene layer, plural amount of ZnO nanorods, a Cu2O thin film, plural amount of SWCNTs, and the Nafion fixative. Accordingly, the sensor has advantages of low cost, rapid response, and easy for preservation.

  • Patent number: 7863553
    Abstract: A light processing structure for a digital light processing (DLP) projection device is disclosed. The DLP projection device comprises a plurality of digital micro-mirror devices (DMDs). The optical processing structure comprises a color separation mechanism, a reflecting mechanism and a color combination mechanism, wherein the color separation mechanism utilizes dichroic mirror(s) and a color wheel for splitting light beams into individual colors. The reflecting mechanism includes a plurality of TIR prisms corresponding to the DMDs, respectively. The color combination mechanism utilizes a color-combining prism assembly in which two triangular prisms are assembled with each other. The mentioned mechanism uses a shorter back focal length for the projection lens, thereby reducing the light processing structure and enhancing product quality.

  • Patent number: 6623125
    Abstract: A heat-dissipating device for being used in a liquid crystal display projector having liquid crystal displays and polarizers is provided. The heat-dissipating device includes a heat-dissipating channel disposed under the liquid crystal displays and the polarizers and having a main path, a first branch, a second branch, and a plurality of vents corresponding to and adjacent to the liquid crystal displays and the polarizers, respectively, and a fan connected with an end of the heat-dissipating channel, wherein when an airflow is blown from the fan into the main path, the first branch and the second branch and discharged outwardly through the vents, heat generated from the liquid crystal displays and the polarizers is dissipated and temperatures around the liquid crystal displays are kept near isothermal.
