  • Publication number: 20180168138
    Abstract: A mosquito trap device includes a housing having an air inlet and an air outlet. A wind channel is formed between the air inlet and the air outlet. An ultraviolet light module is mounted in the housing and is located adjacent to the air inlet. A wind module is mounted in the wind channel of the housing. A mosquito detaining device includes a tube and a net. The tube is mounted in the wind channel and is coupled to the wind module. The net is mounted to and covers an end of the tube adjacent to the air inlet. A controller is electrically connected to the ultraviolet light module and the wind module. The controller is configured to output a pulse width modulation signal to the ultraviolet light module. The pulse width modulation signal has a frequency of 25-512 Hz.

  • Patent number: 9883667
    Abstract: A bug zapper includes a body, a fan and a light source. The body has a compartment, an opening, a channel arranged between the compartment and the opening, and a coupling portion arranged between the compartment and the channel. The channel is formed by an enclosed reflection wall and gradually expands from the coupling portion towards the opening. The fan is coupled with the coupling portion. The light source is mounted on a location of the body adjacent to the fan and irradiates light in the channel. As such, the efficiency in attracting the mosquitoes is outstanding, and the negative effect to the human is reduced.

  • Patent number: 8622586
    Abstract: A table lamp has a lamp stand, an adjusting arm, a lamp head and an anti-glare lens. The anti-glare lens is mounted on the lamp head and has a body. The body has a bottom, a light entering concave face, a light source region, a total reflection face and a light ejecting convex face. The bottom has a zero axis to divide the bottom equally. The light entering concave face is formed in the body. The light source region is formed in the body. The total reflection face is obliquely formed on and protrudes from the body and is formed with the bottom of the body. An angle between the zero axis and the total reflection face is between 90 and 180 degrees. The light ejecting convex face is formed on the body, is formed with the total reflection face and has at least one curvature.

  • Patent number: 8410750
    Abstract: A method for solar power energy management with intelligent selection of operating modes classifies the power energy of a solar cell and an reserved power of a rechargeable battery into multiple power level ranges, and determine to supply power to a load in accordance with various combinations of the power level ranges of the solar cell and the rechargeable battery to avoid energy waste. When the solar cell is in a “sufficient” power level range, the power energy of the solar cell is simultaneously supplied to the load and stored in the rechargeable battery. When the solar cell is in an “insufficient” power level range, all the power energy of the solar cell is selectively supplied to the load or charged to the rechargeable battery. When being in a “poor” power level range, the power energy of the solar cell can still be charged to the rechargeable battery.

  • Patent number: 8305030
    Abstract: A classified solar charging method defines four magnitude classes of charging current in accordance with a combination selected from four magnitude classes of power production of a solar cell and four magnitude classes of capacity of each rechargeable battery of a rechargeable battery pack. In addition to the optimal charging current, the method simultaneously takes an operating temperature of the rechargeable battery into account upon using the solar cell to store energy in the rechargeable battery. Accordingly, the present invention can selectively charge overall, partial or single rechargeable battery based on the power production of the solar cell and the capacity of the rechargeable battery to enhance a charging efficiency and reduce a charging time.
