  • Patent number: 10485070
    Abstract: An embodiment of the disclosure provides a light source apparatus including a light-emitting module and a control unit. The light-emitting module is configured to provide a light. The control unit is configured to change proportion of a first sub-light and a second sub-light to form the light so that a circadian action factor (CAF) and a correlated color temperature (CCT) of the light varies along a CAF vs. CCT locus of the light different from a CAF vs. CCT locus of sunlight. A CAF vs. CCT coordinate of one of the first sub-light and the second sub-light is below the CAF vs. CCT locus of sunlight, and a CAF vs. CCT coordinate of the other one of the first sub-light and the second sub-light is above the CAF vs. CCT locus of sunlight. A display apparatus is also provided.

  • Patent number: 8814418
    Abstract: A modularized illuminating device includes a retaining base, a lighting module, and a light guide element. The retaining base includes an elastic positioning unit. The lighting module is removably disposed on the retaining base, and has a sliding groove and a retaining groove. The light guide element is disposed on the retaining base and faces to the lighting module. When the lighting module is installed to the retaining base along a plugging direction, the elastic positioning unit slides from the sliding groove to the retaining groove to retain the lighting module in the retaining base.

  • Publication number: 20060156445
    Abstract: A tiny power-assembly device driven by rotatory molecular motors are disclosed. The molecular motor power-supplying device includes multiple connecting members, multiple upper rotating arms, multiple lower rotating arms and multiple rotatory molecular motors. The F1-ATPase is optioned as the sample molecular motor of this device and is located between the upper rotating arm and the lower rotating arm. Each molecular motor is connected with a lower rotating arm through the ?, ? subunits and connected with a lower rotating arm by the ? subunit. The molecular motor power-supplying device can be driven to shorter (connecting members closely) or longer (connecting members separated far away) by the accumulated driving forces from the rotatory molecular motors.

  • Publication number: 20050189773
    Abstract: A latch apparatus for a blast-resistant container, comprising a chain hook on an edge of the container, a hook seat on a sliding door, a base, a connecting piece, a latch and a nut. The latch has a curved surface next to the hook seat and a front plate with a wedge-shaped cross-section. When the latch is turned into a locked state, the curved surface and front plate thereof push a hook on the chain hook tightly into the hook seat, so that in the locked state the chain hook will not loosen and will expose only a short lever arm, providing improved protection from a blast.
