  • Patent number: 11917340
    Abstract: A projection device, including an illumination system, a control element, a driving element, a light valve, and a projection lens, is provided. The illumination system includes multiple light sources for providing multiple light beams to be combined into an illumination light beam. The driving element respectively drives the light sources in a first mode or a second mode, so that the light beams have respective luminous brightness, and the driving element is switched from the first mode to the second mode according to a first signal. The control element provides the first signal to the driving element according to an optical state or a time state of the projection device. The light valve is adapted to convert the illumination light beam into an image light beam. The projection lens is adapted to project the image light beam out of the projection device.

  • Patent number: 11914277
    Abstract: An illumination system for providing an illumination beam includes red, blue, and green light source modules, a first light combining element, and a light uniforming element. The red light source module includes a first red light emitting element emitting first red light and a second red light emitting element emitting second red light. A peak wavelength of the second red light is greater than a peak wavelength of the first red light. The blue light source module includes a first blue light emitting element emitting first blue light and a second blue light emitting element emitting second blue light. A peak wavelength of the second blue light is less than a peak wavelength of the first blue light. The green light source module generates green light. The first light combining element guides these lights into the light uniforming element, so that the illumination system outputs the illumination beam.

  • Publication number: 20230168361
    Abstract: A method for recognizing a motion state of an object by using a millimeter wave radar having at least one antenna is disclosed. The method includes the following steps. A region is set to select an object in the region, wherein the object has M ranges and M azimuths between the object and the at least one antenna during a first motion time. Each of the M ranges and the M azimuths are projected on a two-dimensional (2D) plane to form M frames. The M frames are sequentially arranged into a first consecutive candidate frames having a time sequence. The first consecutive candidate frames are inputted into an artificial intelligence model to determine a motion state type of the first consecutive candidate frames.

  • Patent number: 5782997
    Abstract: Single crystal aluminum is deposited on SiGe structures to form metal interconnects. Generally, a method of forming single crystal aluminum on Si.sub.(1-X) Ge.sub.X is presented, including the steps of maintaining the substrate at certain temperature (e.g. between 300.degree. C. and 400.degree. C.) and pressure conditions (e.g. below 2.times.10.sup.-9 millibar) while aluminum atoms are deposited by a vacuum evaporation technique. This is apparently the first method of depositing single crystal aluminum on SiGe surfaces. Novel structures are made possible by the invention, including epitaxial layers 34 formed on single crystal aluminum 32 which has been deposited on SiGe 30. Among the advantages made possible by the methods presented are thermal stability and resistance to electromigration.
