  • Patent number: 7567350
    Abstract: An apparatus and a method are proposed for measuring displacement, surface profile and roughness of a moving object or an inner radius of a hollow cylinder. The apparatus includes a light emitting unit, a light dispersing unit for receiving light from the light emitting unit and focusing rays with different wavelengths into different focal points with different intervals, and a wavelength measuring unit for measuring wavelengths of the rays. When the moving object is moving within a dispersing range of the focal points, the rays with different wavelengths are reflected or scattered, and the displacement of the moving object is learned from variation of the wavelengths being measured by the wavelength measuring unit. Given that a reflecting component is disposed in the centre of an inner circle of the hollow cylinder, the inner radius of the hollow cylinder can be measured by the principle of the apparatus for measuring displacement.

  • Publication number: 20090140581
    Abstract: A voice coil motor. A guide bar connects to a fixed base. A coil connects to the fixed base and includes a first winding portion and a second winding portion. A current direction in the first winding portion is opposite that in the second winding portion. A support base movably fits on the guide bar. A magnetic member connects to the support base and includes a first magnetic pole and a second magnetic pole. A magnetization direction of the magnetic member parallels a moving direction of the support base and magnetic member and is perpendicular to a central axis of the coil. The first and second magnetic poles respectively oppose the first and second winding portions of the coil. The first and second magnetic poles respectively interact with the first and second winding portions to generate a first force and a second force, moving the support base and magnetic member.

  • Publication number: 20090045896
    Abstract: An electromagnetic transmission device. A guide bar connects to a fixed base and includes magnetic-permeable material and a first central height plane. A coil connects to the fixed base. A support base movably fits on the guide bar. An annular magnetic member connects to the support base and is surrounded by the coil. A magnetization direction of the annular magnetic member is perpendicular to a moving direction of the support base and annular magnetic member. The annular magnetic member includes a second central height plane. The coil interacts with the annular magnetic member to generate a first force. When moving to separate the second central height plane from the first central height plane, the annular magnetic member interacts with the guide bar to generate a second force, driving the support base and annular magnetic member to move along a direction perpendicular to the magnetization direction of the annular magnetic member.

  • Publication number: 20080012820
    Abstract: A method and a system for achieving a desired operation illumination condition for a plurality of light emitters are provided. The light emitters are divided into mutually distinctive groups. The groups of light emitters are sequentially activated while maintaining the rest of groups of the light emitters in an inactivated state. In this manner, the illumination condition of each group of light emitters are detected, so as to adjust a driving condition for the light emitters, thereby producing a light source with uniformly distributed white light spectra, and a homogeneous intensity distribution over the entire region of the light source.

  • Publication number: 20060243997
    Abstract: A high power LED has at least a porous material layer, a thermal conductive layer and a chip. The thermal conductive layer is disposed on the surface of the porous material layer and the chip is disposed on the thermal conductive layer. Heat generated by the chip is conducted from the thermal conductive layer to the porous material layer, and convected outside via the porous material layer. Thereby, surface area in contact with the air is increased and high thermal conductivity and high heat convection are also achieved.

  • Publication number: 20060134562
    Abstract: A method of forming a micro pattern. The method comprises the following steps: providing a substrate; forming a first micro-fluid layer of photo resistant material on the substrate; providing a first photo mask; and exposing the first micro-fluid layer to light via the first photo mask to form a micro pattern. The dimension of the first micro-fluid layer is larger than that of the micro pattern.
