  • Patent number: 8604372
    Abstract: A push button for mounting on a shell includes a button body depressibly engaged in a through hole defined in the shell, a flexible circuit board, a rigid plate attaching to the shell and a conductive spring tab. The flexible circuit board is arranged between the a button body and the rigid plate. The flexible circuit board is brought into contact with the rigid plate. The flexible circuit board is electrically connected to a connector and includes a pair of normally-open contacts. The conductive spring tab is fixed to the flexible circuit board and aligned with the button body. The conductive spring tab is deformable. The button body is configured for being manually depressed so as to urge the conductive spring tab to deform and contact the pair of normally-open contacts, thereby generating a signal transmittable through the flexible circuit board to the connector.

  • Publication number: 20130285454
    Abstract: A solar power system includes a solar panel for converting solar power into direct current power. The solar power system further includes an electric power detecting device, an elevator mechanism, an electric current control unit and a fixing mechanism. The elevator mechanism mechanically pulls a weight under a direct current motor and drives the direct current motor to rotate to generate electric power when the weigh falls. The electric current control unit outputs the direct current power to the direct current motor when the direct current power is equal to a predetermined value and stops outputting the direct current power when the weight is pulled to a predetermined. The fixing mechanism keeps the weight staying at the predetermined height and enables the weight to fall so that the elevator mechanism driving the direct current motor to rotate to generate electric power.
