  • Patent number: 7242562
    Abstract: The present invention discloses a fan protection apparatus and related method thereof. The fan protection apparatus has a control circuit and a counter. According to the fan protection method, the user can set the acceptable restart number and the special time for auto restart. The fan protection apparatus and method can force to stop the fan when the fan encounters an abnormal situation. When the stop time has passed, the fan is automatically restarted. The present invention counts the number of restarts. If the number of restarts equals the set number and the abnormal situation also cannot be eliminated, the present invention cuts off power to the fan.

  • Publication number: 20070080306
    Abstract: A video surveillance camera has an infrared (IR) light emitting diode (LED) for emitting IR light, and a solar detector for detecting visible light. And the video surveillance camera can control the infrared light emitting diode to emit the IR light according to a level of visible light detected by the solar detector. Therefore, the video surveillance camera can fully turn the IR LED off or on when the level of visible light changes, even in the presence of invisible light.

  • Publication number: 20050231635
    Abstract: Disclosed herein is a method to detect and identify 3-2 pulldown patterns in a video sequence. If no 3-2 pulldown pattern is detected, the video remains unmodified. If 3-2 pulldown patterns are found, repeated fields are removed and original frames are reconstructed. Optionally, additional instructions may be generated for a video encoder. Additionally, in accordance with the present invention, repeated fields are removed in a way that does not throw away any information. The method described herein describes a plurality of operations that define one or more metrics or parameters of the video data for use in identifying the repeated fields.
