  • Publication number: 20100163713
    Abstract: An electromagnetic wave sensing device and an operating method for the same are disclosed. The claimed device integrates signal transformation, operation and a sensing range configuration. Particularly, the sensing apparatus at least has two sensing units that respectively sense the ambient light and the electromagnetic wave with a specific range of spectrum. Moreover, a temperature sensor is further introduced to compensate the sensed signals by eliminating the temperature influence. Since the output of the sensing device can have a stable characteristic, the downstream manufacturers don't need to use different hardware or software to adapt different product conditions. The preferred embodiment is to provide one electromagnetic wave sensing device having at least two sensing units for respectively sensing different ranges of electromagnetic waves. After signal transformation, the signals are outputted according to the working mode configured by a control unit.

  • Publication number: 20100149706
    Abstract: A removable and short-circuit-avoidable lithium battery module mainly makes use of a protective device mounted between a control circuit and any two cells. Wherein, the protective device includes a base plate and a conductive surface connecting with the cell, an output tab connecting with the control circuit, and a protective unit mounted on the conductive surface and the output tab. Whereby, the conductive surface and the output tab have larger areas to respectively link the cell and the control circuit. While connecting with electricity, the cell and the control circuit would be more accurately connected. Moreover, the protective unit would become disconnected while the cell and the control circuit are fell and collided, so as to prevent the cell and the control circuit from the inaccurate connection and destruction. The present invention also facilitates to swiftly replace the protective device while it is damaged and to contribute a convenient utility.
