Abstract: The present invention discloses a biological detection device and a detecting method. The biological detection device comprises a substrate, an electric field unit, a liquid crystal/polymer composite film (LCPCF), a power supply, a processing unit, and an image sensor. Because of the electrically tunable orientations of the liquid crystal (LC) director anchored among the polymer grains, the wettability of the LCPCF changes with an applied electric field. As a result, we can manipulate a blood droplet on the LCPCF by a wettability gradient owing to the distribution of LC directors on the LCPCF. The motion states of the blood droplet can be related to the various qualities of the blood, and finally determines the health of the test sample. The change of contact angle of blood on LCPCF and the blood droplet motion on LCPCF indicate the concentration of TG and the concentration of HDL.

Abstract: A method for controlling a flash of an electronic device by detecting an illumination intensity and a color temperature of a current environment from a RGB sensor. When the illumination intensity is lower than a first predetermined value, a pre-flash of the flash is turned on. Control a color temperature of the pre-flash to be equal to the color temperature when the color temperature is lower than a second predetermined value. A distance between a target object and the camera is obtained, adjusting the current of the high color temperature LED and the current of the low color temperature LED simultaneously according to the obtained distance after turning on a main-flash of the flash to capture an image of the target object.

Abstract: An air compression device is applied in an air compressor. A rotatable pressure regulating disk and a valve are disposed in a rotor set. When external air enters an air chamber in the rotor set, the air is exhausted after being compressed through rotation of a first rotor and a second rotor. When the two rotors compress the air, a user may control the pressure regulating disk to rotate to advance or postpone exhaust of the air from the valve, so as to change an exhaust pressure in the air chamber to adjust an exhaust volume output by the rotor set. An adjustable air intake disk may further be added, so that timing adjustment can be performed during both air intake and exhaust.
