    Abstract: A projector and a brightness adjusting method are provided. The projector includes a distance sensor configured to detect a distance between the projector and a projection plane, a light source configured to provide an illumination beam, a brightness controlling circuit configured to control the light source, and a processor coupled to the distance sensor, the light source, and the brightness controlling circuit. The processor calculates according to the distance to obtain an image size of a projected image on the projection plane. The processor obtains a current value corresponding to the image size according to a color table. The processor instructs the light source to adjust a luminous flux of the illumination beam according to the current value for generating a target brightness value of the projected image. When a brightness of the projected image is excessively large, a brightness of an image beam of the projector is automatically reduced.

  • Patent number: 10213347
    Abstract: An absorbent article (100-1200) is capable of providing comfort to the wearer and can maintain dryness and inhibit the leakage of fluid. The absorbent article (100-1200) includes a multi-layered topsheet (138). The multi-layered topsheet (138) includes a first topsheet layer (106) having an opening (148) and a second topsheet layer (108) disposed under the first topsheet layer (106). The first topsheet layer (106) and the second topsheet layer (108) are joined together by a seal that, in one embodiment, generally corresponds with the shape of the opening (148). Further, a first sub-topsheet layer (116) is situated beneath the multi-layered topsheet (138) and has an opening (150) that is smaller than the first topsheet layer opening (148). This combination of openings (148, 150) situated one below the other provides for an absorbent article (100-1200) that can maintain a high level of dryness and its ability to conform to the wearer's body, and inhibit the leakage of bodily fluids due to a funnel-like effect.
