  • Publication number: 20140153237
    Abstract: A light source module is disclosed and includes a carrier, a light-emitting unit, and a lens. The light-emitting unit is disposed on the carrier and has a light-emitting surface. The lens is disposed above the light-emitting unit and has bottom surface and a tapered top surface opposite to the bottom surface. The bottom surface is opposite right to the light-emitting surface. A gap exists between the bottom surface and the light-emitting surface. Therefore, beams emitted by the light-emitting unit are modulated by the lens to be mostly concentrated relatively in a specific radiation angle range and distributed more uniform within the specific radiation angle range, which is conducive to reduction of the glare degree of the light source module.

  • Publication number: 20130234858
    Abstract: A weight sensing device includes a casing, a weight sensing module and a light emitting module. A container placing area and a light emitting area are defined on a surface of the casing and staggered with each other. The weight sensing module is disposed in the casing and corresponding to the container placing area. The weight sensing module records a weight threshold. The light emitting module is disposed in the casing and corresponding to the light emitting area. When a container, which contains a substance, is placed on the container placing area, the weight sensing module senses a current weight of the container and the substance and compares the current weight with the weight threshold. When the current weight is smaller than the weight threshold, the weight sensing module drives the light emitting module to emit light, which is projected through the light emitting area.
