  • Publication number: 20120116770
    Abstract: A speech data retrieving and presenting device applied with an electronic device through a network includes a data receiving unit, a processing unit and a speech presenting unit. The data receiving unit connected to the network receives data of the electronic device through the network. The processing unit coupled to the data receiving unit receives speech data and retrieves a speech presenting signal from the speech data. The speech presenting unit coupled to the processing unit receives the speech presenting signal and outputs a speech according to the speech data. This device can assist a user to obtain network information, and provide the user a more flexible application according to the property that the device can be operated independently by a simple motion.

  • Publication number: 20120075470
    Abstract: The present invention discloses a time-sequential multi-spectrum image acquiring device structure which uses a single camera module to achieve multi-spectrum image acquiring in a time-sequential architecture, thereby providing a simple, lightweight telemetry system and reducing the development and operation costs thereof. For example, a visible and near infrared (VNIR) imaging system reduces the use of four camera modules (each including an optical lens, filter, sensor, and image signal processing unit) to single camera module, the VNIR imaging system acquires multi-spectrum images having the same image geometric parameters for image calibration and can simplify the calibration process. The present invention is implemented by introducing a multi-spectrum filter wheel capable of rotating in high speed in the camera module and controlling the image acquiring frequency of the sensor and the synchronicity of the wheel rotating speed for multi-spectrum image acquiring.

  • Publication number: 20100224771
    Abstract: A system and a method for calibrating an ambient light sensor (ALS) are disclosed. The ALS, an adjustable resistor and a switch are located on a first surface of a printed circuit board (PCB), and the adjustable resistor and the switch are connected in series between an adjustable probe of the ALS and the ground. A resistor is connected between two pads located on a second surface of the PCB via two probes touching the pads. A controller connected to the PCB reads a light sensitivity of the ALS and calculates a calculated resistance value of the adjustable resistor by a formula “detected light sensitivity/resistance value of the resistor=objective light sensitivity/resistance value of the adjustable resistor”, wherein the objective light sensitivity and the resistance value of the resistor are given.

  • Publication number: 20080011802
    Abstract: An exemplary cutting system (1) for a master liquid crystal panel includes a master liquid crystal panel (10) and two charge-coupled devices (12). The master liquid crystal panel includes four corners, and four alignment marks respectively provided at the corners. At least two of the alignment marks at two diagonal corners are different from each other, and the difference are selected from the group consisting of a difference in shape and a difference in distance from a center of the master liquid crystal panel. The charge-coupled devices are positioned adjacent to two adjacent corners of the mother liquid crystal panel at any one time, and are configured to detect and identify the alignment marks at such two adjacent corners. A related method for cutting the master liquid crystal panel is also provided.

  • Publication number: 20020096846
    Abstract: A scooter includes a bar transversely connected to the front end of the board and two L-shaped arms are pivotally connected to two ends of the bar. Two front wheels are respectively connected to the two arms. A shaft member has two rear wheels respectively connected to two ends of the shaft member and a U-shaped frame is connected to a top of the shaft member. A mediate member fixedly connected on an underside of the board is pivotally connected between two extensions of the U-shaped frame. When steering, the board is inclined and the rear wheels will not be lifted above the ground.
