  • Patent number: 9516984
    Abstract: A positioning system comprises a sweeper and a positioning device arranged on a ceiling. The sweeper has a lighting component for emitting light. The positioning device at least has a height measuring unit and a plurality of light-sensitive units. The positioning device measures a vertical distance between the positioning device and a floor through the height measuring unit. The positioning device receives the light emitted from the emitting light of the sweeper through the light-sensitive units, and calculates an oblique distance between the positioning device and the sweeper based on different strengths of the light respectively received from each of the plurality of light-sensitive units. Therefore, the positioning device can calculates a parallel distance between the positioning device and the sweeper based on the vertical distance and the oblique distance, and further determines a related position of the sweeper opposite to the positioning device.

  • Publication number: 20160345513
    Abstract: A plant cultivation apparatus includes a box, an illumination module, a thermoelectric cooling chip, a first heat dissipation module, and a second heat dissipation module. The box has a cover and a planting space. The cover has a first space and a second space separated from each other. The first space communicates with a surrounding environment. The second space communicates with the planting space. The illumination module assembled to the cover and located in the first space provides the planting space with light. The thermoelectric cooling chip assembled to the cover has a heating side located in the first space and a cooling side located in the second space. The first heat dissipation module located in the first space is thermally connected to the heating side and the illumination module. The second heat dissipation module located in the second space is thermally connected to the cooling side and the planting space.

  • Publication number: 20110043954
    Abstract: An electrostatic discharge (ESD) protection structure and an electronic device using the same are provided. The ESD protection structure includes a discharge structure and a conduction structure, wherein the discharge structure and the conduction structure respectively have a pointed end, and the pointed ends thereof are adjacent to each other. The discharge structure and the conduction structure are both disposed on a bottom side of a printed circuit board (PCB) substrate, wherein the conduction structure is connected to a ground line and the discharge structure is connected to a signal line disposed on a top side of the PCB substrate through a via. Therefore, the top side of the substrate is not required to save a layout region for disposing the ESD protection structure, and moreover an original ESD protection effect is still maintained.

  • Publication number: 20040107228
    Abstract: A method having a summary function for a calculator is proposed. The method is matched with the operation of software program to let the calculator have both the functions of accounts check and surplus calculation. First, data of the desired items selectively recorded by the user are stored in a memory. A summary mode is then entered into to check each piece of subtotal data one by one for use of accounting of one day or one week. Moreover, each piece of data in the memory can be summed up. Thereby, the convenience in use of the calculator can be enhanced for stores or shop employees.
