  • Patent number: 8203456
    Abstract: A fire detecting system includes a plurality of detectors, and a computing unit coupled to the detectors. The detectors are configured for generating a plurality of detecting values, respectively. For each of the detectors, the detecting value is equal to a first predetermined value when a fire state is detected thereby, and is equal to a second predetermined value when otherwise. The computing unit sets a weight value for each of the detectors and a threshold value, and is configured to perform a weight correcting method for correcting the weight value of each of the detectors based on accuracy of operation of the detectors.

  • Publication number: 20110106424
    Abstract: A human-machine interface apparatus and a navigation method provide navigation information to users according to data provided by a location system. The human-machine interface apparatus comprises a pointing module and a microcontroller unit. The pointing module comprises a pointer. The microcontroller unit receives a first directing point, a second directing point and a third directing point obtained by the location system performing a vision-navigation operation, and deflects the pointer to a first angle, a second angle and a third angle when a vehicle location data reaches to the first, second and third directing points respectively. The third angle is larger than the second angle, and the second angle is larger than the first angle.

  • Publication number: 20110054773
    Abstract: An exemplary electronic blind-navigation device suitable for being arranged on a carrier includes an information receiving interface, a guiding interface, a direction detecting device and a processing circuit. The direction detecting device is configured for detecting a direction pointed by the carrier to obtain a pointing direction information. The processing circuit is configured for receiving the pointing direction information and a navigation information supplied from a navigation device. The navigation information includes a traveling direction information. The processing circuit is further configured for determining whether two directions supplied by the pointing direction information and the traveling direction information are the same. When the two directions thereof are the same, the processing circuit controls the guiding interface to send out at least one of a touch guiding signal and a voice guiding signal. Furthermore, an electronic blind-navigation cane having the same is also provided.
