  • Patent number: 8925572
    Abstract: A connecting structure of a faucet body and a control valve contains a faucet body, a fixing cylinder, a guiding seat, a control valve, and an outlet pipe. The faucet body includes a first segment, a second segment, a positioning rim, and a receiving space. The fixing cylinder is fitted into the faucet body and includes a circular cavity, an orifice, and two apertures. The guiding seat is disposed in the circular cavity and includes two grooves and two inlets. The control valve is inserted into the receiving space from the first segment of the faucet body, and a bottom end of the control valve is biased against the guiding seat. The outlet pipe couples with the faucet body and communicates with the guiding seat. Thereby, the guiding seat and the control valve are fixed in the faucet body, and a shape of the faucet body is geometrical and variable.

  • Patent number: 7566859
    Abstract: An IR switching device, electrically connected to an apparatus, is provided. The IR switching device comprises an IR transmitter, an IR receiver, a processor, a controller. The IR transmitter is configured to emit an IR signal. The IR receiver is configured to receive a reflected IR signal to generate a response signal accordingly, wherein the reflected IR signal is generated after the IR signal is reflected and the response signal comprising a first signal as the IR receiver receives the reflected IR signal while the response signal comprising a second signal as the IR receiver does not receives the reflected IR signal. The processor is configured to process the response signal and for generating a processing signal after processing the response signal. The controller is configured to switch the apparatus according to the processing signal. One of an emission power of the IR transmitter and a reception power of the IR receiver is adjustable according to the distance requirement.

  • Patent number: 7048406
    Abstract: A mirror device includes one or more light devices disposed behind a mirror, to generate lights to light the mirror. A remote detecting device may be used to detect whether one or more users go toward or go close to the mirror or not, and to actuate the light device to generate the lights when the users are detected to go toward the mirror. The light device may thus be actuated to light the mirror without being contacted by the users or without being operated by the users manually. A control device may be used to actuate the light device to generate the light. The remote detecting device includes a light emitting device to generate a light to detect whether the user goes toward the mirror or not.
