Abstract: An image sensing device and a control device of an illumination device thereof are provided. The control device includes a control circuit, an operation circuit, and multiple driving signal generators. The control circuit generates multiple control signals. The operation circuit performs a logical operation on the control signals and an image capturing signal to generate multiple operation results. The driving signal generator respectively provides multiple driving signals to the illumination device according to the operation results, and the driving signals respectively have multiple different output powers.

Abstract: The present invention is a protective cover opening mechanism for cassette loading and unloading apparatus of a digital compact cassette (DCC) or analog compact cassette (ACC). The apparatus consists of a sliding plate, a turning arm, a spline, and a stretching spring. The end surface of the sliding plate has an inclined plane with a concave channel at its bottom with an end part with the first pulling hook. There is a sliding slot on the sliding plate and the spline is fitted into this sliding slot. The spline shaft is attached to one end of the turning arm. The turning arm has a second pulling hook and there is a stretching spring connected between the first and second pulling hooks. The turning arm has a fixed pin, which when a DCC is inserted moves the fixed pin along the inclined plane of the sliding plate and while moving opens the protective cover. If an ACC is inserted, the fixed pin slides along the outer edge only and does not affect the ACC at all.

Abstract: A compact cassette recorder capable of loading digital or analogue cassettes which comprises: (a) a cassette holder which is dimensioned for insertion of a digital or an analogue compact cassette; (b) a base plate mounted in the cassette holder, the base plate being disposed in a parallel relationship with respect to the digital or analogue cassette when the latter is inserted inside the cassette holder; (c) a guiding slot formed on the base plate; (d) a pin mounted in the base plate and is slidable along the guiding slot, the pin has a projecting height which is slight less than the depth of the recessed region of the digital cassette so as to allow the pin to move into the recessed region and in contact with an edge of the digital cassette cover when the digital cassette is inserted into the cassette holder; and (e) a return spring for retaining the pin in the initial position until the pin is being pushed.
