Abstract: An optical mouse system with an illumination guide includes a concave lens for spreading light to create a uniform, low contrast, illumination pattern. The uniform illumination pattern increases the accuracy of mouse movement detected by the sensor. The illumination source and optical sensor are mounted in the same plane, directly on the PCB. The higher angle of the optical path causes more light to be reflected to the optical sensor, increasing optical efficiency and allowing a smaller, lower powered LED to be used. This also results in increased sensitivity of the optical sensor. Lower power usage increases battery life for mobile or wireless-mouse use, while reducing thermal waste considerations. This allows the creation of a significantly smaller form factor for the overall package, thereby reducing materials costs and giving designers more flexibility for external design considerations.

Abstract: A wind power generator includes a cover, a front nose cone, a rear nose cone and a vane unit. The cover has a curved air-guiding portion. The front nose cone and the rear nose cone have a plurality of supporting pillars fixedly connected to the front portion and rear portion of the inner wall of the cover, respectively. The vane unit is provided between the front nose cone and the rear nose cone. After the wind enters the passage formed between the curved surface of the front nose cone and the front portion of the curved air-guiding portion of the cover, the wind speed is accelerated due to the narrowing of the flowing path, thereby to generate a larger kinetic energy to cause the rotation of the vane unit. In this way, the generator within the rear nose cone obtains a greater capacity of generating electricity. Further, the generator can be still activated even under a lower wind speed.

Abstract: A wind guiding hood for wind power generation includes a frame, a wind guiding hood, a turbine and a wind direction detector. The turbine is installed in the wind guiding hood, and the wind guiding hood is pivotally connected into the frame. After the wind direction detector installed on the wind guiding hood detects a change in wind direction, a correct wind direction signal is transmitted to an actuator installed on the frame to drive the actuator to control the turning direction of the wind guiding hood and adjust the wind surface, so that the wind guiding hood can obtain a larger wind load for the turbine to generate electric power.

Abstract: An optical mouse system with a high-angle optical path features small size and low power consumption. The illumination source and optical sensor are mounted in the same plane, directly on the PCB. The higher angle of the optical path causes more light to be reflected to the optical sensor, increasing optical efficiency and allowing a smaller, lower powered LED to be used. This also results in increased sensitivity of the optical sensor, allowing use of the mouse on surfaces on which conventional optical mice cannot function adequately. Sensitivity can be further increased by optional isolation of the optical sensor and illumination source. Lower power usage increases battery life for mobile or wireless-mouse use, while reducing thermal waste considerations. This allows the creation of a significantly smaller form factor for the overall package, thereby reducing materials costs and giving designers more flexibility for external design considerations.
