  • Patent number: 8282408
    Abstract: A lamp holder structure includes a base body, two electrode plates, a rotary shaft, a short-circuit part, and a cover. When multiple sets of lamp holder structures are used in serial connections, a shaft part of the rotary shaft is rotated by rotating a lamp-tube for the lamp holder structure. Conducting terminals of the lamp-tube are electrically contacted with the two electrode plates. Before rotating the lamp-tube, the short-circuit part is electrically contacted with the two electrode plates. After rotating the lamp-tube, the short-circuit part is electrically contacted with one of the two electrode plates. The electrical connection between the two electrode plates is achieved by the lamp-tube. When the lamp-tube is removed, the lamp-tube is rotated again, so that the short-circuit part is electrically contacted with the two electrode plates, and the two electrode plates are short-circuited. The power could be transmitted to the next lamp holder structure.

  • Publication number: 20120092862
    Abstract: Disclosed is a structure of light-emitting diode (LED) having high color rendering index, including a substrate on which at least one light emission element, at least one red light emission element, and at least one green light emission element are mounted. The light emission element emits blue light that is also applied to excite a fluorescent powder coated outside the light emission element to generate white light, which when mixed with red and green lights from the red and green light emission elements, form a light source of improved color rendering property. With the addition of the red and green light emission elements, the light projecting from the LED structure provides a color performance close to the natural light, allowing for perfect reproduction of the original color of an object and thereby improving conformableness and coordination of human perception without causing any lose of color genuineness of an object.

  • Patent number: 7863933
    Abstract: The present invention discloses a tri-state I/O port. The tri-state I/O port comprises a tri-state logic block, a weak buffer and a delay block. The input terminals of the tri-state logic block are connected to data and OE (output enable) signals. When OE signal is enabled, the output terminal of the tri-state I/O block is pulled high when the data is high while the output terminal is pulled low when the data is low. The input terminal and the output terminal of the weak buffer are connected to the output terminal of the tri-state logic block. And the input terminal of the delay block is connected to the output terminal of the tri-state logic block while the output terminal of the delay block is fed back to the tri-state logic block. When the output terminal of the tri-state logic block is low to high/high to low, the weak buffer is active and maintains the output terminal of the tri-state logic block weak high/low while the delay block turns off the pull high/low function of the tri-state logic block.
