  • Publication number: 20130170203
    Abstract: A light-emitting diode (LED) array light source includes a substrate, a meshed light-shielding layer, LED chips, and a micro-lens array. The meshed light-shielding layer includes bar-shaped light-shielding patterns intersected with one another to define openings. Each bar-shaped light-shielding pattern has a bottom surface, a top surface, and two side surfaces. A width of the top surface is smaller than that of the bottom surface. A thickness of the meshed light-shielding layer is T1. Each LED chip is exclusively located in one of the openings. The micro-lens array covers the substrate, the meshed light-shielding layer, and the LED chips and includes micro-lenses arranged in array. Each micro-lens includes a base portion and a lens portion, and is disposed corresponding to one of the openings, respectively. A vertical distance from a top portion of each micro-lens to the bottom surface is T2, and 0.278?T1/T2?0.833.

  • Patent number: 7959802
    Abstract: A water purification system performs a water purification process through physical sterilization, and at least includes a compression device and a decompression device. Water is converted into a high-pressure liquid through the compression device, and then is converted into a high-speed fluid by controlling the cross-sectional area of a spout of the decompression device, thus generating physical effects such as pressure drop and shear stress, so as to damage cell walls of bacteria in the liquid to die-off the bacteria. Therefore, purified water is obtained.

  • Patent number: 6719610
    Abstract: A particulate grinding method and device applies different force fields to drive the grinding medium and the particulates move in different routes but collide only at a grinding area so that they are separated naturally without conventional screening mechanisms, such as a screen or a gap, and prevented from the limitation of mechanical size of the components. Moreover, the invention is applicable to finer particulates. The circulation of particulates is not limited by any small gap of screening mechanisms, so the particulates ill not block the separator.
