  • Patent number: 8982919
    Abstract: A laser light source module includes a laser source, a connecting unit, a controlled switch unit, and a verification unit. When a verification signal is received, the verification unit judges whether the verification signal complies with a verifying condition. If the verification signal complies with the verifying condition, the controlled switch unit is in the on state, so that a first output voltage is transmitted to the laser source through the controlled switch unit to drive illumination of the laser source. Whereas, if the verification signal does not comply with the verifying condition, the controlled switch unit is in the off state, so that the first output voltage fails to be transmitted to the laser source through the controlled switch unit and the laser source is turned off.

  • Publication number: 20140247213
    Abstract: A cursor-control device is provided for an electrical device having a display unit. The cursor-control device includes a button, an image-capture unit and a processing unit. The image-capture unit obtains a screen from the display unit. The processing unit determines cursor coordinates according to the screen, detects the number of times the button has been pressed and released, and determines whether to transmit a double-click signal to the electrical device according to the number of times of the button switching. When the button becomes pressed or released, the number of times of the button switching increases by one. Also, when the number of times of the button switching reaches two, the processing unit stores the cursor coordinates.

  • Patent number: 7801345
    Abstract: The method is performed in a computer and includes acts of importing medical image data sets of an object, selecting regions of interest of the object in each medical image data set, processing the medical image data and constructing an optimal symmetry plane. The act of selecting the regions of interest of the object in each medical image data set defines the regions of interest of the object in each medical image data set and locates the regions of interest of the object in each medical image data set. The act of processing the medical image data executes an error equation and obtains optimal parameters of the optimal symmetry plane with a symmetry value. The act of constructing an optimal symmetry plane constructs an optimal symmetry plane with the obtained optimal parameters. Based on the discovered Optimal Symmetry Plane, slanted images from medical imaging can be rectified.
