Publication number: 20080300816Abstract: An anomaly detection system and a method thereof are disclosed. The system comprises at least a light reflecting unit, a light-emitting unit, an image pick-up unit and a processing module. Each of the light reflecting unit is disposed on an object-to-be-detected that all of which are capable of reflecting light emitted from the light-emitting unit and thus cooperatively generating a reflection image relating to the object-to-be-detected to be received by the image pick-up unit for enabling the same to generate an image signal accordingly.

Publication number: 20080069689Abstract: A centrifugal fan apparatus is disclosed in the present invention. The characteristics of the centrifugal fan apparatus lies in that the width of airflow channel defined between the rim of the impeller and the inner wall of the housing accommodating the impeller is uniform, and two airflow spaces defined between the axial cross section of the impeller and upper housing and lower housing respectively are not symmetry. Due to these two characteristics, the centrifugal fan apparatus is capable of making larger pressure difference to inducing higher flow rate and reducing noise while the centrifugal fan apparatus is operated. The present invention also provides a dust-collecting module that is formed by adopting the centrifugal fan apparatus with a designed dust-collecting casing, which is capable of being a sucker of a vacuum cleaner to collect dust of the surroundings for the purpose of environment cleaning.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 28, 2006Publication date: March 20, 2008Applicant: INDUSTRIAL TECHNOLOGY RESEARCH INSTITUTEInventors: Yann-Shuoh Sun, Yu-Liang Chung, Jiing-Fu Chen, Tung-Chuan Wu, Chun-Hsien Liu
