  • Patent number: 8242391
    Abstract: The present invention provides a switch that is equipped with a driving device for establishing electrical connection and adapted to a power supplying apparatus, and a power supplying apparatus provided with the same. The power supplying apparatus has a main body, an output port, a voltage-selecting circuit and a switch for commanding the voltage selecting circuit to select the output voltage that is to be output via the output port. The switch has a plurality of resilient conductive terminals and at least one driving device. The insertion of a driving device will selectively establish electrical connection among some of the resilient conductive terminals, enabling the switch to form a circuit for adjusting the output voltage of the power supplying apparatus.

  • Patent number: 8171129
    Abstract: A smart endpoint and a smart monitoring system having the smart endpoint are provided. The smart endpoint includes a central processing unit (CPU), an interface module, a digital signal processing unit, and a memory module. The interface module is coupled to the CPU for receiving a plurality of heterogeneous monitoring signals and an identification code. The digital signal processing unit is coupled to the CPU for integrally considering the monitoring signals and the identification code to determine an abnormal event, and generate an abnormal event data thereby. The memory module is coupled to the CPU for recording the abnormal event data. As such, the present invention is adapted to determine an occurrence of an abnormal event, by which the passive monitoring can be upgraded to an active monitoring and analyzing, and thus achieving a smart monitoring.

  • Patent number: 8081215
    Abstract: Disclosed is a tagging and path reconstruction method utilizing unique identification characteristics and the system thereof. The tagging and path reconstruction system comprises a plurality of readers for reading identification information having unique IDs, a plurality of cameras for taking object's image data, and a server. The server includes an identifying and tagging module, an interlaced fusion and identification module, and a path reconstruction module. The identifying and tagging module identifies and tags the object image data with unique IDs. The interlaced fusion and identification module filters, checks and updates the tagged object image data. The path reconstruction module recovers the tagged object image data, lets them regress to their original identity data, and reconstructs the motion path of each object.

  • Publication number: 20100163391
    Abstract: The identification switch assembly according to the present invention has an identification switch and at least one driving card for driving the switch. The identification switch has a plurality of conductive electrodes, each having a conductive contact portion, and a plurality of resilient conductive terminals configured to be flexibly movable between an engaged position where they engage with the conductive electrodes and a disengaged position where they are away from the conductive electrodes. The driving card functions as a driving device for driving at least one of the resilient conductive terminals to flexibly switch its position from one of the engaged position and the disengaged position to the other. The identification switch assembly has the advantages of having a simple structure, being user friendly and being mountable to electronic devices and public facilities.
