  • Publication number: 20230064286
    Abstract: An electronic apparatus includes a main body, at least one fan in the main body, an audio receiving module on the main body, and a control module electrically connected to the audio receiving module and the fan. If the audio receiving module receives an activation command, the control module records an instant value of a rotation speed of the fan and controls the rotation speed to be decreased. After the rotation speed is reduced, if the audio receiving module receives a voice command within a predetermined time period, the electronic apparatus executes the voice command, and the control module controls the rotation speed to be returned to the instant value; if the audio receiving module does not receive the voice command within the predetermined time period, the control module controls the rotation speed to be returned to the instant value.

  • Patent number: 10616537
    Abstract: An illumination system including an excitation light source, a wavelength conversion element and a filter element is provided. The excitation light source is used for emitting an excitation beam. The wavelength conversion element has a wavelength conversion region. When the wavelength conversion region is cut into a transmission path of the excitation beam, the wavelength conversion region is excited by the excitation beam and emits a converted beam. A reference plane is perpendicular to the transmission path of the converted beam and is angled such that an acute angle is formed between the reference plane and the filter wheel which is disposed on a transmission path of the converted beam coming from the wavelength conversion element. The filter element allows a part of the converted beam to penetrate so as to output at least one color beam, and reflects another part of the converted beam.
