  • Patent number: 8632199
    Abstract: A lamp apparatus include a lamp body, at least an alternating current light-emitting diode and a plug. The alternating current light-emitting diode is disposed on a lamp body. The plug is electrically connected to the alternating current light-emitting diode. In lamp apparatuses utilizing AC LED, heat generated thereby is almost concentrated on chips. Compared with conventional lamp apparatuses utilizing DC LEDs, heat generated thereby is distributed on chips and outer rectifier. In lamp apparatuses utilizing AC LEDs, heat generated thereby is almost concentrated on chips because AC LEDs operate directly with AC electric power, omitting a rectifier and preventing power loss during operation of power rectification. Therefore, the heat accumulated on the chips of the AC LEDs is enough to be used to evaporate essential oil. In another embodiment, the invention utilizes low-resistance pure water surrounding the AC LED to dissipate its heat.

    Abstract: An anti-counterfeiting system and method for an e-ticket are disclosed. The anti-counterfeiting system includes a ticket service center, a handheld device, a ticket checking device, and a database. The ticket checking device identifies the e-ticket information shown on a display of the handheld device at least twice. The e-ticket is verified by using the handheld device to execute a ticket software including an e-ticket service. The handheld device obtains at least one e-ticket information from the ticket service center via a network link. When the display of the handheld device shows that the e-ticket information is read by the ticket checking device and is verified by the database, the ticket service center transmits an e-ticket verification information to the handheld device, and the display of the handheld device then shows the e-ticket information for the ticket checking device to check again.

  • Patent number: 8538741
    Abstract: A method and apparatus that partitions a single display's viewable area into at least two virtual viewable areas, and emulates the at least two virtual viewable areas as at least two emulated physical displays with an operating system such that the operating system behaves as if interfacing with at least two actual independent physical displays. The method provides the operating system with generated display identification data (such as “EDID”) for each of the emulated physical displays in response to a query from the operating system. The method and apparatus also receive notification of an interrupt (where the interrupt corresponds to the single physical display), and reports to the operating system with at least two sets of interrupt reporting information, corresponding to the at least two emulated physical displays, as if two interrupts were received. The operating system is thereby “faked” into acting as if two physical displays are in operation.
