  • Publication number: 20110049225
    Abstract: A food container includes a bowl body, a first cover, a first tear portion, and an eating utensil. The bowl body has a first opening, is made of a first heat-insulating material, and is used for accommodating contents. The first cover is made of a second heat-insulating material, and covers the bowl body, in which the first cover is connected to the bowl body, and includes a sealing portion for placing an additive into the bowl body. The first tear portion is located at a connection position between the bowl body and the first cover, and the first tear portion is torn to separate the bowl body from the first cover. The eating utensil is located at the first cover.

  • Publication number: 20100320261
    Abstract: A dual-purpose food container includes a first bowl body, a second bowl body, and a tear portion. The first bowl body has a first opening, is made of a first heat-insulating material, and is used for accommodating contents. The second bowl body has a second opening and is made of a second heat-insulating material, in which the second opening faces the first opening such that the second bowl body covers the first bowl body and the second bowl body is connected to the first bowl body. The tear portion is located at a connection position between the first bowl body and the second bowl body, and the tear portion is torn to separate the first bowl body from the second bowl body, so that the first bowl body and the second bowl body are respectively used to serve food and soup, thereby achieving a dual purpose.

  • Publication number: 20090268023
    Abstract: A surveillance camera device with a light source is composed of a camera, a control unit which is connected to the camera, a light-source control unit which is connected to the control unit, and a light source. The control unit directly gets the illumination of images captured by the camera or its related parameters, to determine whether illumination of the environment of image captured is sufficient. When the illumination of the environment of image captured is changed, the control unit will send lighting control signal to the light-source control unit to activate or deactivate the light source, or adjust the light output intensity of the light source automatically, such that the illumination of the environment of the images captured can be accurately determined to provide the correct light fill-in for shooting clear images.

  • Publication number: 20090262214
    Abstract: An automatic lighting control apparatus is composed of an optical lens, an image sensor, an image processing unit which is connected to the image sensor, a lighting control unit which is connected to the image processing unit. By use the optical lens and image sensor, the automatic lighting control apparatus can easily capture the images of lighting area of the lighting apparatuses. To process and analysis the images of the lighting area via the image processing unit, the illumination of the images or its related parameters is get and used as the reference for the automatic lighting control apparatus to control the magnitude of light output of the lighting apparatuses to provide sufficient lighting while avoiding unnecessary energy consumption.

  • Publication number: 20080007628
    Abstract: The present invention provides an adaptive CCTV camera system that includes an optical sensing unit, an image processing unit, an optical lens set, a memory unit, a microprocessor and at least one automatic control unit. With this structural configuration, the microprocessor which is respectively connected with the image processing unit and at least one automatic control unit, executes the logic program coded in the microprocessor and automatically generates the adjusting information as a correcting reference toward the pre-specified operating parameters stored in the memory unit. Thus, the optimum set of operating parameters is formed in the image processing unit for further operation free of manual adjustments. Therefore, the present invention facilitates use in various environment and conditions, and provides stable image capture function.
