  • Patent number: 9563055
    Abstract: Disclosed herein are a Lissajous dual-axial scan component and a scan frequency generation method thereof. The Lissajous dual-axial scan component scans at a fast-axial resonant frequency and a slow-axial resonant frequency. A fast-axial bias frequency and a slow-axial bias frequency are determined according to the fast-axial resonant frequency and the slow-axial resonant frequency. Fast-axial positive integers and slow-axial positive integers are determined according to a system frequency, the fast-axial bias frequency, and the slow-axial bias frequency. An irreducible fraction is determined according to the fast-axial positive integers and the slow-axial positive integers as a ratio of the fast-axial bias frequency to the slow-axial bias frequency less than 10. A scan trace repetition frequency greater than 24 Hz is determined according to the irreducible fraction in order that the Lissajous dual-axial scan component scans according to the scan trace repetition frequency.

  • Patent number: 9390570
    Abstract: A virtual touch-control lock includes a processing module electrically connected to a latch device. A storage module, at least one image pick up device, and an input platform including a transparent or non-transparent non-touch-control screen are electrically connected to the processing module. The input platform is configured to permit a user to proceed with handwriting on the input platform and/or touching the input platform. The at least one image pick up device picks up a handwriting trace of the handwriting and/or the touching sequence. The handwriting trace and/or the touching sequence is transmitted to the processing module and is compared with authorized door-opening identification information stored in the storage module. The identification result is used to control movement of a latch of the latch device from the latching position to the unlatching position or to permit the latch to move from the latching position to the unlatching position.

  • Patent number: 9197790
    Abstract: An optical scanning projection module includes a scanning light component including a plurality of sub light sources and at least one light-splitting element, a main light reflective element, a scanning element and a photosensitive element. Sub light beams of the sub light sources are converged to form a main light beam. One of the sub light beams travels to the light-delivering element to form a partial reflective light beam and a partial penetrating light beam. With a scanning manner, the partial reflective light beam or the partial penetrating light beam is reflected by the scanning element to be an inspection light, and the main light beam is reflected by the scanning element to be a projection light. The photosensitive element outputs a sensing signal according to the inspection light. Thus, the optical scanning projection module controls the operation of the scanning light component according to the sensing signal.

  • Patent number: 8670170
    Abstract: An optical scanning projection system includes a scanning light source component, a second reflecting element, a transparent element, a scanning element, a photosensitive element and a control module. The transparent element receives a main light beam emitted by the scanning light source component and reflects a part of the main light beam to be a reflected light. The reflected light is reflected by the second reflecting element, and the scanning element reflects the reflected light from the second reflecting element in a scanning manner. The photosensitive element receives the reflected light from the scanning element and outputs a sensing signal, and the control module actuates or stops actuating the scanning light source component according to the sensing signal. Therefore, when the scanning element is damaged, the control module may instantly stop actuating the scanning light source component, thereby enhancing the using safety of the optical scanning projection system.
