Abstract: A lamp includes a base, light emitting diodes and a transparent covering unit. The base has a convexly curved surface. The transparent covering unit has a convexly curved surface on a first side, and several outwardly facing flat sections on an opposite second side, which is faced with the convexly curved surface of the base. The light emitting diodes are arranged on the convexly curved surface of the base to be each perpendicular to a corresponding one of the flat sections; thus, light emitted from the light emitting diodes can be refracted to focus when passing through the transparent covering unit, providing increased illumination.

Abstract: A storage cabinet comprised of an upper cover, a frame, a base, a back mirror, and a rear panel. The frame is fabricated of steel tubing (hollow metal tubes) and active hinges are installed on the frame to provide for its folding, thereby simplifying packaging material cost. Slide slots are formed along the top edges of lateral frame members that provide for the installation and positioning of the back mirror and the rear panel. The overall design of the present invention reduces components to a bare minimum and is safe, convenient, facilitates DIY assembly, and lowers import and export shipping costs.

Abstract: A reflective/transmissive scanner having a transmissive mode light source that is synchronously moved with the image-retrieving device. The scanner is provided with a scanner body having an upper surface with slots formed therethrough and a first transparent plate disposed in an aperture in the upper surface of the scanner body on which an object to be scanned is placed. A second transparent plate is provided in the lower surface of the scanner lid, corresponding slots being formed in the second transparent plate. A first support frame is disposed within the scanner body, with a reflective light source and an image retrieving device disposed thereupon, and a second support frame is disposed within the scanner lid, with a transmissive mode light source disposed thereupon.

Abstract: An optical scanner for retrieving digital images of opaque and transmissive objects. The scanner of the present invention includes a scanner body, a docking port, and a removable scanning platform. An object to be scanned is placed on the scanning platform, which is subsequently loaded into scanner body for scanning. Inside the scanner body, a sensor module, including a first light source and an image-retrieving device, is disposed above the docked scanning platform; a support frame, on which is disposed a second light source, is disposed below the docked scanning platform. A connecting rod engages the sensor module and the support frame, and a driving device synchronously moves the sensor module and the support frame along a longitudinal axis. In a first embodiment, the scanning platform can include an adhesive tape for adhering an opaque object to be scanned to the surface of the scanning platform.

Abstract: An individual information protecting card is formed by multiple image frequency transformation of the invention is a system utilizing a simplicity of bar cade and an image property of hologram in complexity which is a frequency card being simple in construction. Data to be recorded to the protecting card utilizes an image-based system different from existing numeric cipher code-based system. The image to be used can use not only use a binary image for letters, but also can use continuous grey level as photograph. However, the difference is not in the frequency card exposed externally. Accordingly, expansion to image protecting form is possible and application to a system for managing an information by allocating special image information by individual and by article list is possible. Output of card construction system is made by a reading card possessed by a system operator, a resolution card for increasing of resolution, and user's card being a protecting card.
