  • Publication number: 20070141887
    Abstract: A waterproof electrical power connector is provided. The male member of the connector includes magnetic core surrounded with a winding, and the female member of the connector includes a winding and has a hollow for receiving the male member. As the male member is inserted into the female member and a current passes through the male member winding, the induced magnetic flux is coupled to the female member winding, which accordingly induces current in the female member.

  • Patent number: 6927911
    Abstract: The light-guide module for emitting particular polarized light beams includes a splitter for separating non-polarized light beams, a transformer for converting polarization of light beams, and a non-polarized light source. The non-polarized light source emits light beams. Particular polarized light beams pass the splitter and other light beams are reflected by the splitter. Polarizations of reflected light beams and of light beams emitted by the non-polarized light source are converted by the transformer so as to separate the light beams later. Thus the light-guide module for emitting particular polarized light beams loses relatively little light energy.
