  • Patent number: 10505344
    Abstract: A system and method for providing laser diodes with broad spectrum is described. GaN-based laser diodes with broad or multi-peaked spectral output operating are obtained in various configurations by having a single laser diode device generating multiple-peak spectral outputs, operate in superluminescence mode, or by use of an RF source and/or a feedback signal. In some other embodiments, multi-peak outputs are achieved by having multiple laser devices output different lasers at different wavelengths.

  • Patent number: 10043390
    Abstract: The present invention provides a parking space sensor, which comprises a sensing module, a control unit, and a trigger module. The sensing module senses the status of a parking space and generates a sensing signal. When the parking space sensor, and hence the trigger module, is flipped over, the trigger module triggers the control unit to perform an initialization procedure, in which the control unit transmits an initialization signal to the sensing module for initializing the sensing module. Thereby, the status of the parking space can be sensed and a sensing signal can be generated. Then the control unit produces a piece of parking space information according to the sensing signal.
