  • Patent number: 7903295
    Abstract: A method and a device for automatic capturing of a static image. The automatic static image-capturing device is a scanner. The method includes the following steps. Any changes on a scanning platform are monitored. If a change in the static image on the scanning platform is detected, the change is gauged for a preset time interval to check for any further change during this time interval. If no further change is detected within this time interval, a preset operation is triggered.

  • Publication number: 20060269448
    Abstract: An apparatus for monitoring specific substances in a fluid is provided. The apparatus of the present invention includes a housing, a tray, transmission means, a cylindrical transparent reservoir, a cylindrical holder having a plurality of hollow frames around the surrounding thereof each of which holding a test paper, and an optical scanning assembly. The tray is disposed in the housing and rotated by the transmission means. The cylindrical transparent reservoir contains a fluid sample to be analyzed and is held on the tray so as to synchronously rotate with the tray. The cylindrical holder is disposed in the cylindrical transparent reservoir. The optical scanning assembly is fastened beside the cylindrical transparent reservoir for capturing an image of a pattern displayed on each test paper in response to at least one specific substance in the fluid sample upon rotating the cylindrical transparent reservoir and converting the image into electronic signals.

  • Patent number: 6655596
    Abstract: A scanning apparatus utilizing gravity acceleration for scanning is provided. The scanning apparatus comprises a U-shaped housing, a shaft bearing, a housing and a scanning head. The shaft bearing passes through the housing with two ends thereof respectively and rotationally fastened on two sidewalls of the U-shaped housing, thereby the housing is vertically and rotationally fastened in the U-shaped housing. The scanning head is disposed in the housing with an engageable piece engaged with a hook-shaped element of the housing so as to fasten the scanning head at a predetermined position close to the top end of the housing. When the scanning head is going to scan, the engagement between the engageable piece and the hook-shaped element is released and a starting power is applied to the scanning head by gravity acceleration. Thereby the scanning head is guided to move downward to scan via cooperation between a guiding piece and a guiding rail.
