  • Patent number: 10523057
    Abstract: The present application provides a wireless charging module and a modularized sensing device therewith. A first charging unit is disposed around the inside of the wireless charging module for wirelessly charging a sensing module. Without introducing a transmission line as an electricity transmitting medium, the sensing module can be directly disposed inside and charged by the wireless charging module, which improves flexibility of implementation. Further, since the first charging unit is configured to surround the inside of the wireless charging module shaped as a bowl structure, the sensing module can be simply disposed into the bowl structure and wirelessly charged by the surrounding first charging units, which saves the inconvenience of setting the sensing module to a specific location or area for stable wireless charging and increases effective charging angles.

  • Patent number: 9532186
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a bidirectional voice transmission system and a method thereof, wherein the system timing of the system is divided into three time slots for carrying a control signal, a broadcast voice signal and a mobile device voice signal. The bidirectional voice transmission system is able to carry out the signal transmission by way of frequency frogging, so as to effectively avoid the signal interference from occurring between any two different signal transmitting and receiving devices. Besides, all of the mobile devices can be added into the bidirectional voice transmission system by way of dynamic building, without using any specific communication interface. The most important is that, the number of node routers can be expanded to about 65,000 in order to apply the bidirectional voice transmission system in a huge range network communication or a wild rescue field.
