Abstract: The present invention relates to a method for testing a retinal implant. After an implantable device for interfacing with retinal cells is provided, an external stimulus is applied to the implantable device so that the implantable device transmits a first pulse to a processing device through a wireless interface. When a conversion unit is controlled to gradually decrease an output voltage until the implantable device outputs an output voltage lower than a reference voltage, the implantable device transmits a signal different from the first pulse to the processing device through the wireless interface. The processing device determines a current value of a pixel unit according to a time difference between the first pulse and the signal.

Abstract: An object detector including a light-emitting system to emit light to an object, a light detector, a signal detector, and a threshold adjuster. The light detector receives the light emitted from the light-emitting system and reflected by the object, and output a signal. The signal detector detects the signal output from the light detector based on a threshold value of voltage. The threshold adjuster changes the threshold value between when the light-emitting system emits light to a part of a light-emission range of the light-emitting system and when the light-emitting system emits light to other part of the light-emission range other than the part of the light-emission range.

Abstract: A system, apparatus and method of improved measurement of the SPF factor of sunscreen compositions. In one embodiment, a method of measuring the protection of a sunscreen composition includes exposing skin to a known intensity of light, measuring the amount of remitted light from the skin, applying sunscreen to the skin, exposing the skin to which the sunscreen has been applied the known intensity of emitted light of the spectrum of light from which the sunscreen is intended to protect the skin, measuring the amount of light remitted from the skin, and calculating a UltraViolet-A Protection Factor (UVA-PF) of the sunscreen by comparing the amount of light remitted from the skin with the sunscreen to the amount of light remitted from the skin without the sunscreen.

Abstract: An electronic device with automatic screen-cleaning function includes a film attached to a flexible display screen. The film includes heat-sensitive projections, light detection units, and heating circuit. Each light detection unit can detect a brightness value of light under the flexible display screen. The detected brightness value is evaluated against a predefined brightness value. When the detected brightness value does not equal the predefined brightness value, at least one electrical resistance heater element is controlled to generate heat, causing one of projections to bulge from the film. The bulging projection pushes out the flexible display screen, thus making dust or other external contaminant fall from the flexible display screen.

Abstract: A sensitivity parameter storing portion stores, as known sensitivity parameters owned by a flame sensor, reference received light quantity, reference pulse width, probability of regular discharge, and probabilities of non-regular discharge in advance. The discharge probability is calculated based on the number of drive pulses applied to the flame sensor and the number of discharges determined to have occurred in the flame sensor having received the drive pulses. The calculated discharge probability and the known sensitivity parameters are used to calculate the received light quantity per unit time received by the flame sensor.

Abstract: A power saving welding helmet includes a helmet shell and a lens device. The helmet shell includes a mounting hole to contain the lens device. The lens device has an inner surface and an outer surface, and includes a magnetic sensor, a filter control unit, and a filter lens. The control logic module controls the filter lens according to magnetic signals generated by the magnetic sensor. The filter lens includes a first LCD panel and a second LCD panel respectively controlled by different control signals. Therefore, a refresh time of the first LCD panel and a refresh time of the second LCD panel do not synchronize. A welder does not feel the first LCD panel or the second LCD panel flashing, and the welding experiences this as consistent darkness.
