    Abstract: An optical detection device is applied to an optical finger navigation apparatus and suitable for a variety of appearance demands in order to simplify product qualification procedure. The optical detection device includes a substrate, a housing, an optical sensor and a cover. The housing is disposed on the substrate and comprising a first aperture. The optical sensor is disposed on the substrate and adapted to receive an optical signal through the first aperture. The cover is disposed on the housing to cover the first aperture. The cover has a first surface and a second surface opposite to each other. The first surface with a contour matched with a shape of the housing is attached to the housing, and the second surface with a contour manufactured for a predefined appearance demand does not affect conjunction between the housing and the cover.

    Abstract: There is provided an optical accelerometer including a first substrate, a second substrate, a spacer and a processing unit. The first substrate includes a frame, a movable member and at least one elastic member. Periodic slots are formed on the movable member along at least one direction to be served as a diffraction grating. The elastic member is connected between the frame and the movable member. The second substrate includes at least one sensing unit configured to detect a diffraction pattern formed by the diffraction grating. The spacer is disposed between the first substrate and the second substrate to define a predetermined height. The processing unit is coupled to the sensing unit and configured to calculate a 3D acceleration according to the diffraction pattern.

    Abstract: The disclosure is related to a system for obstacle detection adapted to a self-guiding machine. The system includes a controller for driving the system, a light emitter, and a light sensor. The light emitter and the light sensor are set apart at a distance. When the light emitter emits an indicator light being a vertical linear light projected onto a path the self-guiding machine travels toward, the light sensor senses the indicator light. The vertical linear light is segmented into a first segment projected to a ground and a second segment projected to a floating obstacle when the self-guiding machine approaches the floating obstacle with a height from the ground and the indicator light is projected to the floating obstacle, in which the second segment of the light sensed by the light sensor is determined as the floating obstacle in front of the self-guiding machine.

    Abstract: A pressure measuring method, applied to a pressure measuring apparatus, comprising: measuring a first pressure sensing value when the pressure measuring apparatus operates at a first scan frequency and receives a first pressure; and measuring a second pressure sensing value when the pressure measuring apparatus operates a second scan frequency and receives the first pressure. The first pressure sensing value and the second pressure sensing value are different, and a change between the first pressure sensing value and the second pressure sensing value is according to a change between the first scan frequency and the second scan frequency. The first scan frequency and the second scan frequency are different. The pressure measuring method can further comprise a calibrating mechanism to compensate the sensed pressure. By this way, the pressure sensing value can be calibrated, to solve the issue that the pressure sensing values are affected by scan frequencies.
