Abstract:
A method for adjusting white balance includes generating a first matrix according to values in axes of a color gamut corresponding to optical characteristics of a plurality of first LEDs; generating a second matrix according to values in the axes of the color gamut corresponding to optical characteristics of the plurality of first LEDs while in white balance; generating a third matrix according to values in the axes of the color gamut corresponding to optical characteristics of a plurality of second LEDs; storing the first matrix, second matrix, and third matrix; generating a calibration matrix by multiplying the second matrix with an inverse of the first matrix; generating a fourth matrix by multiplying the third matrix with the calibration matrix. As a result, the optical characteristics of the plurality of second LEDs can be effectively and rapidly adjusted simply referring to the differences between the second and fourth matrices.

Abstract:
The present invention relates to a fixing structure of the cord winding mount for window curtain, comprising a stationary block, an arbor gear, a winding drum, a positioning cover plate and a movable cover. The stationary block has been partitioned into left or right securing member, which could be correspondingly coupled with its arbor gear, winding drum and movable cover respectively, so as to construct the primary body of said cord winding mount thereof, where the primary method is to separate the positioning cover plate which has been designed as an independent type component, and then utilize the lower caulking groove to couple and fasten said positioning cover plate at a top end of said stationary block, so that the arc bracket at both ends of such positioning cover plate could be respectively fixed to and hence supporting at the position underneath the orbicular end locating at both top ends of the curtain rail rack, and the primary body of said cord winding mount will be able to be fixed at the right position thereto.

Abstract:
A multi-checkpoint type clustered animal counting device is proposed, which is capable of providing a counting function that can be used for statistically determining the number of animals (such as fruit flies) within a region such as farmland or garden. The proposed animal counting device is characterized by the utilized to at least two object sensors, wherein the first object sensor is disposed at a first checkpoint while the second object sensor is disposed at a second checkpoint, and wherein the first object sensor is initially set to power-on state while the second object sensor is initially set to power-off state and can be switched on only when the first object sensor is triggered. When the second object sensor is triggered, the counting operation will increase the output count number by one. This feature allows a more accurate result and can help save power consumption.
Abstract:
A wireless sensor network gateway unit is proposed, which is designed for integration to a wireless sensor network (WSN) for providing a gateway function with a failed link auto-redirecting capability for the wireless sensor network. The proposed WSN gateway unit is characterized by the provision of an failed link auto-redirecting capability, which can respond to the failure of any sensor node in the WSN system by performing a failed link auto-redirecting operation for redirecting the down-linked good sensor nodes for linking to a nearby good sensor node to thereby allow the down-linked good sensor nodes to be nevertheless able to transfer data to the WSN gateway unit of the invention. This feature allows the WSN gateway unit of the invention to maintain good operational reliability for the WSN system.

Abstract:
An antenna device including a substrate, a ground layer, a first feeding element, a second feeding element, a first control circuit and a second control circuit is provided. The substrate has a top surface and a lower surface. The ground layer disposed on the lower surface includes a first, a second and a third ground portions. The third ground portion is separated from the first and the second ground portions by a first and a second slots, respectively. The first and the second feeding elements include a first and a second conductive feeding lines, respectively. The first and the second conductive feeding lines cross over the first and the second slots and are electrically connected to the first and the second ground portions, respectively. The radiation pattern of the antenna device is variable by selectively operating the first, the second, the third and the fourth control circuits.
