Abstract:
An exemplary driving circuit for a light-emitting diode having a positive terminal includes a resistor having first terminal and second terminal, a field-effect transistor, and a width-pulse modulation circuit. The second terminal of the resistor is connected to the positive terminal of the light-emitting diode. The field-effect transistor includes a source electrode and a gate electrode, the source electrode being connected to the first terminal of the resistor. The pulse-width modulation circuit is configured for modulating a voltage across the resistor so as to control the grate electrode of the field-effect transistor.
Abstract:
A light guide plate (12) has a light incidence surface (121) for receiving light, a light emitting surface (123) for emitting light, and a bottom surface (122). The bottom surface has a plurality of diffusion elements (124) arranged thereat. Each diffusion element defines a diffraction grating unit (125) therein. A grating direction of each diffraction grating unit is substantially perpendicular to a main direction of light beams received by the diffraction grating unit. Areas of the diffraction grating units progressively increase with increasing distance away from the light incidence surface. Diffractive capabilities of the diffraction grating units progressively increase with increasing distance away from the light incidence surface. These features improve the overall efficiency of utilization of light, and enable the light emitting surface to output highly uniform light.

An exemplary photo-electronic frequency multiplier (100) includes an intervening optical signal generator (10), a pair of photo-electronic conversion circuits (21, 22), a differential amplifier circuit (30), and a signal processing circuit (40). The intervening optical signal generator includes a light source (11), a first mirror (12), a first reflector (14), a second reflector (15), an optical phase modulator (16), and a second mirror (13). The intervening optical signal generator is for generating two intervening optical signals. Each photo-electronic conversion circuit is for converting one intervening optical signal into an electronic signal. The differential amplifier circuit is for multiplying the difference between the two electronic signals and outputting an amplifying signal. The signal processing circuit is for processing the amplifying signal to generate a signal having a plurality of frequency multiplications.
Abstract:
A heat pipe (20) includes a pipe (21), a wick (22), and an operating fluid. The wick is a capillary structure including a carbon nanotube layer, and is fixed to an inside wall of the pipe. The operating fluid is sealed in the pipe and soaks into the wick. The operating fluid includes a pure liquid, and a plurality of nanometer-scale particles uniformly suspended in the pure liquid. The nanometer-scale particles can be carbon nanocapsules (30) or particles of a metal (32) with high thermal conductivity. Each carbon nanocapsule can further have a metal with high thermal conductivity filled therein. The carbon nanotube layer contains carbon nanotubes of small size and high thermal conductivity, therefore the capillary performance of the wick is good. Further, because the operating fluid includes nanometer-scale particles with high thermal conductivity, this ensures that the operating fluid has high thermal conductivity.

Abstract:
A heat collector (10, 20) includes a heat absorption surface (12, 22), an opposite heat focus surface (11, 21) and one or more surrounding sides (13, 23). A matrix (24) of the heat collector is a thermally conductive material. There is an adiabatic dope (25) mixed within the matrix. A relative concentration distribution of the adiabatic dope increases from the heat absorption surface to the heat focus surface, and decreases from the surrounding sides to a center of the heat collector. The shape of the heat collector can be rectangular, cylindrical, prismatic, plate-shaped, square, or polyhedral. The heat collector can draw heat generated from electrical components, and collect the generated heat for reuse in order to enhance energy efficiency.

The present coating system (100) provides a multilayer coating apparatus for coating an object (112). The multilayer coating apparatus includes a slide hopper (116, 140). The slide hopper includes a main body (116, 140), the main body essentially including a plurality of separate cavities (118, 120, 122) for receiving coating materials, a plurality of separate slots (124, 126, 128) in communication with the corresponding cavities, and a plurality of separate projection portions (130, 132, 134) formed on the slide hopper, the projection portions each having a substantially sloping slide surface (131, 133, 135) configured for allowing the particular coating material exiting from the slot to directly flow onto the object.

A camera module includes a lens holder (10), a lens module (20), a position detecting mechanism (30), and an image pick-up module (50). The lens holder has a recessed portion axially defined in an inner periphery thereof adjacent one end thereof. The lens module is axially movably received in the lens holder. The position detecting mechanism includes a light source (32) disposed in the periphery of the lens holder opposite to the recessed portion to emit a light, and a photo-detector (34) securely received in the recessed portion, and a processor (36). The photo-detector has a plurality of photo-detector components (342) arranged in the recessed portion parallel to each other so that each can separately receive the lights from the light source and transform the light into an electrical signal. The processor is electrically connected with each photo-detector component for transforming the electrical signal into an output signal.
