Abstract: There is provided an optical encoder including a phase shifter circuit and a multiple hysteresis comparators. The phase shifter circuit receives four input signals, and outputs multiple phase shifted signals based on the four input signals. Each of the multiple hysteresis comparators uses a changeable operation hysteresis level to compare a couple of phase shifted signals among the multiple phase shifted signals, wherein the changeable operation hysteresis level is determined corresponding to a signal frequency of the four input signals.

Abstract: There is provided a smoke detector including a substrate, a light source and a light sensor. The light source and the light sensor are arranged adjacently on the substrate. The substrate is arranged with an asymmetric structure to cause an illumination region of the light source to deviate toward the light sensor thereby increasing a ratio of light intensity reflected by smoke with respect to reference light intensity.
