A swinging apparatus comprising an energy provider and a swinging mechanism disposed thereon. By means of adjusting the size and shape of the swinging mechanism and adjusting a distance between the swinging mechanism and the energy provider so as to control the ratio of the distance between the swinging mechanism and the energy provider to a characteristic value corresponding to the swing mechanism in a range between 4 and 0.25, the swinging frequency of the swinging mechanism may be adjusted automatically to comply with the variation of the motion frequency of the energy provider. The present invention further provides an energy harvester to work with the swinging apparatus and a coil to generate an induced current for power generation during the swing of the swing mechanism. In the present invention, the natural frequency of the swing mechanism may be adjusted according to the rotational velocity of the energy provider.

Abstract:
Face detection and tracking method is executed by a computer or a microprocessor with computing capability for identifying human faces and positions thereof in image frames. First, face detection is performed to detect human faces in a plurality of frames. Then, face tracking is performed on each of the frames to track the detected human faces and record positions of these human faces. Afterward, face detection on the image frames is again performed every few frames, skipping the positions of the human faces that have been recorded, so as to quickly search for other human faces that might be newly added.
Abstract:
An ultra thin package for an electric acoustic sensor chip of a micro electro mechanical system is provided. A substrate has a first substrate surface and a second substrate surface opposite to the first substrate surface. At least one conductor bump is formed on the second substrate surface. An electric acoustic sensor chip having a first chip surface and a second chip surface opposite to the first chip surface is provided. The first chip surface is electrically connected to the conductor bump. The conductor bump is positioned between the second substrate surface and the first chip surface to create a space. The conductor bump is used for transferring a signal from the sensor chip to the substrate. An acoustic opening passing through the substrate is formed.
Abstract:
A graduated processing method of digital image is adapted to a digital camera for immediately adjusting brightness in different regions of a shot digital image. The processing method includes the following steps. An image capturing device determines an image boundary of a digital image according to an image difference condition in the digital image. Then, a graduated layer is used in the digital image along a vertical direction of the image boundary, and a brightness difference in different regions of the digital image is adjusted.
Abstract:
The systems and methods described herein provide for a radio frequency micro-electromechanical systems switch having two or more resonant frequencies. The switch can be configured as a capacitive shunt switch having a deflectable member coupled between two electrodes over a transmission line. A first insulator can be located between one of the electrodes and the deflectable member to form a capacitive element. The deflectable member can be deflectable between an up-state and a down-state, the down-state capacitively coupling the deflectable member with the transmission line. The degree by which the deflectable member overlaps the first insulator can be adjusted to adjust the capacitance of the capacitive element and the resulting resonant frequency.
