  • Patent number: 8096631
    Abstract: An image-forming apparatus is provided which prevents irregularity of an image density and improves the life of heating elements. In a half of recording heads (a group of recording heads 22K2, 22K4, 22K6 not adjacent to each other), off time T2 is shortened at a timing of PWM renewal 1; in the other recording heads (22K1, 22K3, 22K5, another group of the recording heads not adjacent to each other) the off time T2 is not changed at the timing of PWM renewal 1 but is shortened at the timing of PWM renewal 2. As the result, in the region corresponding to the timing from PWM renewal 1 to PWM renewal 2, the amount of the ink droplets ejected from the nozzles of the recording heads 22K2, 22K4, 22K6 is decreased to decrease slightly invisibly the image density formed by the ink droplets ejected from the nozzles 22K2, 22K4, 22K6.

  • Patent number: 8085625
    Abstract: A burner system capable of inverting an optical disc has a control module, a burning module, a mechanical arm and an inverter. The control module controls the mechanical arm to grab the optical disc from a burner in the burning module and release the optical disc into the inverter. The optical disc passes through the inverter due to gravity, one side of the optical disc is tilted by the inverter so the optical disc is inverted. Therefore, the burner system automatically inverts the optical disc for double-sided data processing.

  • Patent number: 8073644
    Abstract: An automatic voltage-identifying power supply device has a control module, a voltage regulation circuit, a current load measuring circuit electrically connected with an external post-stage power-receiving device, a power supply circuit and a pre-stage power supply device. After the post-stage power-receiving device is electrically connected with the current load measuring circuit, the control module can control the voltage regulation circuit to output a test voltage signal to the post-stage power-receiving device so that the test voltage signal is altered according to a preset sequence (e.g. progressively increasing) and the current load measuring circuit measures a response current signal of the post-stage power-receiving device corresponding to the test voltage signal. When a variation of the response current signal or a power variation is stable, the control module sets up the stable test voltage signal as an input voltage to the post-stage power-receiving device.

  • Patent number: 8040697
    Abstract: A resonant circuit has two parallel resonant branches and one assistant inductor connecting the two resonant branches. Each resonant branch has a series capacitor and a series inductor connected in series. The other end of the series inductor is for connecting to a primary side of a transformer unit. The resonant circuit can provide two characteristic resonant frequencies fr and fm, so that a resonant power converter using the resonant circuit has an operating frequency fs that satisfies fs>fr or fm<fs<fr. The combination of the two resonant branches and the assistant inductor can reduce the frequency switch range of the resonant power converter within a specific voltage gain.
