  • Patent number: 7551416
    Abstract: A power supply equipped with an independent overload protection mechanism includes a control circuit and a transformation circuit that form multiple sets of combination circuits for transforming AC power to DC power. Each control circuit is connected to a protection circuit which monitors overload operation conditions of an electronic device. In the event that an overload condition occurs, the protection circuit outputs an individual protection signal to the control circuit to stop or suspend power output on a DC power cord so that the electronic device at the rear end is not driven. Hence an independent overload protection can be achieved.

  • Patent number: 7480811
    Abstract: A power supply system for personal computers aims to provide an additional sub-power supply needed when a personal computer requires a power greater than what can be provided by the original main power supply. This invention provides a sub-power supply in the spare space of the existing chassis of the personal computer without removing the main power supply to augment the power supply. The starting power of the sub-power supply is provided by the main power supply. Hence when the personal computer is in the machine stop condition, only the main power supply consumes electric power. Thereby this invention can preserve a green power.
