  • Publication number: 20210014943
    Abstract: A light source driving apparatus including a primary side and a secondary side is provided. The light source driving apparatus includes an isolated current sensing circuit, a dimming circuit, an independent voltage source, and a feedback circuit. The isolated current sensing circuit is coupled to the secondary side, and samples an output current of the light source driving apparatus by electromagnetic coupling to generate a current sensing signal. The dimming circuit receives a dimming input signal, and provides a reference controlled-current signal according to the dimming input signal and based on an operating voltage. The independent voltage source is configured to generate the operating voltage. Based on the operating voltage, the feedback circuit provides a feedback signal according to the current sensing signal and the reference controlled-current signal for adjusting the output current of the light source driving apparatus.

  • Patent number: 9585204
    Abstract: A driving circuit includes: a switching element having a first terminal to receive an input voltage, and a second terminal; an inductor coupled to the second terminal of the switching element; a switch and a current sensing element coupled in series to the second terminal of the switching element; and a control module compensating a voltage sensed by the current sensing element based on at least one of the input voltage and an output voltage across the switching element and the inductor to generate a compensated signal, and switching the switch from an ON state to an OFF state when the compensated signal exceeds a reference threshold for a delay time.

  • Publication number: 20060231674
    Abstract: A movable lifting stand includes a roller holder having its lower side assembled with a roller. A gearbox secured on the topside of the roller holder, and a worm gear to be turned manually is horizontally disposed in the interior of the gearbox. A transmission rod is vertically inserted through the roller holder, having its upper end formed with a bevel gear to be inserted in the interior of the gearbox and engaged with the worm gear. The transmission rod has its lower portion formed with a threaded rod to be threadably combined with the upright plate of a combining base.

  • Patent number: 7106603
    Abstract: A switch-mode self-coupling power device additionally increases a set of high voltage auxiliary winding in the transformer and increases a control circuit and an energy transmitting circuit in the primary side circuit of the conventional circuit. When the load is too low, the control circuit may control the energy transmitting circuit according to the variation of the load so that the voltage of the high voltage auxiliary winding can be transmitted to a controller for operation through the energy transmitting circuit. Therefore, the design of PWM controller (pulse width modulation controller) auxiliary power circuit according to the present invention, which is not limited by the magnitude of a dummy load at the secondary side of the transformer, can conform to international regulations and is a product with industrial purpose and conforming to green mode.
