  • Publication number: 20240155292
    Abstract: An electronic device includes two speakers, a single functional chip, a parameter extraction circuit, an audio processing module, a gain adjusting circuit and a current detecting unit. The current detecting unit is disposed in the functional chip for detecting the driving current of the two speakers. The functional chip provides the driving voltage of the two speakers based on an output signal and converts the analogue current/voltages of the two speakers into digital current/voltages. The parameter extraction circuit acquires the parameter of each speaker based on the digital current/voltages. The audio processing module acquires the gains of various physical quantities based on the parameter of each speaker and determines the final gain of each physical quantity. The gain adjusting circuit provides the output signal by adjusting the gain of an input signal based on the final gain of each physical quantity.

  • Publication number: 20240141939
    Abstract: A chassis quick release device includes a housing including a base with a connected sliding channel and accommodating space therein and a cover assembled with the base, a locking block linearly movably set in the accommodating space, and an operating handle having a rod body positioned on the sliding channel and a grip assembled with the rod body. The rod body has a cylindrical joint that corresponds to the grip and has a shaft groove defined therein. The grip is provided with a sleeve corresponding to the cylindrical joint and defining therein an accommodating cavity. Moving the operating handle in the direction of the housing causes the locking block to slide out from the accommodating space to form a locked state. Pulling the operating handle away from the housing causes the locking block to move linearly in a second direction to form an unlocked state.
