Publication number: 20240152193Abstract: The invention provides a power supply including at least one power output port, at least one status alert component, and at least one output port status monitoring module. The status alert component generates at least one visual prompt based on an alert signal. The output port status monitoring module includes at least one temperature sensor adjacent to the power output port, a microcontroller connected to the temperature sensor and sensing an output current from the power output port, and a reset signal generator connected to the microcontroller. The microcontroller comprises at least one port status alert condition that takes a temperature and the output current of the power output port as decision factors. The microcontroller outputs the alert signal to the status alert component when the port status alert condition is met and maintains the status until a reset signal provided by the reset signal generator is received.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 4, 2022Publication date: May 9, 2024Inventors: Wei-Chen WU, Wen-Hau HU, Hung-Wei YANG, Cheng-Yung LO, Yu-Hao SU, Jian-Zhi HUANG

Patent number: 9965046Abstract: A keyboard and a notebook computer with the keyboard are provided. The keyboard is installed on the notebook computer. The keyboard includes a membrane circuit board, a key frame, a key, a linking rod and a fixing plate. The linking rod is connected with the key frame. The fixing plate is disposed under the key frame. While the linking rod is rotated relative to the key frame to push the key frame, a position-limiting structure of the key frame is moved along a guiding structure of the fixing plate. Consequently, the key frame is limited to be moved in a first axial direction. Moreover, when the key frame is moved to a locked position at the same level with a keycap of the key, the keycap cannot be pressed down.Type: GrantFiled: October 31, 2016Date of Patent: May 8, 2018Assignee: PRIMAX ELECTRONICS LTD.Inventors: Che-Wei Yang, Yi-Chen Wang, Wei-Yung Huang
