  • Patent number: 8307880
    Abstract: A sheet material tensioning apparatus includes frame members interconnected one with another to define a closed contour. The apparatus applies tension to sheet material by imposing a separation between frame members to expand the closed contour. Beneficially, the sheet material tensioning apparatus includes an edge-bridging mechanism, such as a spline, to span the gap between the separated frame members. The edge-bridging mechanism maintains the continuity of the edge supporting the sheet material. The sheet material apparatus may include a crossbar assembly to add rigidity to long frame members, while maintaining planar alignment even under considerable compression.

  • Patent number: 8310203
    Abstract: A battery balancing method for a battery pack is disclosed, wherein the battery pack includes a plurality of rechargeable battery cells. The method categorizes the plurality of battery cells into a first subgroup and a second subgroup. Each battery cell in the first subgroup has an over voltage count number that records the times of the battery cells reaching an over voltage protection point. A minimum voltage of the battery cells in the second subgroup is detected. Then the voltage of each battery cell in the first subgroup is decreased to a buck voltage lower than the minimum voltage of the second subgroup. While any one cell in the first group reaches the over voltage protection point again during the charging procedure, the over voltage count numbers for the particular battery cells already reached the over voltage protection point are accumulated and then the charging procedure is terminated.

  • Patent number: 8310849
    Abstract: A pulse width modulation regulator IC is provided for controlling a duty cycle of at least one switch to convert one input voltage signal into an output voltage. An input pin is provided for receiving an input signal different from the input voltage signal. The input signal has a lasting time substantially the same as the time that input voltage signal situated at a high level, but the waveforms of the two signals are different. The input signal is converted into a square wave signal by a conversion unit, and a PWM signal is generated by a PWM controller according to the square wave signal to control the duty cycle of the switch. Therefore, the input pin can be saved by adjusting an internal or external circuit of the IC for the usage of the different kinds of input signals without increasing the number of input pins of the IC.
