Abstract: A constant current controller for a constant current power module, including: a demagnetization sensing unit, used for detecting the voltage variation of a detection signal to generate a discharging time signal having an active period corresponding to a secondary side discharging time, wherein the detection signal is derived from an auxiliary coil; a secondary side current sensing unit, used for detecting a peak value of a current sensing signal, and providing an output current according to the peak value of the current sensing signal under the control of the discharging time signal, wherein the current sensing signal is corresponding to a primary side current; and an error current generator, used for generating an error current according to the difference between the output current and a reference current, wherein the error current is converted to a threshold voltage by a first capacitor.

Abstract: A lock-picking prevention apparatus is adaptable to a lock (120) having a lock hole (121) and an abutment driver pin (122) for restricting and releasing a key. The apparatus includes a locking body (102) having a front end abutment hook (102d) abutted by the abutment driver pin (122) when the lock-picking prevention apparatus is inserted into the lock hole (121) so as to bury its internal space, an operating bar (102) provided so as to slide over the abutment driver pin (122) to provide guidance, and a new key (110). At the time of unlocking using the new key (110), the operating bar (103) pushes in the abutment driver pin (122) to release the abutment of the front end abutment hook (102d) so as to enable the locking body (102) to be pulled out. The lock-picking prevention apparatus brings about a situation which is equivalent to a plurality of locks being provided.
