  • Patent number: 6998732
    Abstract: A distributed power system, wherein a backup boost transformer is connected between a PFC transformer and a FE DC transformer. The backup boost transformer is also parallel connected with a diode. The backup boost transformer only operates in the sustaining time, if the first DC voltage drops gradually, the backup boost transformer will increase this first DC voltage and stabilize it at a preset voltage of the FE DC transformer. Therefore, the capacity of the storage capacitor of the PFC transformer can be fully utilized to have a longer sustaining time and decrease the variation range of the second DC voltage so as to enhance the efficiency and power density thereof.

  • Patent number: 6985267
    Abstract: A scanning apparatus adaptable for two resolutions has two carriages with different resolutions. The carriages are disposed in the cover and the scanning bed of the scanning apparatus respectively. Each carriage includes a lens and a sensing module and the sensing module and the lens are at a fixed distance. The optical lengths between the lenses and the documents to be scanned are different so that the resolution produced by the carriage in the cover is different from the resolution produced by the carriage in the scanning bed.

  • Patent number: 6979778
    Abstract: A foot pad has an elastic conical body and at least one elastic rib. The elastic conical body defines a connecting surface and an outer conical surface. The connecting surface defines a hollow portion, and the elastic rib integrally connects to the elastic conical body at a surface of the hollow portion. The outer conical surface has a root portion connecting with an outer edge of the connecting surface. A thickness of the elastic conical body at the root portion of the outer conical surface is greater than a thickness of the elastic conical body at other portions of the outer conical surface. Elasticity of the foot pad is thereby increased so as to enlarge a contact area contacting an outer supporting surface, so that an anti-skid effect is improved and the foot pad is capable of absorbing a deformation of an electronic product.

  • Patent number: 6978119
    Abstract: A fast connection establishment method for a bluetooth device is used to establish a connection between two bluetooth devices in order to provide a wireless transmission function. A bluetooth module, bluetooth address memory, CPU and connection interface for outside device are installed in each bluetooth device. The method first connects the three signal contacts of a bluetooth device to the three signal contacts of another bluetooth device to interchange the bluetooth addresses with each other. Then, the bluetooth address memory of the bluetooth device is used to store the bluetooth address of the opposite bluetooth device. After this, the bluetooth address is sent out after the power source of the bluetooth device is on. Finally, a bluetooth connection procedure is started if the bluetooth address of the opposite device is received by it in a specific time. Thereby, a wireless transmission can be established between two bluetooth devices.

  • Patent number: 6969000
    Abstract: An optical module apparatus equipped with a latch coupler includes a carrier movable on a guiding rod. The guiding rod is coupled with a turnable check member. When the optical module apparatus is on a flat and using position, the check member may pass through a check trough to enable the carrier to move freely and linearly and reciprocally. When the optical module apparatus is mounted in an inclined manner and moved away from the using position, the check member is subject to the gravity force and turns in parallel with the direction of the gravity force, and is latched on the check trough to restrict the moving range of the carrier. Thus the optical module apparatus may be prevented from moving by external forces during transportation and avoid being damaged.
