  • Publication number: 20160269111
    Abstract: A method and a system for achieving communication between a mobile device and an electronic device are disclosed. The system includes a mobile device, having a lighting unit, which modulates light beams therefrom with a message signal by a communicating mode; a light beam receiver, connected to or embedded in an electronic device, for receiving the modulated light beams and transforming the modulated light beams into an electric signal; and a demodulator, equipped in the electronic device, for demodulating the electric signal to get the message signal. Light beams are used as media to transmit signal from the mobile device to the electronic device.

  • Publication number: 20140140107
    Abstract: An isolated power converter, an inverting type shunt regulator, and an operating method thereof are disclosed. The isolated power converter includes a transformer, an inverting type shunt regulator, a controller, and an optocoupler. The inverting type shunt regulator is located on the secondary side of the transformer. The inverting type shunt regulator includes an error amplifier and a MOSFET. The controller is located on the primary side of the transformer. The controller includes an inverting unit cooperated with the MOSFET. The controller receives a feedback voltage. The optocoupler is coupled to the inverting type shunt regulator and the controller to provide an opto-coupling current to the controller.
