  • Patent number: 9570937
    Abstract: A wireless power transmission device includes a main body, a first transmitter coil and a second transmitter coil. The second transmitter coil is stacked over the first transmitter coil. If the wireless power transmission device is operated in a detecting mode, a magnetic flux is generated by the first transmitter coil and oriented in the direction toward the top surface of the main body. The magnetic flux is attenuated by the overlying second transmitter coil. Consequently, the electromagnetic wave is inhibited. If the wireless power transmission device is operated in a charging mode, both the first transmitter coil and the second transmitter coil are controlled to transmit magnetic fluxes. Since the intensity of the electric power is increased, the charging efficiency is enhanced.

  • Patent number: 9442581
    Abstract: A touch pen includes a sleeve, a contact element, a sensing device and a buffering element. The contact element is penetrated through the sleeve and movably relative to the sleeve. The sensing device is disposed within the sleeve. The buffering element is disposed within the sleeve. The contact element and the sensing device are separated from each other by the buffering element. While the contact element is moved in response to an external force applied to touch pen, the impact of the contact element on the sensing device is largely reduced because the contact element and the sensing device are separated from each other by the buffering element. Moreover, since the external force is received by the buffering element, the sensing device can be protected by the buffering element. Consequently, the failure probability of the touch pen is reduced.
