  • Patent number: 7503722
    Abstract: A positioning device for clipping apparatus includes a hollow body which has an open side on one side that holds a track portion and an anchor portion on another side. The body houses a sliding member having a clipping unit and a harness arm. The harness arm is connected to the track portion to form a displacement path of the sliding member. The clipping unit includes an upper clipping portion and a lower clipping portion. The upper clipping portion is driven by the sliding member to move close to the lower clipping portion. A linking means connects an elastic element to the anchor portion and the sliding member so that the elastic element can be stretched and retracted against the displacement path of the sliding member to provide a returning elastic force to the sliding member. Thereby the sliding member can be positioned rapidly on each displacement path.

  • Patent number: 7480157
    Abstract: A power architecture for providing voltage modulation power is applied to a power supply including a PFC (Power Factor Correction) unit and a transformer, and the power supply further includes a power level correction unit, wherein the PFC unit decides a voltage modulation power level and converts the input power into a voltage modulation power, and the voltage modulation power is transformed into an output power through the transformer. A power level correction unit acquires a load utilization power signal from the output power and produces a power level correction signal to adjust the voltage modulation power level, which is decided by the PFC unit. Through adjusting the voltage modulation power level of the PFC unit, the PFC unit can produce voltage modulation power with different voltages according to the load variation, so as to reduce the internal loss of the power supply.

  • Patent number: 7442076
    Abstract: A power output error free apparatus includes a power supply having a circuit board inside and a power transmission port on the surface. The circuit board has a plurality of electric connection zones electrically connected to the power transmission port. The power transmission port is connected to a connection line which has a connection port on one end corresponding and connecting to the power transmission port and a coupling end on other end connecting to a computer main board. The coupling port has a ps-on (power-supply-on) signal pin to control activation of the power supply. The power transmission port has a dummy pin or HIGH potential on a location corresponding to the ps-on signal pin. As a mistaken connection occurs by switching the connection port with the coupling port, the ps-on signal cannot be transmitted through the dummy pin or HIGH potential of the power transmission port.
