  • Publication number: 20180217397
    Abstract: Various embodiments provide an optical image stabilization circuit that synchronizes its gyroscope and drive circuit using gyroscope data ready signals and gyroscope reset signals. In response to a gyroscope data ready signal, the optical image stabilization circuit synchronously obtains position measurements of a camera lens when power drive signals are not transitioning from one power level to another power level, and synchronously transitions the power drive signals simultaneously with gyroscope reset signals. By synchronizing the gyroscope and the drive circuit, the gyroscope and other onboard sensing circuits are isolated from noise generated by the drive circuit.

  • Patent number: 10039000
    Abstract: A host-slave control system and an addressing method thereof are provided. The host-slave control system includes a plurality of slave devices, a host device, and a remote control device. The host device is coupled to and controls the slave devices through a host-slave transmission interface. When one of the slave devices receives an addressing signal sent by the remote control device, the one of the slave devices sends an addressing information to the host device, such that the host device assigns a specific address as the address of the one of the slave devices according to the addressing information. In particular, the addressing information includes a default identification code of the one of the slave devices, and the address assigned to the one of the slave devices corresponds to the default identification code of the one of the slave devices.

  • Patent number: 9897189
    Abstract: The invention provides a wave speed reducer having a self-locking function comprising a structure for outputting driving rotation of a bearing member or a spline wheel at a specific reduction ratio which drives rollers to rotate by a cam. A designed convex arc of the cam has self-locking function of restricting the rollers to reversely rotate so as to form a compound type reducer device having a multi-reducer function by mutually combining the wave speed reducer and a planetary gear set. To solve conventional problems, poor driving accuracy at tiny rotation angle and scarcity of self-locking function for conventional reducers are improved.
