  • Patent number: 7903384
    Abstract: A large current flowing out from video signal line driver is prevented whenever the video signal line is being grounded. The system includes a video signal line driver circuit transmitting video signal at pre-determined DC level, a large current prevention circuit detecting video signal line being shorted to ground and cut-off excessive current source out from video signal line driver circuit into video signal line, a start-up time enhancement circuit improving start-up time of ground detection circuit so that system start-up time is not limited by large current prevention circuit, and a switching threshold control circuit setting the switching threshold of large current prevention circuit and start-up time enhancement circuit.

  • Patent number: 7741835
    Abstract: An electric meter having a detachable measuring bar includes a main body, a first measuring bar and a second measuring bar assembly. One end of the main body is formed with a supporting portion. The first measuring bar has a connecting portion and a probe formed at the other end of the connecting portion. The connecting portion is detachably connected with the supporting portion of the main body. The second measuring bar assembly comprises a second measuring bar and a lead. Both ends of the lead are connected to the main body and the second measuring bar. Via this arrangement, when the first measuring bar is worn or damaged in use, the first measuring bar can be replaced, thereby reducing the purchasing cost of the electric meter.

  • Publication number: 20100014382
    Abstract: To estimate a far-field signature of a seismic source having plural source elements, seismic receivers are provided to receive signals from the seismic source elements of the seismic source. Seismic receivers are dynamically associated with different seismic source elements over time, and the far-field signature of the seismic source is computed according to the measurement data taken by the seismic receivers.

  • Publication number: 20070173094
    Abstract: An improved tail structure of an electric wire. The tail structure has a hard terminal with one end connected to a soft electric wire. The junction between the hard terminal and the soft electric wire has a softened buffering structure. The periphery of the hard terminal is wrapped with a soft layer, which extends across the junction to wrap a part of the periphery of the electric wire as well as the buffering structure, such that the junction of the hard terminal and the electric wire is reinforced.

  • Patent number: 5765120
    Abstract: A detecting device for fuel injecting interval is provided, more particularly, to a portable and digital detecting device for detecting the fuel injecting interval of the injector of engine. The detecting device comprises a level transformer, a signal delay filter, a digital signal processor, and a display. The input of the level transformer 2 is electrical connected to the output load terminal of the controller 1 of the injector of engine in a way of inverse measure. The high frequency noise in the target waveform is filtered by the signal delay filter. The delay time within the detecting device is calculated by the digital signal processor and is subtracted. The resulted and exact fuel injecting interval is illustrated in the display. The detecting device features a compact configuration, easy to maintain and low service cost. Most important, the detecting device features a lower measuring error level.
