  • Patent number: 7936131
    Abstract: An AC power feedback control device for a vacuum fluorescent display is provided. In the AC power feedback control device, the Class-D drivers are driven by the PWM controller so as to generate a sine wave voltage. After being filtered by the LPFs, the sine wave voltage is ready for filaments. The output voltage outputted by the filaments is detected by simple feedback elements so as to control and modulate the duty cycle of the PWM controller.

  • Patent number: 7762828
    Abstract: An electrical connector with sliding connection has a main body and a mated device, which both can electrically and mechanically connect together. The main body has a concave room. The concave room has an electrical connector that can slide back and forth by elasticity and outer forces. The mated device has a mated connector compared to the electrical connector. When connecting the electrical connector with the sliding connection, the present invention can transversely connect the electrical connector and the mated connector, and then by vertically sliding clamp the main body and the mated device. The electrical connector will follow the sliding motion.
