  • Publication number: 20160308432
    Abstract: A power circuit with a low total harmonic distortion includes a conversion module and a control module, and the conversion module includes a first switch, a second switch, a power storage element and a conversion element. Both ends of the power storage element are electrically connected to the first switch, the second switch and the conversion element. Trigger ends of the first and second switches are electrically connected to the control module. If the input voltage is smaller than a predetermined value, the control module will output a control pulse to the second switch, and the second switch will conduct and drive the power storage element to boost the input voltage to generate a compensating current in a timing cycle, and the second switch will cut off and allow the compensating current to be converted into a voltage form by the conversion element and outputted in another timing cycle.

  • Patent number: 9013108
    Abstract: An LED element with a color light enhancement function is a two-terminal element for receiving a driving current to emit light and includes at least one blue LED chip, at least one red LED chip and a three-way compensator. The three-way compensator intercepts a driving current passing through the blue LED chip depending on a proportion value according to a change of working temperature and adjusts the amount of current flowing into the red LED chip. If the working temperature exceeds a default value, an input terminal of the three-way compensator is triggered to intercept the driving current and generate and output a set current to the red LED chip to compensate an attenuation of the red LED chip caused by high temperature. The LED element will not be changed its intensity after a prolonged period of usage.

  • Patent number: 8901854
    Abstract: Disclosed is a multi-segment LED driving circuit used in an AC operating mode for outputting a drive current to drive a plurality of serially connected LED strings. The LED driving circuit includes at least one detection part, at least one comparison part and at least one adjusting part. The detection part detects an input voltage and an output voltage at both ends of each string and its next string to form a detected value provided for the comparison part to compare the detected value with a reference value to turn on or off the adjusting part so as to control the strings through which the drive current passes and then sequentially drives the strings to emit light. The LED driving circuit can adjust the load of the circuit immediately based on the change of voltage value of the AC power to ensure the stability of the drive current.

  • Publication number: 20130068141
    Abstract: A desk board raising apparatus has a seat, an active module, a passive module, and a cylinder. The active module is pivotally mounted in the seat and has a base, two linking arms, and a pivot. The linking arms are L-shaped. The pivot is deposited between the linking arms and pivotally mounted in the seat. The passive module is mounted in the seat and has a passive board pivotally connected with the linking arms. The cylinder is mounted in the seat and is adapted to push the passive board. Thus, the base lifted up or down can drive the passive board to move up or down. Therefore, the desk board raising apparatus uses a simple structure to synchronize the movements of the passive board and the base, and therefore has the advantages of convenient operation, low manufacturing cost, low maintenance cost, and consuming no power.
