  • Patent number: 9773629
    Abstract: A magnetic sensing switch includes switch body having a hollow tube and an opening. A magnetic reed switch is disposed in the tube and includes two conductive points. The plug having an elastic clamping force is fixed in the opening by interference fit. The plug including a sealant injection portion and a retaining portion communicating with the tube. The two wires are inserted in the tube, one end of each wire is connected to one conductive point, and the other end passes through the retaining portion to protrude out of the tube. A sealant is injected into the tube via the sealant injection portion to entirely wrap the magnetic reed switch and the wires inside the tube, and the sealant partially protrudes out of the sealant injection portion.

  • Patent number: 8497663
    Abstract: A charging device for providing an output voltage to charge a flash capacitor is provided. A transformer includes a primary winding and a secondary winding. The transformer generates a primary voltage according to an input voltage and generates a secondary voltage according to the primary voltage. A diode coupled between the secondary winding of the transformer and the flash capacitor provides the output voltage according to the secondary voltage. A current detector detects a current flowing through the primary winding of the transformer and generates a detection signal. A determining circuit generates a determining signal according to the primary voltage, the secondary voltage and a reference voltage. A control circuit switches a switch coupled between the primary winding of the transformer and a ground according to the detection signal and the determining signal, so as to control the transformer to charge the flash capacitor.

  • Patent number: 7857659
    Abstract: An electronic device having a stretchable USB receptacle is provided. An extending connecting cable is added to the USB receptacle on the electronic device. In normal condition, the connecting cable is accommodated in a cable reel to make the USB receptacle accommodated in an accommodating recess of the electronic device to keep consistency of the appearance. In using condition, the USB receptacle may be taken out and used in a needed place by drawing out the connecting cable. This overcomes the disadvantage that the conventional adjacent USB receptacles may be interfered with each other, and the scope of use also increases.

  • Patent number: 7609114
    Abstract: The invention provides a voltage generating apparatus for powering at least one amplifier. The voltage generating apparatus comprises a voltage source, a switched capacitor voltage converter and a voltage detector. The voltage source supplies a first voltage to a positive voltage input terminal of the at least one amplifier. The first voltage is a positive DC voltage. The switched capacitor voltage converter is coupled to the voltage source for outputting an output voltage to a negative voltage input terminal of the at least one amplifier according to the first voltage and a predetermined voltage. The output voltage is a negative DC voltage. The voltage detector is coupled to the switched capacitor voltage converter for determining a switching frequency corresponding to the predetermined voltage according to the output voltage.

  • Patent number: 6105460
    Abstract: A handgrip is adapted to be sleeved on a tubular end of a handlebar of a bicycle, and includes a plastic elongated molded grip body. The grip body has an outer circumferential wall with a metacarpal portion and a proximate phalangeal portion respectively corresponding to anatomically contact areas of a human hand when the hand grips the grip body. The metacarpal portion has a cutout portion proximate to the proximate phalangeal portion. The cutout portion is elongated in the axial direction, and extends radially to communicate with an inner circumferential wall of the grip body. An annular shoulder portion is disposed inwardly from the cutout portion and radially toward the outer circumferential wall so as to define an annular insertion groove. A hollow flexible pad member includes a pad body which is inserted retainingly into the cutout portion. The pad body has an upper portion protruding outwardly of the outer circumferential wall to provide comfort to the metacarpal portion of the hand.
