Patent number: 8737044Abstract: A moving module and an electronic device are provided. The electronic device includes a first body, a second body, and the moving module disposed between the first and second bodies. The moving module includes a rail, a moving element, and an elastic element. The moving element is in contact with the rail.

Publication number: 20100008114Abstract: A discontinuous protection method clamps phase currents in an inverter initially sets a current clamping flag and a current threshold. The phase currents are alternatively cut out by a criterion based on the current-clamp flag and based on whether the phase currents exceed the current threshold. By proving current in discontinuous way under certain situation judged by the criterion, over current protection and shut-down of inverter can be prevented. The method further sets a carrier frequency modulation flag. The carrier frequency is increased to 8 KHz when the phase current is to be cut out, thus speeding up protection for clamping current.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 14, 2008Publication date: January 14, 2010Inventors: Hsien-Chung LEE, Cheng-Te Chen

Publication number: 20060294032Abstract: A fee calculation system for electrical energy consumption of motor drive and method for the same. The electrical power consumption for the motor drive and for a motor driven by the motor drive are calculated and displayed. An instantaneous load power of the motor is calculated according to an output voltage, an output current and a power factor of the motor drive. The total instantaneous consumption power is the sum of the instantaneous load power of the motor and the internal power of the motor drive. The total instantaneous consumption power is converted to power consumption per hour and is then multiplied with the operation hour to obtain the total electrical energy consumption. The total electrical energy consumption is multiplied with a fee schedule input by user to obtain the total fee for the electrical energy consumption. The total fee is then shown on a display of the motor drive.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 23, 2005Publication date: December 28, 2006Inventors: Cheng-Te Chen, Yu-Bin Chao, Chia-Hsiang Yang
