Abstract: Electrodes that can be used to determine a first type of physiological signal and a second type of physiological signal are disclosed. The first type of physiological signal can be electromyography (EMG) signals produced by activity of muscles and tendons. Identification of hand movements can be supplemented with pose detection circuitry such as inertial measurement units (IMUs). These EMG signals can be processed to identify hand movements and recognize gestures associated with those hand movements. The second type of physiological signal can be electromyography (ECG) signals produced by the heart. The electrodes can be used to detect EMG and ECG signals dependent upon a current configuration of sensing circuitry. The electrodes can be used to determine a measurement quality associated with the EMG signals.

Abstract: A power-saving charging device controls both a primary side controller and a secondary side controller to be in a shutdown state when an output terminal is not connected to the load. When the output terminal is connected to the load, the secondary side controller receives a power-on power supply from a power storage unit, performs a power-on procedure and enters a working state. The primary side controller receives a power-on signal from the power storage unit, performs the power-on procedure according to the power-on signal, and enters the working state. Accordingly, when the charging device is not connected to the load, it can enter a standby state with extremely low power consumption in which the primary side controller and the secondary side controller are both turned off, thereby achieving the effect of saving the power consumption of the controller when the charging device is in standby.

Abstract: A power converter with an adjustable output voltage has an isolation DC/DC transformer, a primary side circuit connected to a primary coil of the isolation DC/DC transformer for transmitting an input AC power to the primary coil, and a secondary side circuit connected to a secondary coil of the isolation DC/DC transformer. The secondary side circuit includes a first output loop, a second output loop and a mode switch connected in the first output loop. When power consumption of a load is low, the mode switch is turned off to interrupt the first output loop so that the secondary side circuit generates a first output voltage with a low voltage level. When power consumption of a load is high, the mode switch is turned on and the secondary side circuit generates a second output voltage with a high voltage level. Without greatly increasing circuits, the power converter achieves wide-range voltage regulation.
