  • Patent number: 10842413
    Abstract: A piezoelectric patch sensor for measuring muscle movement of contraction and extension is disclosed. The sensor is elongated and directly attached to a skin site of a user for the measuring via an interface circuit connected to a host processor. The piezoelectric patch sensor has an adhesive layer with an adhesive bottom surface for firmly attaching to the skin site. An elastic sheet is integrated on top of the adhesive layer. A piezoelectric thread is further integrated on top of the elastic sheet and has a bundle of aligned piezoelectric fibers. The thread is electrically coupled to the interface circuit via a pair of conductive wires, forming a piezoelectric measurement circuitry. Muscle movement under the skin site shrinks or extends the piezoelectric patch sensor in its entirety along the direction of muscle movement due to a corresponding shrinking or extending movement of the skin firmly attached to the adhesive layer.

  • Patent number: 10732658
    Abstract: A correction control module for a power factor correction circuit comprises a current sampling unit, an adjustment unit and a control unit. The current sampling unit generates a sampling current based on the operation of a power factor correction circuit. The adjustment unit is connected to the current sampling unit and receives the sampling current. The adjustment unit is composed of a fixed resistance branch and a variable resistance branch connected in parallel with the fixed resistance branch, and the variable resistance and fixed resistance branches receive the sampling current to generate a node voltage. The control unit controls a resistance of the variable resistance branch based on an input voltage and an output voltage of the power factor correction circuit. Thus, an equivalent resistance of the variable resistance branch and the fixed resistance branch is changed according to an operating state of the power factor correction circuit.
