  • Publication number: 20240111849
    Abstract: A media docking device includes an input circuit, an output circuit and a processing circuit. The input circuit is electrically connected to a media source device for receiving media data. The output circuit is electrically connected to a media play device. The processing circuit is electrically connected to the input circuit and the output circuit. The processing circuit determines if a verification procedure is passed. If the verification procedure is passed, the processing circuit transfers the media data to the media play device. If the verification procedure is not passed, the processing circuit limits a transmission of the media data, such that the media data will not be completely played by the media play device.

  • Publication number: 20240114207
    Abstract: A media docking device includes an input module, an output module and a processing module. The input module is electrically connected to a media source device for receiving media data. The output module is electrically connected to a media play device. The processing module determines if an instruction is received from the media source device or a remote device. If the instruction is not received, the processing module transfers the media data to the output module to transmit to the media play device. If the instruction is received, the processing module limits a transmission of the media data according to the instruction, such that the media data will not be completely played by the media play device.

  • Patent number: 11947086
    Abstract: A six-piece optical image capturing system is disclosed. In order from an object side to an image side, the optical lens along the optical axis includes a first lens with refractive power; a second lens with refractive power; a third lens with refractive power; a fourth lens with refractive power; a fifth lens with refractive power, and a sixth lens with negative refractive power. The image-side surface and object-side surface of the sixth lens are aspheric, and at least one surface of the sixth lens has an inflection point. At least one among the first lens to the fifth lens has positive refractive power. The optical lens of the optical image capturing system can increase aperture value and improve the imagining quality for use in compact cameras.

  • Publication number: 20210122023
    Abstract: A gardening tool with identification function including an operating unit and a working unit is provided. The operating unit includes a first main body, a first electrical connector, and an operating device. The first electrical connector is set at one end of the first main body. The operating device includes a processor electrically connected to the first electrical connector. The processor stores operating parameters. The working unit includes a second main body, a second electrical connector, a motor, and a work piece. The electrical property of the second electrical connector is corresponding to one operating parameter in the processor. When the second main body is connected to the first main body, the second electrical connector is electrically connected to the first electrical connector. The processor selects one operating parameter according to the electrical property of the second electrical connector to control the output rotational speed or power of the motor.

  • Patent number: 10622926
    Abstract: A controller of a DC brushless motor and a control method thereof are disclosed. The controller is connected to a commutation circuit including three voltage dividers and three comparators. Each voltage divider includes a first resistor and a second resistor connected in series. Each first resistor is connected to a terminal voltage of three-phase coils of the DC brushless motor. Each comparator includes a positive input end connected to a node connected to the first resistor and the second resistor of the corresponding voltage divider and a negative input end connected to the node of the adjacent voltage divider. The controller includes a control circuit and three bias resistors respectively connected to a voltage source and the node of the corresponding voltage divider. The control circuit detects a counter EMF signal of each phase coil and controls the voltage source to supply an offset voltage to the corresponding node.
