  • Patent number: 8749411
    Abstract: An analog-to-digital conversion device and a method thereof are provided. The analog-to-digital conversion device includes a first level adjustment unit, an analog-to-digital converter (ADC), and a linear range detection unit. The ADC converts a test signal or a first input signal to generate a test data stream or a first output data stream. In an adjustment mode, the linear range detection unit obtains a conversion curve of the ADC by using the test data stream and determines whether to adjust offset control information according to a linear range of the conversion curve. In an operation mode, the linear range detection unit continues outputting the offset control information. Additionally, before transmitting the first input signal, the first level adjustment unit adjusts a direct-current level of the first input signal according to the offset control information to allow the first input signal to be within the linear range of the conversion curve.

  • Publication number: 20120182189
    Abstract: An electronic apparatus includes a casing, at least an antenna body, a feeding point and a control unit. The casing has a display portion. The antenna body is disposed at the casing and at least has two radiation paths and a switching element. Parts of the radiation paths are respectively disposed at two sides of the display portion. The switching element is electrically connected with the radiation paths. The feeding point is electrically connected with the switching element and operationally connected to one of the radiation paths. The control unit controls the switching element based on the rotation of the electronic apparatus. When one of the radiation paths is located between a user and the display portion, the control unit controls to selectively switch the switching element for connecting the other radiation path to the feeding point.

  • Publication number: 20090195474
    Abstract: The invention provides a dual-feed planar antenna including a first resonant portion, a second resonant portion, and a grounding portion. The first resonant portion provides a first radiation path and includes a first feed-in portion and a grounding end receiving a grounding level. The first feed-in portion receives a first antenna signal to transmit the first antenna signal to the first radiation path. The second resonant portion provides a second radiation path and a third radiation path and includes a second feed-in portion respectively receiving a second antenna signal and a third antenna signal to correspondingly transmit the second antenna signal and the third antenna signal to the second radiation path and the third radiation path. The grounding portion receives the grounding level and is disposed between the first and second resonant portions. The dual-feed planar antenna covers the communication bands for GSM850, GSM900, GPS, DCS, PCS, and UMTS.

  • Patent number: 5761599
    Abstract: An image forming apparatus including a document-inlet, a multifunction opening, a document-outlet, a first document path and a second document path, is provided. The multifunction opening selectively functions as a document inlet or a document outlet. The first document path, responsive to the document fed in through the document-inlet, directs and drives the document from the document-inlet to the illumination/scan position, and, after the document is scanned, discharges the document to the multifunction opening. The second document path, responsive to the document fed in through the multifunction opening, directs and drives the document from the multifunction opening to the illumination/scan position, and, after the document is scanned, discharges the document to the document outlet. A section of the first document path and a section of the second document path overlaps to each other and defines an overlapping path.
