  • Publication number: 20240110576
    Abstract: An impeller is provided, including a metal housing, a shaft, and a plastic member. The metal housing has a shaft mounting hole. The inner surface of the shaft mounting hole includes three or more contact points, and the contact points are closer to the shaft than other portions of the inner surface of the shaft mounting hole. The shaft passes through the shaft mounting hole and is affixed by the contact points. The metal housing divides the shaft into an upper section, a middle section, and a lower section. The plastic member passes through the shaft mounting hole and is in contact with the middle section.

  • Patent number: 11355045
    Abstract: A multiplexer circuit includes a first switch unit and a second switch unit. The first switch unit is electrically connected to a first data line and a first pixel circuit, and configured to turn on according to a first signal in a first time duration. The second switch unit is electrically connected to the first data line and a second pixel circuit, and configured to turn on according to a second signal in a second time duration. The first time duration and the second time duration substantially start or end at a same time, so that the first time duration and the second time duration have overlap.

  • Patent number: 9344267
    Abstract: A data receiver includes a serial-data processing module, a null-frequency detecting unit, a data checking unit, a status control unit and a timeout checking unit. The serial-data processing module receives serial data, generates an operation clock, parallel data and required data, and determines whether the operation clock is correct for accordingly generating a first result. The null-frequency detecting unit receives the operation clock and determines whether the operation clock is locked or null for accordingly generating a second result. The data checking unit is enabled according to the first result and determines whether checking data of the required data is correct for accordingly generating a third result. The status control unit outputs a frequency-locked signal and changes the signal state of the frequency-locked signal according to the first to third results. The enabled timeout checking unit resets the serial-data processing module according to the signal state of the frequency-locked signal.
