  • Patent number: 11266482
    Abstract: A balance mechanism comprises a working device, a connecting arm assembly having a variable length, a torque-balancing assembly, a weighting member, and a connecting member. The connecting arm assembly couples to the working device. The connecting arm assembly is pivoted to the torque-balancing assembly by a pivot. The weighting member couples to the torque-balancing assembly. The connecting member connects the connecting arm assembly and the torque-balancing assembly. As the distance between the working device and the pivot changes, the distance between the weighting member and the pivot changes accordingly, so that a dynamic balance can be achieved.

  • Publication number: 20120019158
    Abstract: A polarity-reversible dimming controller having function of switching light source has a power supply module and a dimming control module. The dimming control module receives an external PWM dimming signal to control a feedback signal of the power supply module so as to dim or power on/off an LED lamp. The dimming control module has an output current switching circuit, a switch control circuit and a dimming control circuit. The output current switching circuit performs a PWM control over a current outputted from the power supply module by using the external PWM dimming signal to maintain chromacity of the LED lamp as a constant. The switch control circuit turns off the PWM controller to enter a standby mode for saving power once the PWM dimming signal exceeds a threshold value. As a full-wave rectification is performed on the PWM dimming signal, the polarity match issue upon assembling can be disregarded.
