  • Patent number: 10393790
    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a method for testing connectivity. The method is applied to an electronic equipment which is disposed include two test units (e.g. network interface controller, RJ-45 connector) and a network transformer. The test unit couple to the network transformer so that can send a high frequency test signal or a low frequency test signal to the network transformer respectively. When the test unit receives a low frequency response signal, it means correspond internal circuitry of the network transformer does not have a open circuit fault. When the test unit does not receive a high frequency response signal, it means correspond pins of the network transformer does not have a short circuit fault.

  • Patent number: 10361594
    Abstract: A wireless power transmission device radiates electromagnetic waves through a transmission antenna and generates multiple sensed signals by using multiple foreign object detection (FOD) coils for detecting metallic foreign object to sense the electromagnetic waves. Each FOD coil has three coil units connected in series to and spaced apart from one another. The radiation pattern of the transmission antenna overlaps a sensing range of the FOD coils. A controller of the wireless power transmission device determines if any metallic foreign object enters the radiation range of the transmission antenna according to a reference voltage signal and sensed signals of the cells, and stops the generation of electromagnetic waves when determining entry of metallic foreign object into the radiation range to avoid the metallic foreign object to be heated by the electromagnetic waves.
