  • Patent number: 7482782
    Abstract: A charge control system for lithium battery using pulse width modulation is provided, and it detects the existing voltage of the charging lithium battery by a voltage detector and passes this voltage value to a microprocessor preset in the hand-held apparatus. Thus, the microprocessor can decide the applicable charge stage and confirm the status of the charging battery depending on the different Voltage values in real time. Next, the microprocessor controls a control unit by a pulse width modulation signal to modulate the power-source, which comes from an adaptor, as a constant current or a constant voltage to charge the battery. Accordingly, the charge process is completed by repeating the voltage detection and the duty cycle modulation of the control unit.

  • Patent number: 4503422
    Abstract: A composite locking device comprises a case frame adapted to be connected to the inside of a door and a lock lever within the case frame. The lock lever is capable of lateral movement and has a first end which extends through the opening in the case frame to be received in a recess in a door jamb, and a second end within the case frame. The case frame includes a rotatable disk which is adapted to receive a key for laterally displacing the lock lever. A lockhead is fastened adjacent to the disk so that the key passes therethrough before it is received by the rotatable disk. The lockhead includes a power switch which is activated by insertion of the key, the power switch in turn activating a code switch. The code switch activates an electromagnet. A lock bolt is provided in the case frame which engages the lock lever. When the electromagnet is activated, it attracts the lock bolt away from the lock lever thus permitting lateral displacement of the lock lever by the key without activating an alarm.
