  • Patent number: 12133303
    Abstract: A light emitting device controls its mixed CCT by the configuration of at least one light emitter, at least one diode and at least two power distribution components. The present disclosure is mainly based on the hardware design of diode and jumper, which effectively replaces the resistors and manual switches of the conventional light emitting device with diodes, wherein the resistors and the manual switches of the conventional light emitting device cause voltage instability and other problems. The present disclosure can achieve the demand for miniaturization of the light emitting device by plugging the jumper into pins, and further can achieve the main advantages of stabilizing the voltage of the overall light emitting device, thereby stabilizing the luminous performance of the overall light emitting device, and emitting the mixed light with the required CCT. The present disclosure also illustrates a lamp assembly using the aforementioned light emitting device.

  • Publication number: 20240143791
    Abstract: The invention introduces an apparatus for detecting errors during data encryption. The apparatus includes a search circuitry and a substitution check circuitry. The key generation circuitry is arranged operably to convert a first value of one byte corresponding to a plaintext, an intermediate encryption result, or a round key into a second value of a K-bit according to an 8-to-K lookup table, where K is an integer ranging from 10 to 15 and the second value comprises (K minus 8) bits of a Hamming parity. The substitution check circuitry is arranged operably to employ check formulae corresponding to the 8-to-K lookup table to determine whether an error is occurred during a conversion of the first value of the one byte into the second value of the K-bit, and output an error signal when finding the error, where a total amount of the formulae is K minus 8.
