  • Patent number: 10417164
    Abstract: A synchronous transmission device includes a first communication port, a first bus instance and a second bus instance. The first communication port is connected to the first endpoint and the second endpoint. The first bus instance executes a first data transmission with the first endpoint according to a first node of a first schedule list. The first node corresponds to the first endpoint, and the first bus instance corresponds to the first communication port. When the first data transmission is executed, the first bus instance is further configured to determine whether the second bus instance is idle. When the second bus instance is idle, the first bus instance controls the second bus instance to execute a second data transmission with the second endpoint according to a second node of the first schedule list. The second node of the first schedule list corresponds to the second endpoint.

  • Patent number: 8049690
    Abstract: A circuit and a method for driving light emitting diodes (LEDs) are provided. First, an input voltage is converted into an output voltage and the output voltage is transmitted to the anode terminals of LED strings. The output voltage is reduced when the output voltage is greater than a first threshold voltage and the output voltage is reduced when the lowest level among the cathode terminal voltages of all the LED strings is greater than a second threshold voltage. Thus, the output voltage can be maintained at a lower level for driving all the LED strings to reduce unnecessary power wastage.

    Abstract: A light-emitting diode driving circuit includes a control circuit, a transistor switch and a compensating circuit. The control circuit receives an oscillating signal to generate a pulse drive signal. The transistor switch is activated by the pulse drive signal such that an inductor is charged by an input voltage, in which the inductor is arranged to deliver an inducting current to at least one light-emitting diode when the transistor switch is deactivated. The compensating circuit is coupled between the control circuit and a capacitor provided for reducing ripples of an output voltage corresponding to the inducting current. The compensating circuit performs a charging and discharging operation along with the capacitor when controlled by a dimming control signal provided to control brightness of the light-emitting diode.

  • Patent number: 7014486
    Abstract: A recoverable connector structure and a cradle having the same are provided. The cradle includes a base plate, a fixed stand, a recoverable assembly having a bolt and an elastic body, a support body, a shielding plate, a circuit board, a second connector and a case. An electronic device couples with the second connector of the cradle through a first connector of the electronic device. When the electronic device is pulled from the second connector of the cradle, the recoverable assembly allows the second connector and the circuit board to rotate in a certain angle. As the electronic device is separated from the cradle, the second connector can return to its initial position. This design not only makes the process of pulling up the electronic device smooth, but also avoids the second connector from fatigued damage to extend the cradle's life.
