  • Patent number: 11916471
    Abstract: An example electronic device includes a controller to determine a user touch detection by a power adaptor coupled to the electronic device to operate the electronic device in an AC power mode. The power adaptor may comprise a proximity sensor to detect a user touch for detachment of the power adaptor from the electronic device, and a control circuit to operate a configuration pin in a low output mode to signal user touch detection. The controller may initiate central processing unit (CPU) throttling to reduce power consumption by the electronic device. The controller may further stop CPU throttling in response to detecting that the power adaptor has been detached from the electronic device. Further, the controller may switch the electronic device to a DC power mode to operate using DC power supplied by a battery of the electronic device in response to power adaptor detachment.

  • Patent number: 9706189
    Abstract: A method for calibrating image defection of an image capturing device having a first and second lens, a focusing actuator, and a prestored first focusing step-to-focusing distance relation includes the following steps. A plurality of image sets are captured by the first and second lens, where each of the image sets includes a first and second image, and the images sets include a reference image set. It is detected whether the reference image set is defective. When the reference image set is detected to be defective, the first focusing step-to-focusing distance relation is calibrated according to a focusing step and a focusing distance corresponding to each of the image sets, where the focusing step corresponding to each of the image sets is the number of steps that the focusing actuator is required to move the first and second lens to a focusing position to generate each of the image sets.

  • Patent number: 8558418
    Abstract: A voice coil motor (VCM) includes a lens carrier physically connected to a magnetic device, an electromagnetic driving apparatus, constructed by a coil, a magnetic sensing element, a storage media and a controller. The magnetic sensing element detects a location of the lens carrier and outputs the location value relating to the location of the lens carrier via an amplifier. The storage media stores a gain value and an offset compensation value relating to the amplifier. The controller can make the lens carrier move between a top position and a bottom position in which the lens carrier can be moved within the voice coil motor. The lens carrier is moved using the coil interaction with a magnetic field of the magnetic device when current is applied to the coil.

    Abstract: A cable guide, comprising: a cylindrical pivot portion having a handle portion integrally formed at its outside in radial direction, and a draw-out port formed from the inside of the pivot portion to penetrate through the base end of the handle portion; a reel-in portion having an internal receiving space, which pivots on the outside of the pivot portion to conduct relative rotation; a flexible cord made of polyester monofilament material, one end of which is wound in the receiving space and the other end of which is connected with a drag-head to be located at the outside of the draw-out port; and an circular-arc shape guiding portion formed at the lower edge of the draw-out port and inclined from inside to outside. In this manner, the linearity and the capacity of enduring high squeezing force of the flexible cord can be raised, and the frictional force between the draw-out port is relatively reduced.
