Patent number: 11916471Abstract: 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.Type: GrantFiled: October 18, 2019Date of Patent: February 27, 2024Assignee: Hewlett-Packard Development Company, L.P.Inventors: Ting-Yang Tsai, Yi-Chen Chen, Ching-Lung Wang, Yu-Min Shen

Patent number: 9706189Abstract: 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.

Patent number: 8558418Abstract: 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.Type: GrantFiled: November 29, 2010Date of Patent: October 15, 2013Assignee: Vasstek International Corp.Inventor: Ching-Lung Tsai
