  • Publication number: 20240130014
    Abstract: A LED power supply with bi-level dimming receives an input voltage to supply power to an LED lamp, and adjusts the brightness of the LED lamp according to whether an external detection switch is triggered to be turned on. The LED power supply includes a conversion circuit, a switch, and an oscillation circuit. The conversion circuit converts the input voltage into an output voltage, and provides the output voltage to supply power to the LED lamp so as to control the LED lamp to provide a first brightness. The oscillation circuit provides a dimming signal with a fixed frequency and a duty cycle to the switch when the external detection switch is turned on so as to turn on and turn off the switch. The switch correspondingly adjusts the output voltage according to the dimming signal to control the LED lamp to provide a second brightness.

  • Patent number: 11192601
    Abstract: A step sporting equipment with a double transmission mechanism, wherein a transmission mechanism and a treading mechanism are located on both sides of a frame body respectively. Each transmission mechanism at least comprises a front wheel disc, a rear wheel disc and a driving piece. Each treading mechanism is connected to the corresponding transmission mechanism. When the user treads on each treading mechanism, each treading mechanism can compel the corresponding transmission mechanism to work. In addition, as the front wheel disc and rear wheel disc are linked by a driving piece, there is higher moving phase. Therefore, with two transmission mechanisms, the dimensional discrepancy of elements resulted from tolerance can be tolerated effectively, and the step sporting equipment can remain in normal operation.
