  • Publication number: 20100054387
    Abstract: The present invention discloses a synchronizing device for real-time USB audio data transmission, comprising: a first adder unit, a start-of-frame countdown unit, a phase-locked loop circuit, a frequency divider, a second adder unit, a third adder unit, a fourth adder unit, a frame calibrating register unit, a calibrating mapping unit and a calibrating pulse generating unit. A start-of-frame token sent by the USB host is used as a 1-ms reference cycle so that a high-frequency clock passes through the frequency divider to issue a first clock. The first clock signal has a constant clock number in a USB start-of-frame. The absolute time is automatically adjusted according to the duration of a previous start-of-frame. Therefore, asynchronicity of data transmission between the USB host and external devices can be overcome.

  • Patent number: 7607733
    Abstract: A folding super chair includes a front leg frame, a backrest, a backrest frame and a ganging device. The backrest frame has a contour corresponding to an upper inner portion of the front leg frame and an L-shaped cross section. The backrest frame is disposed between the front leg frame and the backrest. The backrest is placed on the backrest frame, which relieve stress. Thus, a ridge of the backrest does not deform, and the backrest is securely fixed on the folding super chair. The ganging device includes a main member, a slot fastener and a knob fastener. The main member has a front face, a rear face and two side faces. The rear face is larger than the front face, and therefore the two side faces form an included angle therebetween. When the folding super chairs are lined up and connected by the ganging device, the folding super chairs form a curved row.

  • Publication number: 20090116603
    Abstract: A universal series bus (USB) frequency synchronous apparatus using a start of frame (SOF) signal generated by a master device to mark a reference interval is disclosed. The frequency synchronizing apparatus includes a frequency divider, a counter unit with a default pulse number, an arithmetic unit, and an adjusting unit. The frequency divider divides a high frequency signal by a variable frequency factor to generate a lock frequency signal. The counter is used to detect a pulse number of the lock frequency signal at a reference interval and obtain a pulse difference between the default pulse number and the detected pulse number of the lock frequency signal.

  • Publication number: 20090027231
    Abstract: A parking information sensing device is disclosed. Each parking space in a parking lot is disposed with a parking information sensing device for detecting whether there is a car on the parking space. By means of a driving control circuit, the parking information sensing device drives a light emitting unit to emit a light and a reflecting element of the parking space is on a pathway of the light. The light is reflected by the reflecting element and then the reflected light passes an light sensing unit that detects the reflected light and generates a first sensing signal sent to the driving control circuit. Thus the driving control circuit judges there is no vehicle on the parking space. On the other hand, the judges there is a car on the parking space according to other sensing signal. Moreover, the parking information sensing device further includes a first transmitting/receiving unit that forms a wireless mesh network among parking information sensing devices.
