  • Patent number: 8952662
    Abstract: A battery control circuit for balancing a battery includes a voltage detector, a controller, a balancing device, and a switch. The voltage detector is configured to detect a voltage difference of the battery so as to generate a detecting signal. The controller is configured to generate a control signal according to the detecting signal. The switch is coupled between the battery and the balancing device, and is opened or closed according to the control signal, wherein if the voltage difference is greater than a threshold value, the switch is closed and the balancing device draws a load current from the battery, and if the voltage difference is smaller than or equal to the threshold value, the switch is opened and the balancing device is not capable of drawing any current.

  • Patent number: 6856289
    Abstract: An antenna of a four-band printed circuit board is disclosed, which uses metal electrode plates on A, B sides and a substrate interlayer formed of glass fiber dielectric insulator. The A-side electrode plate is grounded to a reflective plane to form a U-like pattern, wherein a left metal sheet is symmetric to a right metal sheet and the two sheets respectively have three gaps so as to form an intermittent metal plane. The middle of the U-like pattern is implemented with four metal ring electrodes and one electrode is circuit-shorted to the B-side electrode plate for increasing antenna sensibility and reducing antenna size. In addition, in this case, one antenna can be shared by four operating bands to receive and transmit via switching, so the manufacturing cost is low and the prior art disadvantage of only receiving and transmitting single- or double-band signal in a typical linear antenna is overcome.

  • Patent number: 6816119
    Abstract: A PCB antenna for receiving distinct polarization signal is disclosed, which is formed a plurality of circular electrodes printed on a substrate. There are pluralities of metal splices between the circular electrodes so that each circular electrode is short in order to obtain the best sensitivity for receiving the different polarization signal. The PCB antenna is connected with a signal processing unit via the coaxial fed or the microstrip fed for transmitting the signal the PCB antenna received.
