  • Publication number: 20220064994
    Abstract: An anti-theft lock includes an engaging member arranged on a chassis, a latch module including a connecting member and a latch coupled to the connecting member, a fixing module coupled to the connecting member, a magnetic module arranged on the top cover and used to cooperate with the fixing module to control movement of the connecting member, and an unlocking mechanism including magnetic members. The connecting member is movably arranged on a top cover. The latch is engaged with or separated from the engaging member through movement of the connecting member. The magnetic members are attracted to or repelled from the magnetic module so that the magnetic module fixes or loosens the connecting member. When the connecting member can move, the latch is disengaged from and separated from the engaging member.

  • Publication number: 20210270906
    Abstract: In a battery management controller, analog-to-digital conversion circuitry converts analog signals, indicative of a battery voltage, a battery current, and a battery temperature, to digital signals. A memory stores a remaining-capacity lookup table that includes multiple groups of data. Each group of data includes a voltage, a current, a temperature, and a parameter associated with a remaining capacity corresponding to the voltage, the current and the temperature. A processor searches the lookup table for a current parameter value and an end-of-discharge parameter value based on the digital signals, and determines a full available charge capacity of the battery based on the current parameter value and the end-of-discharge parameter value. The processor also counts the number of charges flowing through the battery based on a battery current. The processor further determines an available state of charge of the battery according to the full available charge capacity and the number of charges.

  • Patent number: 11103776
    Abstract: An external control device for a game controller is provided, including a casing, a second adapter, a mode selector, a memory, and a conversion circuit. The second adapter is provided for being connected to the first adapter of the game controller. The mode selector is provided for outputting one of selection signals. The memory stores different encode data. The conversion circuit selects encode data according to the selection signals output from the mode selector, and encodes and converts the button signal into a pre-formatted wireless signal according to the selected encode data, and then sends the pre-formatted wireless signal through a wireless signal transmitting circuit. Thus, the button signal of the game controller is converted into a wireless signal corresponding to another game console providing another game control device integrating the game controller with the external control device, which has the same effect.
