  • Patent number: 6940234
    Abstract: This invention discloses an arc discharge protection device for preventing an arc discharge effect produced by an abnormal phenomenon in the high-voltage output area. After a voltage conversion unit of this arc discharge protection device receives the high-voltage arc discharge signal in the high-voltage output area, the signal is converted into a low-voltage arc discharge signal. A filter unit is provided to determine the potential and filter the abnormal frequency signal, and then the rectify unit will receive the abnormal frequency signal and output an arc wave clutter after the rectification. A touch control unit will detect the arc wave clutter and output a trigger signal to stop the operation of the control unit or the driving unit, and thus achieving the purpose of preventing sparks or burning caused by the heat accumulated in the peripheral components during the arc discharge effect.

  • Patent number: 6867955
    Abstract: An arc discharge protection apparatus to prevent arc discharge from occurring in a high voltage output zone caused by abnormal conditions includes an electrode plate to absorb high voltage arc discharge signals released by a voltage boosting unit in the high voltage output zone. A voltage switch unit receives the high voltage arc discharge signals absorbed by the electrode plate and transforms to low voltage arc discharge signals. A rectification unit receives and rectifies the low voltage arc discharge signals and outputs an arc hybrid wave. A trigger unit detects the arc hybrid wave and outputs a trigger signal to stop operation of the control unit or driving unit, thereby prevents arc discharge from causing damage to the surrounding elements resulting from accumulation of heat or sparks.

  • Patent number: 6661072
    Abstract: A piezoelectric ceramic transistor is formed from a single-layered or multi-stacked layers piezoelectric ceramic voltage transformer and a capacitor, the capacitor being series connected to an input terminal of the piezoelectric ceramic voltage transformer to prevent electric power and prevent loss due to feedback, thereby compensating and increasing vibrations of the piezoelectric ceramic voltage transformer. Alternatively, the above connection scheme is achieved by either serial connecting a capacitor between a power output of the transformer and a load terminal, or parallel connecting a first capacitor to a power input of the transformer while a second capacitor is series connected between a power output of the transformer and the load terminal to obtain an increased power and thereby increasing the load current.
