Publication number: 20240136864Abstract: A wireless power transmission device includes a transmission device and a control device. The control device generates a driving signal to the transmission device in a first soft-start period, so as to drive the transmission device. The control device measures an energy message generated by the transmission device to generate a measurement result in a measurement period, and calculates a signal parameter according to the measurement result. The control device accordingly generates a carrier signal according to the signal parameter obtained by the measurement period in a second soft-start period. In a transmission period, the carrier signal is transmitted to the wireless power-receiving device through the transmission device. The energy message is generated by the transmission device in response to a distance between the transmission device and the wireless power-receiving device.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 6, 2023Publication date: April 25, 2024Inventors: Fu-Chi LIN, Po-Chang CHEN, Wen-Ti LO

Publication number: 20240128876Abstract: A switching control circuit for use in controlling a resonant flyback power converter generates a first driving signal and a second driving signal. The first driving signal is configured to turn on the first transistor to generate a first current to magnetize a transformer and charge a resonant capacitor. The transformer and charge a resonant capacitor are connected in series. The second driving signal is configured to turn on the second transistor to generate a second current to discharge the resonant capacitor. During a power-on period of the resonant flyback power converter, the second driving signal includes a plurality of short-pulses configured to turn on the second transistor for discharging the resonant capacitor. A pulse-width of the short-pulses of the second driving signal is short to an extent that the second current does not exceed a current limit threshold.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 15, 2023Publication date: April 18, 2024Inventors: Yu-Chang Chen, Ta-Yung Yang, Kun-Yu Lin, Fu-Ciao Syu, Chia-Hsien Yang, Hsin-Yi Wu

Publication number: 20240120844Abstract: A resonant flyback power converter includes: a first and a second transistors which form a half-bridge circuit for switching a transformer and a resonant capacitor to generate an output voltage; a current-sense device for sensing a switching current of the half-bridge circuit to generate a current-sense signal; and a switching control circuit generating a first and a second driving signals for controlling the first and the second transistors. The turn-on of the first driving signal controls the half-bridge circuit to generate a positive current to magnetize the transformer and charge the resonant capacitor. The turn-on of the second driving signal controls the half-bridge circuit to generate a negative current to discharge the resonant capacitor. The switching control circuit turns off the first transistor when the positive current exceeds a positive-over-current threshold, and/or, turns off the second transistor when the negative current exceeds a negative-over-current threshold.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 10, 2023Publication date: April 11, 2024Inventors: Kun-Yu LIN, Ta-Yung YANG, Yu-Chang CHEN, Hsin-Yi WU, Fu-Ciao SYU, Chia-Hsien YANG

Patent number: 7126613Abstract: A graphic processing method is implemented to determine which processing method is to be performed to improve graphic processing speed. First, it is determined whether the document page to be processed includes a large amount of graphics, in which case the document page is divided into a plurality of blocks to be sampled.
