  • Patent number: 11218794
    Abstract: The present invention relates to an earphone, comprising an earphone body, an earphone cord, and a fixing member. The earphone body includes an earplug portion, a connecting portion, and a body portion. The fixing member shaped as a ring, and the middle portion of the ring includes a through hole. The fixing member includes a top wall located at an edge of the ring. The top wall is made of an elastic material. Among them, the connecting portion is connected to the earplug portion and the body portion. The connecting portion passes through the through hole and is fastened in the fixing member, and the fixing member and the connecting portion are members of the earphone that are placed in the cavitas conchae of the human ear. The beneficial effects of the present invention are that since the top wall of the fixing portion is made of a material that is susceptible to deformation, adaptive deformation is performed to match the different cavitas conchae, when subjected to the compression of the cavitas conchae.

  • Patent number: 11172286
    Abstract: The present invention relates to an earphone cover and an earphone having the same. The earphone cover is used to be placed on the earphone, comprising a sleeve portion and a fixing portion for setting the earphone cover on the earphone. The fixing portion encloses the sleeve portion, and the sleeve portion penetrates the fixing portion. The fixing portion includes a first end portion and a second end portion opposite to the first end portion. When the earphone cover is built in the human ear, the first end portion and the second end portion are in contact with the ear bone to form at least three setting points. Thus, after the earphone cover is set on the earphone, the earphone cover and the ear bone form three fixed points when the earphone is fixed in the ear, then the earphone may be firmly fixed in the ear bone through the three fixed points, and hence is not easy to fall off.

  • Publication number: 20150317203
    Abstract: A method is introduced for improving the data reliability of a memory device by jointly designing error-correcting codes and the reading process. In this method, simple and efficient error-correcting codes with a constant-composition part are designed for encoding data, and when reading data from memory cells, the reading reference levels may be dynamically adjusted based on the constant-composition information, which reduces the reading latency and improves the reading accuracy.

  • Patent number: 8780620
    Abstract: A memory device having a plurality of cells, each of which stores a value, where the values of the cells are mapped to discrete levels and the discrete levels represent data, is programmed by determining a maximum number of cell levels in the memory device, and determining the set of values that are associated with each of the cell levels. The maximum number of cell levels for the memory device is determined by an adaptive programming system connected to the memory device, based on a plurality of cell values attained by at least one cell of the memory device, in response to voltage applied by the adaptive programming system to the cells of the memory device. The adaptive programming system associates, for each of the cell levels, a different set of cell values of the plurality of cell values attained by the cells to which voltage is applied.
