Abstract: The present invention relates to a portable blower including: a body including a body housing and formed with a gripping portion; an airflow generating device, wherein the airflow generating device is connected with the body housing and comprises a motor and a fan driven by the motor to rotate so as to generate airflow; and a volute accommodating the fan therein, the volute including an air intake portion and an air outlet in fluid communication with each other; wherein the volute is rotatable, preferably up to 180 degrees, relative to the body so as to adjust the angle of the air outlet.

Abstract: The power input stabilizing circuit provides a first resistor at the input terminals to suppress impulse current. Then, the power passes through a power input limiting circuit including a non-polarity capacitor, a rectifier circuit formed by diodes, and a polarity capacitor so as to provide a current within a specific range to a load. A constant current circuit including a third resistor, a diode, a fourth resistor, and a transistor is then employed to stabilize the load current. The performance and durability of the electrical or electronic appliance using the power input stabilizing circuit are therefore enhanced significantly.

Abstract: A battery chamber of button-cell batteries for consumer electronic devices is provided herein, which mainly contains a top member and a bottom member joined together to form a number of cell rooms for the accommodation of the button-cell batteries. A number of conduction plates covers the top and bottom of the cell rooms and electrically connects the button-cell batteries into a series connection. The thickness of the top and bottom members is roughly one half of a standard button-cell battery. The top and bottom members can be easily pried open for the installation and removal of the button-cell batteries.

Abstract: A refractive coaster includes a bottom cover, a circular seat mounted on the bottom cover, a plurality of batteries fitted inside the seat, a printed circuit board arranged on the bottom cover and electrically connected with the batteries and provided with an annular ring-like electrode and a plurality of light-emitting members, a conducting pin having an immediate portion formed with a flange and having a lower end extending downwardly through the annular ring-like electrode, a spring fitted on an upper end of the conducting pin and urging the lower end of the conducting pin to move downwardly out the bottom cover, a bowl-shaped base made of transparent material and having an opening at a central portion thereof and a mirrored surface at an upper side thereof, the bowl shaped base being fitted in the circular seat with the light-emitting members protruding upwardly out of the opening, a circular lid made of transparent material and arranged on the base and having a bottom side formed with a mirrored surface

Abstract: A variable resistor includes a circuit board having a conductive layer and a plurality of impedance layers arranged under the conductive layer, a slide having a metal contact plate movably mounted over the conductive layer and the impedance layers, wherein the impedance layers and the conductive layer have electric contacts respectively connected to circuit devices, output potentials at the electric contacts being relatively changed when the slide is moved with over the metal conductive layer and the impedance layers thereby controlling current flowing through the circuit devices.
