  • Publication number: 20240150017
    Abstract: A hanging structure applicable to an unmanned aerial vehicle includes a hook-shaped body and at least one hook claw. The hook-shaped body has a bottom, at least one pivoting end, and an abutting portion. A hook opening is provided between the at least one pivoting end and the abutting portion and is opposite to the bottom. In addition, the at least one hook claw has a pivoting portion, and a first claw portion and a second claw portion that extend from the pivoting portion, respectively. The pivoting portion is pivoted to the at least one pivoting end. The second claw portion is heavier than the first claw portion. When the hanging structure is in a hanging state, a first end of the first claw portion abuts against the abutting portion, and the hook opening is closed. An unmanned aerial vehicle hanging system including the above hanging structure is further provided.

  • Patent number: 11636055
    Abstract: A method for performing access management of a memory device in predetermined communications architecture with aid of flexible delay time control and associated apparatus are provided. The method may include: utilizing at least one upper layer controller of a transmission interface circuit within the memory controller to dynamically set a delay parameter regarding transmission from the memory device to a host device, for preventing sleeping in delay time(s) corresponding to the delay parameter; utilizing a physical layer (PHY) circuit of the transmission interface circuit to transmit first data from the memory device to the host device, wherein a first delay time starts from a first time point at which transmitting the first data from the memory device to the host device is completed; and utilizing the PHY circuit to start transmitting second data from the memory device to the host device in the first delay time without restarting from sleeping.

  • Publication number: 20210278892
    Abstract: An electronic device comprises a clock request pad, a multiplexer and a control circuit. The clock request pad is arranged to refer to a first control signal to operate under a low voltage level or a high voltage level, to indicate whether the electronic device needs a clock signal generated from a clock generation circuit external to the electronic device. Said multiplexer is arranged to refer to a second control signal to output one of a voltage level of the clock request pad and a predetermined voltage level to function as a multiplexer output signal. The control circuit is coupled to said multiplexer, and refers to said multiplexer output signal to determine whether to control the electronic device to operate in a power-saving mode.
