  • Patent number: 7548052
    Abstract: An AC power source controller includes an input side, which is electrically connected to an output side via a power source controlling interface; and a phase modulator, which is electrically connected to the power source controlling interface. The phase modulator includes a microcontroller unit, an encoding DIP switch, a control signal receiving module, and a signal detecting interface, which may accurately detect the phase variation of an input power source so that, according to chosen conducting phase Pn, the microcontroller unit may automatically adjust the time delay Dn between conducting and cutting off orders sent to the power source control interface to control the power source output accurately, whereby the inaccuracy and instability of AC power source output control and phase difference between current and voltage generated by reactance load may be improved.

  • Publication number: 20060161424
    Abstract: A digital multi-tone audio-sensing controller includes an audio receiver, a signal processor, a driver and a load. The audio receiver receives and outputs an external analog signal and the external analog signal are subject to amplification, frequency-division and digitalization by the signal processor for generating an external digital signal. The driver electrically outputs a driving signal based on the external digital signal. Therefore, multiple loads can be driven in programmable and flexible way.

  • Publication number: 20060033604
    Abstract: A network-based remote-control apparatus and a network switch are proposed. The network-based remote-control apparatus comprises a remote computer, an Internet, a gateway, a server and a network switch. Through the network-based remote-control apparatus, user sends a command signal by using the remote computer and the command signal is sent to the network switch through the Internet. The network switch sends control signal to drive the remote controller inserted to the network switch such that the remote controller sends functional control signal to the electrical appliance to trigger the electrical appliance. Moreover user can also fetch image of the electrical appliance to monitor the operation status of the electrical appliance.
