  • Publication number: 20240106365
    Abstract: The application provides a motor control method for driving a motor. The motor control method includes: at a normal status, when the motor outputs power, determining whether an output current of the motor reaches a maximum current limit; when the output current of the motor reaches the maximum current limit, controlling the motor to enter a boosting status to raise a maximum instantaneous output power of the motor; and when the motor has reached a maximum time limit within a boosting period at the boosting status, or when the output current of the motor drops from the maximum current limit, controlling the motor to return to the normal status from the boosting status.

  • Patent number: 11338778
    Abstract: A braking system for an autonomous car is provided, including a car body, a pedal, a braking mechanism, a resistance ruler, a driving motor, a connecting member, a first micro switch, a second micro switch, and a control unit. The pedal is pivotally connected to the car body, the braking mechanism is connected to the pedal, and the resistance ruler is disposed on the pedal. The connecting member is connected to the driving motor and the pedal. The control unit is electrically connected to the driving motor, the resistance ruler, the first micro switch, and the second micro switch. When the pedal is in a first position relative to the car body, the pedal contacts and actuates the first micro switch. When the pedal rotates relative to the car body from the first position to a second position, the pedal contacts and actuates the second micro switch.

  • Publication number: 20220021224
    Abstract: A battery management device is provided in the invention. The battery management device includes a discharge circuit, a control circuit, and a switch circuit. The discharge circuit includes a plurality of discharge MOSFETs. The control circuit is coupled to the discharge circuit and when an abnormal discharge occurs, it generates a disable signal. The switch circuit is coupled between the discharge circuit and the control circuit and receives the disable signal from the control circuit. The switch circuit includes a switch MOSFET and the switch MOSFET is coupled to the plurality of discharge MOSFETs. When the switch circuit receives the disable signal, the switch MOSFET is enabled to disable the discharge circuit.

  • Patent number: 9684406
    Abstract: A method for operating a user interface, adapted to an electronic device. The steps include: receiving a wake-up signal; enabling a proximity sensing unit; determining whether the sensing value is greater than a predetermined value or not; displaying an application program in a first display area of a display unit by a processing unit and detecting a touch event corresponding to one of a plurality of sensing objects only by a second touching sensing area of a touch-sensing unit when the sensing value is greater than the predetermined value; obtaining a touch position corresponding to the touch event; and enabling an operation of the application program by the processing unit according to the touch position. A first touch-sensing area of the touch-sensing unit corresponds to the first display area, and the second touch-sensing area corresponds to a second display area.
