  • Patent number: 8049690
    Abstract: A circuit and a method for driving light emitting diodes (LEDs) are provided. First, an input voltage is converted into an output voltage and the output voltage is transmitted to the anode terminals of LED strings. The output voltage is reduced when the output voltage is greater than a first threshold voltage and the output voltage is reduced when the lowest level among the cathode terminal voltages of all the LED strings is greater than a second threshold voltage. Thus, the output voltage can be maintained at a lower level for driving all the LED strings to reduce unnecessary power wastage.

  • Patent number: 7934659
    Abstract: The wireless PDT of the present invention employs a “display-on bottom” design which places the unit perfectly centered in the hand of the operator, allowing for the best possible viewing as well as providing comfortable single-handed operation. The high-resolution LCD display allows the PCT to show sharp, clear bitmap images while supporting all Windows-recognized font types and sizes. With the auto back-lit feature, the brightness adjusts automatically making the screen easy to read in all light conditions. The PDT is designed for support within the download/charger cradle of a base station which interfaces with a host system using either USB or RS232 interface. Two standard ‘AA’ or rechargeable Li-Ion batteries provide more than 100 hours of operation. In addition, the PDT comes standard with 2 MB of RAM providing enough memory to store over 100,000 records.
