Publication number: 20230210059Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a cutting device with a blade moving in parallel, a moving method and a plant trimmer. By the structural device, the round blade can be adjusted to be kept in vertical rising and dropping, and is always kept in parallel to the cutting mesh. By an adjustment knob, an adjustment screw is driven to rotate by a flexible shaft, so that the movable blade holder moves up and down, which completes the adjustment of the round blade in a visible region of the equipment.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 14, 2023Publication date: July 6, 2023Applicant: Shenzhen Huayu Agricultural Science and Technology Co., LTDInventor: Ken Guo

Patent number: 8766601Abstract: According to one exemplary embodiment, a multi-mode power management unit (PMU) includes a number of switchable conductive paths, where each of the switchable conductive paths corresponds to at least one of a number of power modes. The multi-mode PMU further includes a shared inductor residing in each of the switchable conductive paths. A current can flow through the shared inductor in a same direction in each of the power modes. The multi-mode PMU further includes a controller configured to set one of the power modes using one of the switchable conductive paths. The power modes can include a battery-to-electronic system power mode and a charge-battery power mode. The power modes can further include a battery-to-electronic system/camera flash power mode, a power port-to-electronic system/battery power mode, and a battery-to-electronic system/backlight LED power mode.Type: GrantFiled: September 21, 2011Date of Patent: July 1, 2014Assignee: Broadcom CorporationInventor: Ken Guo Chi Yang

Patent number: 8188706Abstract: According to one exemplary embodiment, a power management unit residing in an electronic device includes a battery detection controller coupled to a battery charger and a regulator block, where the regulator block is capable of providing power to the electronic device. The battery detection controller is configured to turn off the regulator block when the battery charger is coupled to an external power source and is not coupled to a battery of the electronic device. The battery detection controller can be further configured to turn on the regulator block when the battery charger is coupled to the external power source and is coupled to the battery if the battery has a battery voltage greater than a threshold voltage.Type: GrantFiled: December 10, 2007Date of Patent: May 29, 2012Assignee: Broadcom CorporationInventor: Ken Guo Chi Yang
