  • Patent number: 11212122
    Abstract: A power source device coupled to a power device includes an output port and a controller. When the output port is coupled to a connection cable, the controller is activated to generate a handshake signal, so as to communicate with the power device. When it is determined that the power device is able to be powered according to the handshake signal, the controller controls the power supply device to power the power device through the connection cable. When the connection cable is not coupled to the output port, the controller is deactivated and thus the handshake signal is not generated.

  • Patent number: 10505388
    Abstract: A power converting device includes an AC/DC converter, a switch, and a controlling unit. The AC/DC converter converts AC power into a DC voltage, and provides the DC voltage to a load. The switch is coupled to a backup power source. The controlling unit receives the DC voltage. If the DC voltage is less than a predetermined voltage or a decrease of the DC voltage is greater than a predetermined percentage of the DC voltage and the controlling unit receives a voltage command signal of the backup power source, the controlling unit turns on the switch for providing the backup power source to the load.
