  • Publication number: 20210043181
    Abstract: A loudspeaker for music of the mobile phone includes a sound-transmitting tube with a bell mouth closed at one end and on the tube surface, and a retractable and rotatable externally-closed compensating tube inserted into the sound-transmitting tube, and a long groove-shaped corresponding socket at the relative place of the tube surface of the sound-transmitting tube and the compensating tube, and then the angle and position of the compensating tube are rotated and telescoped, so that a open is formed between two sockets of the sound-transmitting tube and the compensating tube for obliquely inserting the mobile phone with the appropriate width and thickness, so that the music sound played out from the bottom of the mobile phone can be more fully played out from the bell mouth via the sound-transmitting tube, and then the volume is larger, and the sound is warmer and richer.

  • Patent number: 10705571
    Abstract: A foldable electronic device includes a first base, a second base, a hinge, a brake, an object sensor, and a controller. The hinge pivotally connects the first base to the second base. The brake is disposed in the hinge. When the first base is expanded with respect to the second base, the object sensor senses whether an object is placed on the second base. When the object sensor senses that the object is placed on the second base, the object sensor sends out a sensed signal. The controller selectively switches on the brake in response to the sensed signal, so as to restrain a rotating angle formed by the first base and the second base.

  • Patent number: 10697816
    Abstract: A measuring device for measuring a volume variation of liquid received in a bottle includes a bottle sleeve and a weight detecting module. A first accommodating space, a second accommodating space and a first opening are formed on the bottle sleeve. The first opening is communicated with the first accommodating space. The bottle sleeve is elastic. An inner diameter of at least one portion of the first accommodating space is less than an outer diameter of the bottle. The bottle sleeve holds the bottle when the bottle is inserted into the first accommodating space via the first opening. The weight detecting module is disposed inside the second accommodating space to measure weights of the bottle and the liquid at different time points and to determine the volume variation of the liquid according to a difference of the weights of the bottle and the liquid at different time points.

  • Patent number: 10627279
    Abstract: A measuring device includes a first body, a second body slidably combined with the first body, a first pressure sensing component, and a control unit. The first body is for supporting a cup receiving liquid. The first pressure sensing component is disposed between the first body and the second body for sensing weight of the cup and the liquid and generating a signal corresponding to the weight. The control unit is electrically connected to the first pressure sensing component. The control unit determines a volume variation of the liquid according to a weight variation of the cup and the liquid calculated based on a difference between signals transmitted from the first pressure sensing component at different time points.

  • Patent number: 10502790
    Abstract: The present invention discloses a battery internal resistance measuring device and a method thereof, wherein the battery internal resistance measuring device comprises a voltage detecting unit, at least one measurement resistor, at least one switch, and a measurement controller. By means of further explanation, the measurement controller at least comprises a differential value calculating unit for treating a differential value calculation or a slope calculation to each two of adjacent voltage sampling values on a waveform of a discharge voltage signal of the battery, such that the measurement controller can subsequently find out a discharge starting point and a discharge ending point according to data of the differential value calculations or the slope calculations. Eventually, the measurement controller calculates an internal resistance of the battery after picking up an open-circuit voltage and a short-circuit voltage from the discharge starting point and the discharge ending point.

  • Patent number: 10082543
    Abstract: In view of drivers cannot equip their vehicles with conventional intelligent battery monitoring system by themselves because the wire connections of the intelligent battery monitoring system are complex, the present invention particularly discloses a non-contact intelligent battery sensing system showing the advantages of simple circuit framework and low manufacturing cost. Since the non-contact intelligent battery sensing system only comprises a magnetic field sensor and a sensor controlling module, it is very easy for the drivers to equip their vehicles with this non-contact intelligent battery sensing system by themselves. To apply the non-contact intelligent battery sensing system, the driver just needs to firstly dispose the magnetic field sensor at one position near to a power line of a battery to be sensed, and then install a sensor controlling application program in his smart phones. Apparently, the non-contact intelligent battery sensing system further shows the advantage of easy to be installed.
