  • Patent number: 10894202
    Abstract: A shuffling machine having an auxiliary card press structure is disclosed. The shuffling machine includes at least one card delivering roller assembly. An outer side of the card delivering roller assembly is pivotally connected with a press arm having a return spring. Another end of the press arm is provided with a card press roller assembly. The card press roller assembly includes at least one magnetic roller. The card delivering roller assembly is provided with at least one magnetic member corresponding to the magnetic roller. When a left accommodating compartment or a right accommodating compartment of the shuffling machine has few playing cards, the magnetic member can attract the magnetic roller to increase the force of the card press roller assembly against the playing cards to increase friction to ensure smooth delivery without idling.

  • Patent number: 10792553
    Abstract: A shuffling machine has a central accommodating compartment, a left accommodating compartment, a right accommodating compartment, and a card dispensing space. A translation plate is disposed in the card dispensing space. A driving mechanism is connected to the translation plate. The translation plate is coupled with a card dispensing device for dispensing playing cards. The card dispensing device includes a fixed seat plate and a dispensing block. The fixed seat limits a vertical displacement of the dispensing block within a predetermined distance. Left and right sides of an underside of the dispensing to block have beveled edges. An underside of the fixed seat has an upper magnetic member. A top of the dispensing block has a lower magnetic member. The upper magnetic member and the lower magnetic member are arranged with their like poles to repel each other so that the fixed seat can repel the dispensing block downward.

  • Patent number: 8508206
    Abstract: The present invention discloses an adaptive constant ON time adjustment circuit, which generates a square wave signal having a constant normal ON time during normal operation, for controlling a power stage circuit to convert an input voltage to an output voltage. When the output voltage is shifted from low to high, during the transient period, the ON time is adjusted longer; and when the output voltage is shifted from high to low, during the transient period, the ON time is adjusted shorter.

  • Patent number: 8193794
    Abstract: A voltage regulator includes an adjuster to provide an adjust signal according to its load current to adjust at least one of the feedback signal, the reference signal, the error signal, and the ripple signal of the voltage regulator, to automatically adjust the output voltage. The output voltage increases when the load current increases, and decreases when the load current decreases. Preferably, a CCR voltage regulator according to the present invention will have its PWM frequency varying with its output voltage and thus have better transient performance.
