  • Publication number: 20130076364
    Abstract: A battery detection method detecting if a voltage to be tested falls within a voltage range between a highest voltage of a rechargeable battery and a highest detection voltage. If the voltage to be tested is less than the highest detection voltage, further determine if the voltage to be tested reaches a target voltage within a test time period. If the voltage to be tested reaches the target voltage after the test time period expires, determine that the voltage to be tested is from a rechargeable battery. If the voltage to be tested reaches the target voltage within the test time period, determine that the voltage to be tested is from a non-rechargeable battery. Accordingly, the battery detection method can easily detect if a voltage to be tested is from a rechargeable battery.

  • Publication number: 20110195599
    Abstract: A flat restorable cable has a cable body and two connectors. The cable body is wound to have a spirally wound form. The cable body is extended by pulling two ends of the cable, and restores back to the original spirally wound form once either end of the cable is released. The two connectors are securely mounted to respective ends of the cable body and used to respectively connect with two external compatible interfaces. As a result of less part required, compact size and thin thickness, the flat restorable cable addresses an inexpensive and portable solution to connect two electronic devices over a short distance.

  • Patent number: 7917781
    Abstract: A universal series bus (USB) power supply has a DC power source, a USB power interface and a voltage modulation module. The USB power interface is for connecting to an electronic device that stores a default D+ voltage and a default D? voltage. The voltage modulation module connects to and outputs signals to the D+ and D? terminals of the USB power interface. If voltage levels of the output signals are not respectively identical to the default D+ and D? voltages, the voltage modulation module changes the voltage levels of the signals output to the D+ and D? terminals of the USB power interface until the voltage levels of the output signals are respectively identical to the default D+ and D? voltages. Therefore, the USB power supply may be applied to any kind of electronic device that is charged over a USB interface.
