  • Publication number: 20170302316
    Abstract: A tunable matching circuit for use with ultra-low power RF receivers is described to support a variety of RF communication bands. A switched-capacitor array and a switched-resistor array are used to adjust the input impedance presented by the operating characteristics of transistors in an ultra-low-power mode. An RF sensor may be used to monitor performance of the tunable matching circuit and thereby determine optimal setting of the digital control word that drives the switched-capacitor array and switched-resistor array. An effective match over a significant bandwidth is achievable. The optimal matching configuration may be updated at any time to adjust to changing operating conditions. Memory may be used to store the optimal matching configurations of the switched capacitor array and switched resistor array.

  • Patent number: 9628687
    Abstract: A method for controlling flash includes obtaining a color temperature of a current environment from a sensor of an electronic device. Once a first flash of a flash is turned on, a color temperature of the first flash is controlled to be equal to the color temperature of the current environment by adjusting a ratio between current of a high color temperature light-emitting diode (LED) of the electronic device and current of a low color temperature LED of the electronic device.

  • Patent number: 9625218
    Abstract: A heat dissipation device includes a mounting bracket and a thermal module. The mounting bracket has at least one retaining hole and a mounting section, and the thermal module includes a plurality of radiating fins, to which the mounting bracket is connected. On the radiating fins, at least one engaging zone is provided for correspondingly engaging with the mounting bracket, and at least one locking portion is formed for correspondingly engaging with the retaining hole. With the above structural design, the mounting bracket can be more firmly and stably connected to the thermal module and be more accurately located on the radiating fins without the need of welding, so that the manufacturing cost for welding is saved. A method of manufacturing the heat dissipation device is also disclosed.

  • Patent number: 9521308
    Abstract: A method for controlling a flash of an electronic device by detecting an illumination intensity and a color temperature of a current environment from a RGB sensor. When the illumination intensity is lower than a first predetermined value, a pre-flash of the flash is turned on. Control a color temperature of the pre-flash to be equal to the color temperature when the color temperature is lower than a second predetermined value. A distance between a target object and the camera is obtained, adjusting the current of the high color temperature LED and the current of the low color temperature LED simultaneously according to the obtained distance after turning on a main-flash of the flash to capture an image of the target object.
