  • Publication number: 20240072672
    Abstract: A control method is in use of an interleaved power converter with first and second power stages for generating an output power source. A compensation is generated in response to a feedback signal and a reference voltage, and the feedback signal represents the output power source. The output power of the first power stage is controlled to supply to the output power source in response to the compensation signal. The operation status of the second power stage is switched in response to the compensation signal and the feedback signal, and is prevented from being switched when the feedback signal is beyond a stable range covering the reference voltage.

  • Patent number: 11794319
    Abstract: A screwdriver includes a first section, a second section where a positioning groove is annularly formed, a sleeve member detachably disposed on the second section, and an engagement member disposed in the sleeve member. The sleeve member has a body with a through hole, a magnetic unit disposed in the through hole, and an accommodation groove adapted to accommodate the engagement member. When the second section and the sleeve member engage in position, the accommodation groove and the positioning groove meet to engage the engagement member with the positioning groove. The engagement between the second section and the sleeve member allows a gap to be formed between a screw head and the sleeve member while inserting the second section into a socket of the screw head, so the magnetic attraction exists without the contact between the sleeve member and the screw head for a firm engagement therebetween.

  • Patent number: 11685027
    Abstract: A non-magnetic locking sleeve includes an engagement unit disposed in a body which includes a locking socket and a positioning groove. The locking socket is enclosed by a plurality of peripheral walls connected one after another for holding a fastener. The positioning groove is annularly recessed into the peripheral walls for receiving the engagement unit. Preferably, an intersection of two adjacent peripheral walls forms a recessed portion whereby the fastener is held by the peripheral walls more tightly while inserting into the locking socket. A periphery of the engagement unit can be formed with a rough surface or at least one engaging surface to increase a contact area between the engagement unit and the fastener. Accordingly, the fastener is firmly positioned by the locking sleeve to increase the stability of a following fastening operation executed by the fastener.

  • Patent number: 10204504
    Abstract: An electronic device including a signal processing circuit, an acceleration sensor, and an edge sensor is provided. The electronic device has a device body. The signal processing circuit operates in a sleep mode. The acceleration sensor senses an acceleration variation of the device body to generate an acceleration sensing signal. The acceleration sensor determines whether the acceleration sensing signal is continuously lower than an acceleration threshold for a preset length of time to wake up the signal processing circuit. When the acceleration sensor wakes up the signal processing circuit, the signal processor enables the edge sensor. The edge sensor senses a deformation variation of the device body to generate at least one deformation sensing signal. The signal processing circuit analyzes the deformation sensing signal to determine whether a drop event of the device body occurs. In addition, a drop warning method is also provided.
