  • Publication number: 20190044369
    Abstract: A standby power supply device includes at least one port, at least one current detection unit, a power supply unit, and a control unit. Each port is configured to connect to an external powered device. A current detection unit is connected to one port. Each current detection unit detects the current of the port. When the current of one port exceeds a first predetermined value, the current detection unit outputs a first detection signal. The power supply unit supplies standby power to an external powered device. The control unit controls the power supply unit supply power to the external powered device when the control unit receives the detection signal from the corresponding current detection unit. When the control unit receives multiple first detection signals, the control unit controls the power supply unit to supply power to multiple external powered devices simultaneously.

  • Patent number: 10184003
    Abstract: The present invention encompasses PRLR binding proteins. Specifically, the invention relates to antibodies that are chimeric, CDR grafted and humanized antibodies. Preferred antibodies have high affinity for hPRLR and neutralize hPRLR activity in vitro and in vivo. An antibody of the invention can be a full-length antibody or an antigen-binding portion thereof. Methods of making and methods of using the antibodies of the invention are also provided. The antibodies, or antibody portions, of the invention are useful for detecting hPRLR and for inhibiting hPRLR activity, e.g., in a human subject suffering from a disorder in which hPRLR activity is detrimental. Also included in the invention are anti-PRLR antibody drug conjugates (ADCs).

  • Publication number: 20190011942
    Abstract: A power output control module for power distribution is installed inside a power distributor that is connected to an AC power source and multiple electronic devices to control the AC power outputted to the electronic devices. The power output control module continuously detects whether the AC power inputted is normal. When the AC power source is disconnected by accident, a latch relay is controlled to switch to be open, so that the AC power source and the electronic devices are disconnected. This prevents the instantaneous surge current from damaging the electronic devices when the AC power source resumes its normal output and also increases the safety and reliability of electronic devices.

  • Patent number: 10141750
    Abstract: A battery apparatus with voltage-balancing control and a method controlling the same employ a voltage-balancing module, which balances voltage values of multiple series-connected batteries of the battery apparatus, and accumulates voltage difference values of each battery relative to reference voltage values to adjust an allowable discharge control parameter Duty for each battery. By virtue of a cycle for updating the Duty, voltage differences of the multiple series-connected batteries can be lowered below a preset value.

    Abstract: A switched capacitor DC-DC convertor circuit and a production method thereof are described. The switched capacitor DC-DC convertor circuit includes two switched-capacitor circuits each including at least one capacitor, multiple internal switches and the same circuit layout. The internal switches of the two switched-capacitor circuits corresponding in position to each other are controlled by different control signals, and the turn-on durations of the control signals do not overlap. The capacitors of the two switched capacitor circuits are connected by an interconnection switch, and a turn-on duration of a control signal for the interconnection switch also does not overlap with that of the control signals for the internal switches. The switched capacitor DC-DC convertor circuit has a lower switching power loss compared to current state of the art.
