  • Publication number: 20210373052
    Abstract: Herein disclosed is an error warning module, installed in an electronic device, comprising a detection unit and a processing unit. The detection unit detects a current or a voltage being transmitted by the electronic device to generate a current detection signal or a voltage detection signal. The processing unit, electrically connected to the detection unit, determines whether a current detection value indicated by the current detection signal exceeds a current setting range, or whether a voltage detection value indicated by the voltage detection signal exceeds a voltage setting range. When the current detection value exceeds the current setting range or the voltage detection value exceeds the voltage setting range, the processing unit generates a warning signal.

  • Patent number: 8091606
    Abstract: An operating wand has a handle, an upper rod connected by an intermediate rod having one end pivotably attached to the upper end of the handle and the opposite end pivotably attached to the lower end of the upper rod. A sleeve slides along the upper rod between a first position and a second position. When in the first position the sleeve covers a portion of the upper rod, the handle, and the intermediate rod, keeping the handle, intermediate rod and upper rod in a co-linear alignment. When the sleeve is in the second position, the handle and intermediate rod are fully exposed allowing the intermediate rod to be moved relative to the handle and the upper rod so that the intermediate rod is normal to the handle and normal to the upper rod. With the sleeve in the second position the wand can be operated like a crank.
