  • Patent number: 9565042
    Abstract: An ultra-low power transmitter applied in multi-channel frequency shift keying (FSK) communication is provided. The transmitter includes a fixed-frequency generation device, a low-frequency frequency synthesizer, and an injection locking device. The fixed-frequency generation device provides a reference frequency to the low-frequency frequency synthesizer. The frequency synthesizer divides the reference frequency with corresponding divisors for generating a plurality of divided frequency signals. Then, the divided frequency signals are injected into the injection locking device. The injection locking device will lock at the average frequency of previously mentioned divided frequencies. Wherein, the injection locking device filters the high frequency noise, which is produced by the frequency synthesizer, at the time of the injection locking. The ultra-low power transmitter obtains a high-frequency transmitted signal by using the frequency-locked signal.

  • Patent number: 8441460
    Abstract: A touch sensitive apparatus for providing side touch panel as part of man-machine interface is provided. A front panel are disposed on the front surface. A first sensor being a resistive or capacitive type sensor is disposed on or under one of plurality of side surfaces for sensing a touch thereon. A first sensor controller coupling the first sensor is for generating one or more signals in response to the touch on the first sensor. An application module provides a plurality of applications each comprising a plurality of function handlers. A system framework provides registration information for each function handler associated with an action type on the first sensor, determines an action type in terms of the signal(s) from the first sensor controller, and drives one function handler to perform a specific function according to the determined action type and the registration information.
