  • Publication number: 20240146205
    Abstract: A flyback power converter includes a power transformer, a first lossless voltage conversion circuit, a first low-dropout linear regulator and a secondary side power supply circuit. The first low-dropout linear regulator (LDO) generates a first operation voltage as power supply for being supplied to a sub-operation circuit. The secondary side power supply circuit includes a second lossless voltage conversion circuit and a second LDO. The second LDO generates a second operation voltage. The first operation voltage and the second operation voltage are shunted to a common node. When a first lossless conversion voltage is greater than a first threshold voltage, the second LDO is enabled to generate the second operation voltage to replace the first operation voltage as power supply supplied to the sub-operation circuit; wherein the second lossless conversion voltage is lower than the first lossless switching voltage.

  • Patent number: 11942750
    Abstract: A laser inspection system is provided. A laser source emits a laser with a first spectrum and the laser is transmitted by a first optical fiber. A gain optical fiber doped with special ions is connected to the first optical fiber, and a light detector is provided around the gain optical fiber. When the laser with the first spectrum passes through the gain optical fiber, the gain optical fiber absorbs part of the energy level of the laser with the first spectrum, so that the laser with the first spectrum is converted to generate light with a second spectrum based on the frequency conversion phenomenon. The light detector detects the intensity of the light with the second spectrum, so that the power of the laser source can be obtained.

  • Patent number: 11372466
    Abstract: A power saving method for a peripheral device in a wireless operation mode is provided. The power saving method at least includes the steps of allowing the peripheral device to enter an idle mode and judging whether the peripheral device receives a startup trigger event. In the idle mode, the light source in an operation region of the peripheral device is in an on state or a high-brightness state. If the peripheral device receives the startup trigger event, the peripheral device is switched from the idle mode to a power saving mode. In the power saving mode, the light source in the operation region of the peripheral device is in an off state or a low-brightness state. The peripheral device in the power saving mode consumes less electric power than the peripheral device in the idle mode.

  • Patent number: 10785685
    Abstract: A cloud radio access network system includes remote signal sources, a baseband processing unit pool, an access management server, a software defined network controller and a network signal forwarder. Each remote signal source is configured to transmit an access signal. The baseband processing unit pool provides a baseband processing signal. The access management server provides an access state signal. Different maximum transmission rates are transmitted via the access state signal. When the baseband processing unit pool has authenticated one remote signal source, the baseband processing unit pool transmits an authentication notification signal to the access management server. Then, the access management server informs the software defined network controller according to the authentication notification signal to increase an upper limit of a signal transmission rate between the baseband processing unit pool and the authenticated remote signal source to a higher one of the maximum transmission rates.
