  • Patent number: 9333856
    Abstract: A device for controlling power to a vehicular differential speed controller is applied to control a differential speed controller inside a vehicle, and has an input voltage regulation circuit, a trigger circuit, a driving circuit and a relay. The input voltage regulation circuit converts an input voltage into an operating voltage and supplies the operating voltage to the trigger circuit. The trigger circuit generates a trigger signal after receiving a parking brake signal, such that the driving circuit activates the relay according to the trigger signal and supplies an output voltage to the differential speed controller. Accordingly, the present invention can automatically provide a sufficient power supply time to the differential speed controller to switch an operation state of a vehicle differential to a locked state when the vehicle power is switched off and the parking brake is activated.

  • Patent number: 9228555
    Abstract: An engine ignition control device includes: a pulser; and a control unit, which includes a micro control unit (MCU) and a printed circuit board (PCB). The PCB is electrically connected to the micro control unit, wherein the PCB includes a back porch signal generating circuit. The back porch signal generating circuit is electrically connected to the micro control unit, and includes a bipolar junction transistor (BJT). Emitter (E) of the bipolar junction transistor is electrically connected to the pulser, collector (C) of the bipolar junction transistor is electrically connected to the micro control unit, and base (B) of the bipolar junction transistor is increased to a predetermined voltage level that is larger than 0V.
