  • Publication number: 20240108820
    Abstract: An atomization device and a method of predicting atomization time for the same are provided. The atomization device includes a control module, an atomization module and a breathing sensing module. The method includes: configuring the breath sensing module to detect inhalations of a user using the atomization device, so as to generate initial breath data correspondingly; and configuring the control module to perform: comparing inhalation data of the initial breath data with a valid inhalation standard to obtain valid inhalation data and filter noise; statistically analyzing the valid inhalation data to generate a predicted value of inhalation time; calculating an atomization time according to the predicted value of the inhalation time; and generating a driving signal to drive the atomization module to perform atomization according to the atomization time.

  • Patent number: 9280925
    Abstract: A method for power-on sequence and a device with a low current power source are provided in the present invention. The method is used for enabling a device including a low current power source, a first circuit module and a second circuit module, wherein the low current power source is used for providing a power voltage. The method includes: switching a low voltage reset signal from a first logic voltage to a second logic voltage when the power voltage rise to a threshold voltage; enabling the first circuit module after a first preset time from the time when the low voltage reset signal switches from the first logic voltage to the second logic voltage; and enabling the second circuit module after a second preset time from the time when the first circuit module is enabled.

  • Patent number: 9166569
    Abstract: A relaxation oscillator is provided in the present invention. The relaxation oscillator includes a R-S latch, a first delay circuit and a second delay circuit. The input terminal of the first delay circuit is coupled to the Q output terminal of the R-S latch, and the output terminal of the first delay circuit is coupled to the reset terminal of the R-S latch. The input terminal of the second delay circuit is coupled to the inversion Q output terminal of the R-S latch, and the output terminal of the second delay circuit is coupled to the set terminal of the R-S latch. When the input terminal of the first delay circuit inputs a first logic voltage, after a delay time, the output terminal of the first delay circuit outputs a second logic pulse. When the input terminal of the second delay circuit inputs the first logic voltage, after the delay time, the output terminal of the second delay circuit outputs the second logic pulse.

  • Patent number: 7957923
    Abstract: The device for jitter measurement and a method thereof are provided. The device for jitter measure includes a signal retrieving module, a signal amplifying module, an edge detecting module, and a time-to-digital converting module. The signal retrieving module receives a signal-under-test, and retrieves a first pulse signal having a pulse width equal to a period of the signal-under-test. The signal amplifying module amplifies the pulse width of the first pulse signal and thereby generates a second pulse signal. The edge detecting module detects a rising edge and a falling edge of the second pulse signal, and generates a first indication signal and a second indication signal according to the respective detected results. The time-to-digital converting module converts the pulse width of the second pulse signal existed in time domain to a digital signal according to the first indication signal and the second indication signal.
