  • Publication number: 20240170954
    Abstract: A motor control method for coupled an electronic vehicle is provided. The motor controller controls a motor and is powered by a battery. The motor control method includes: when a main relay of the motor controller suddenly breaks contact, in a first phase, feeding back a surge current into the battery to suppress the surge current by a diode and a first current limit resistor of a first protecting circuit of the motor controller; and, in a second phase, conducting a discharge switch of a second protecting circuit of the motor controller by a control unit of the motor controller, and releasing the surge current to a reference voltage range by the discharge switch and a second current limit resistor of the second protecting circuit.

  • Patent number: 11929045
    Abstract: A display may have an array of pixels such as liquid crystal display pixels. The display may include short pixel rows that span only partially across the display and full-width pixel rows that span the width of the display. The gate lines coupled to the short pixel rows may extend into the inactive area of the display. Supplemental gate line loading structures may be located in the inactive area of the display to increase loading on the gate lines that are coupled to short pixel rows. The supplemental gate line loading structures may include data lines and doped polysilicon that overlap the gate lines in the inactive area. In displays that combine display and touch functionality into a thin-film transistor layer, supplemental loading structures may be used in the inactive area to increase loading on common voltage lines that are coupled to short rows of common voltage pads.

  • Patent number: 8922964
    Abstract: A motor controller with a reverse-bias preventing mechanism includes a pre-charging unit, a protection unit, a conversion unit and a control unit. The pre-charging unit receives a power signal through a first electric-conduction path, and converts the power signal into a pre-charging signal according to a control signal. The protection unit receives the power signal through a second electric-conduction path, and determines whether to output the power signal, according to the polarity of the power signal. The conversion unit, coupled to the protection unit, receives the power signal outputted by the protection unit, and converts the power signal into a work voltage. The control unit, coupled to the conversion unit and the pre-charging unit, receives the work voltage to generate the control signal. The current of the power signal flowing through second electric-conduction path is smaller than the current flowing through first electric-conduction path.

  • Publication number: 20050253838
    Abstract: A key-frame processor for computer system is provided to couple with the streaming server of the computer system to transmit a series of continuous computer image frames to a plurality of user sites. The key-frame processor for computer system comprises a key-frame reconstruction module and a key-frame selective streaming module. The key-frame reconstruction module is coupled with an instructor computer system to obtain image data transmitted by the instructor computer system to the streaming server, which image data represent image being displayed at the instructor computer. The key-frame reconstruction module reconstructs the obtained image data into displaying data representing the whole image as displayed, maintains data of the whole image being currently displayed at the instructor computer from time to time and stores the whole image data at the streaming server regularly.

  • Patent number: 6864901
    Abstract: A real-time screen recording system is disclosed. Under the design of the real-time screen recording system of this invention, the Event Inspector records updated regions of the screen when a windows update event is generated, the Periodical Extractor records the screen updates periodically. This mechanism ensures that all updates will be recorded. The Event Filter inspects the update events to identify events relating to updates of screen to ensure correct recording of the updated regions. The Sporadic Controller adjusts the working frequency of the Periodical Extractor, so that the Periodical Extractor operates in an efficient manner. The Update Region Filter filters out unnecessary updated regions to avoid heavy workload of the computer system. As a result, an efficient and correct screen recording system may be achieved.
