  • Patent number: 9121410
    Abstract: An oscillating fan with built-in pull-type control switch includes a housing defining a receiving space having a front open end; a driving motor mounted to the front open end of the receiving space and having a first rotary shaft; a blade assembly mounted to the first rotary shaft; at least one pull switch having a selector mounted in the housing and an actuator extended through and located outside the housing; and a control box provided in the receiving space to electrically connect to the driving motor and every pull switch. The actuator includes a pull string having an end connected to the selector and another end hung from the housing by a predetermined length, allowing a user to control the oscillation of the fan via the pull string. Since most fan components are integrated in the housing, the fan occupies only reduced space and is more practical for use.

  • Publication number: 20150148093
    Abstract: Features are disclosed relating to a case for a mobile device that provides supplemental battery power and supplemental storage space to the mobile device. Additional features are disclosed relating to an external storage device that can provide supplemental battery power and/or supplemental storage space for one or more devices. Further features are disclosed relating sharing and searching for files. Files may be shared across multiple (e.g., two or more) devices, operated by or associated with multiple users, providing multiple file storage locations. Files may be searched across the multiple devices using, e.g., search terms, tags, and/or other search options. Searching may also be performed with respect to activities performed in connection with subject files.

  • Publication number: 20140306636
    Abstract: A fan control system includes a fan and a portable mobile device. The fan includes a housing member; a driving motor mounted in the housing member and having a rotary shaft; a fan blade assembly assembled to the rotary shaft of the driving motor; and a command receiving control unit mounted in the housing member and electrically connected to the driving motor. The portable mobile device includes a touch panel forming an operation control interface, and internally has a transmission unit and a processor electrically connected to the touch panel and the transmission unit. When the operation control interface is touched, the processor receives an operation control signal and correspondingly generates a control command that is wirelessly transmitted to the command receiving control unit in the fan via the transmission unit, so that the fan is directly controllable via the portable mobile device and has largely increased practicality and usability.

  • Publication number: 20140227085
    Abstract: A fan control system includes an oscillating fan and a portable mobile device. The oscillating fan includes a housing member having a first driving motor arranged therein, and an oscillating mechanism mounted between the first driving motor and the housing member to electrically connect to the first driving motor and a receiving control unit. The portable mobile device has a touch panel forming an operation control interface, and is internally provided with a processor electrically connected to the touch panel and a transmission unit. The operation control interface produces an operation control signal when being touched, and the processor receives the operation control signal and correspondingly generates a control command to the transmission unit, from where the control command is wirelessly transmitted to the receiving control unit in the oscillating fan. The oscillating fan directly controllable via the portable mobile device has largely increased practicality and usability.

  • Patent number: 8533546
    Abstract: The present disclosure provides systems and methods for testing an integrated circuit or device under test (DUT). A DUT of the present invention has a plurality of scan chains, a plurality of shift register elements each associated with a respective one of the scan chains, and a programmable switch matrix to configure shift register elements of a subset of the plurality of shift register elements to cause one shift register element of the subset to receive an interleaved test sequence, and to cause the interleaved test sequence to be shifted to other shift register elements in the subset, and to input deinterleaved test sequences to scan chains associated with the subset.

  • Patent number: 8251645
    Abstract: A fan with concealed oscillating mechanism includes a main housing, a first driving motor, a second driving motor and a curved link gear all located inside the main housing, and a set of blades located outside the main housing and connected to a rotating shaft of the first driving motor. The first driving motor has a connecting rod rotatably received in a receiving tube provided in the main housing. The second driving motor is located behind and connected to the first driving motor, and has a rotating shaft being perpendicular to that of the first driving motor. The curved link gear is connected at an end to the second rotating shaft and at another end to the main housing, such that when the second driving motor operates, the first driving motor is brought to oscillate while the set of blades stably rotates to thereby change the direction of produced airflow.

  • Patent number: 8128346
    Abstract: A fan with concealed 360-degree oscillating mechanism includes a main housing; a pivot member vertically, pivotally and turnably mounted in the housing; a first driving motor having a forward first rotary shaft and horizontally, pivotally and turnably mounted in the pivot member; an oscillating mechanism assembled between the first driving motor and a rear end face of the main housing, and having a first end driving an opposing second end to rotate eccentrically; and a set of blades fixedly connected to the first rotary shaft to locate in front of the main housing. With the first driving motor pivotally connected to the pivot member and eccentrically connected to the oscillating mechanism, the set of blades can be oscillated 360 degrees while being rotated by the first driving motor; and parts inside the main housing undertake force evenly to enable stable operation of the fan and reduced stress fatigue of the oscillating mechanism.
