  • Publication number: 20110254456
    Abstract: A current balancing circuit includes a plurality of LED strings each formed by a series-connection of a plurality of LEDs, a current mirror module including the same number of tri-electrodes elements as that of the LED strings, and a constant-current source providing a constant current for the LED strings. Two electrodes of one of the tri-electrodes elements are short-connected with each other, and the tri-electrodes elements are further connected with one another through one short-connected electrode thereof so as to achieve a mirror effect. The tri-electrodes elements are further one-on-one series-connected with the corresponding LED strings respectively so as to make the LED strings equally distribute the constant current from the constant-current source on the basis of the mirror effect of the current mirror module.

  • Publication number: 20110073790
    Abstract: An electromagnetic valve includes an electromagnetic coil module which includes a coiling body defining a receiving passage therein having two opposite end mouths, and a coil coiled around the coiling body. The electromagnetic coil module produces a magnetic field when a current flows through the coil. A slide body is moveably disposed in the receiving passage of the coiling body. Two magnetic conductors are mounted to the corresponding end mouths of the receiving passage of the coiling body respectively. A permanent magnet is embedded in the slide body with two opposite magnetic ends thereof fronting the corresponding magnetic conductors respectively. The permanent magnet under the combined actions of the magnetic attraction of the magnetic conductors and the magnetic field produced by the electromagnetic coil module drives the slide body to relatively move between the magnetic conductors.

  • Publication number: 20110050180
    Abstract: A charging control circuit includes connecting terminals series-connected with one another and each adapted for connecting one battery, a current control circuit or both a current-restraining unit and a switch unit connected with each connecting terminal, a charging unit for charging the batteries, and a control unit for detecting the voltage of each connecting terminal to judge whether the connecting terminal disconnects with the battery or not and whether the battery is fully charged or not, then control the current control circuit or a switch state of the corresponding switch unit to adjust the flow direction of a charge current from the charging unit. When all of the batteries are detected to be fully charged, the control unit controls the current control circuits or switch units to be connected to divide the charge current, or controls the charging unit to directly provide a trickle current.
