  • Patent number: 8531129
    Abstract: A passive current balance driving apparatus has a circuit topology composed by several simple passive components and is capable of driving a plurality of LED strings simultaneously. The present passive current balance driving apparatus is mainly configured such that each LED string has the identical load characteristics during the positive and negative half cycles of the AC power. As such, the currents flowing through the respective LED strings are basically/substantially equal, thereby achieving the current balance.

  • Patent number: 7714689
    Abstract: A transformer structure includes an iron core set, a main bobbin, and two sub-bobbins. The main bobbin includes a primary winding area for winding a first coil, a main bobbin through hole longitudinally mounted in and penetrating through the main bobbin, and two assembling troughs respectively formed at two ends of the main bobbin through hole. The two sub-bobbins are respectively accommodated in the two assembling troughs and respectively include a secondary winding area for winding a second coil and a sub-bobbin through hole communicated with the main bobbin through hole for penetrating the iron core set. Therefore, the sub-bobbins are mounted in two extended assembling troughs of the main bobbin, the first coil is wound on the primary winding area at the outer side of the main bobbin, and the first coil is separated from the second coils not only by horizontal distance but also by the assembling troughs.

  • Publication number: 20090167473
    Abstract: The present invention discloses a transformer structure, which has a winding reel. The winding reel has an iron-core frame. A first primary winding, a second primary winding and at least one secondary winding are wound on the iron-core frame. The first primary winding is electrically connected to the second primary winding. The secondary winding is arranged in between the first primary winding and the second primary winding. In the present invention, a plurality of the secondary windings may be arranged in between the first primary winding and the second primary winding and surrounded by the first primary winding and the second primary winding so that the transformer can drive a plurality of loads.

  • Publication number: 20070275274
    Abstract: A method of calculating a fuel concentration in a direct methanol fuel cell is disclosed, and comprises the following steps. A direct methanol fuel cell is provided. One or more fuels with different known concentrations are separately provided for the direct methanol fuel cell such that the direct methanol fuel cell performs electrochemical reactions and generates power on the conditions of different known concentrations of fuels. A plurality of physical parameters produced when the direct methanol fuel cell is operated with fuels having known concentrations are respectively measured and recorded, and three of the physical parameters are selected to construct a corresponding three-dimensional measuring space. An interpolation means is generated based on the three-dimensional measuring space.

  • Patent number: 6432071
    Abstract: A Spherical massager composed of two semispherical bodies. Each of the semispherical bodies has a soft facial layer on the surface. The soft facial layer is formed with multiple outward projecting contact sections. The mating faces of the two semispherical bodies are respectively disposed with a power supply section and an oscillation generating section. The power supply section has a recessed female connecting section formed on the connecting face of one of the semispherical bodies. The oscillation generating section including a male connecting section outward projecting from the mating face of the other semispherical body. The male connecting section is formed with a central hole for receiving a vibrating motor. An eccentric wheel is disposed at a front end of a rotary shaft of the vibrating motor to achieve a vibrating effect.
