  • Patent number: 9306447
    Abstract: When a power conversion unit is in a working mode, the power conversion unit converts an alternating current power from an alternating current power supply apparatus into a direct current power. Then, the power conversion unit sends a power starting signal to a first switch control unit. After the first switch control unit receives the power starting signal, the first switch control unit turns on a first switch unit, so that an overall capacitor impedance formed by a first capacitor and a second capacitor is smaller than a first capacitor impedance formed by the first capacitor. When the power conversion unit is not in the working mode, the first switch control unit turns off the first switch unit, so that the overall capacitor impedance is equal to the first capacitor impedance.

    Abstract: A three dimensional weave fabric material is disclosed for use in producing woven hats and other items. The three dimensional weave fabric material comprises two layers of material, a face layer and a back layer. The face layer and the back layer are then woven together via floating threads to create predetermined patterns or areas where the two layers are not woven together. These areas which are not woven together create tubes. Specifically, the weaving is controlled by a computer program that will weave or not weave the two layers together. Once the weaving is complete, the three dimensional weave fabric material may be subject to post processing such as heat. The three dimensional material is then assembled to produce a woven hat.

  • Publication number: 20150318692
    Abstract: An active guard ring structure is provided, which is applicable to improving latch-up immunity during the latch-up current test (I-test). The proposed active guard ring structure comprises an I/O circuit and an active protection circuit, wherein the I/O circuit receives a trigger current via an input pad and generates a corresponding bulk current since being triggered. The active protection circuit, connected between the I/O circuit and a core circuit, detects whether the trigger current is a positive or negative current pulse. When an intensity of the trigger current is larger than a threshold value, the active protection circuit controls the I/O circuit to provide a sink or compensation current so as to neutralize the bulk current and to reduce the net current flowing into or sourced from the core circuit, thereby increasing the latch-up resistance and immunity of the core circuit.
