  • Patent number: 10992143
    Abstract: A power bank has a station and a plurality of battery modules. When the battery modules are stacked on the station, rechargeable batteries of the battery modules are electrically connected in parallel. When a charging port of the station is electrically connected to an external power supply, a charging-discharging control circuit of the station receives electric energy from the external power supply via the charging port and uses the received electric energy to charge the rechargeable batteries. When a discharging port of the station is electrically connected to an external electronic device, the charging-discharging control circuit transfers electric energy received from the rechargeable batteries to the external electronic device. Each of the battery modules is replaceable, and the total number of the battery modules of the power bank is adjustable.

  • Patent number: 10797495
    Abstract: A power bank has a station and a plurality of battery modules. Each of the battery modules can be positioned in a corresponding slot of the station in a pluggable way and is electrically connected to a charging-discharging control circuit of the station. When a main charging port of the station is electrically connected to a power supply, the charging-discharging control circuit receives electric power from the power supply via the main charging port and uses the received electric power to charge rechargeable batteries of the battery modules. When a main discharging port of the station is electrically connected to an electronic apparatus, the charging-discharging control circuit receives electric power from the rechargeable batteries of the battery modules so as to provide electric power to the electronic apparatus.

  • Patent number: 8262308
    Abstract: A coupling structure for coupling first and second halves into a casing, includes a first coupling element projecting outward from an inner surface of the first casing half and formed with a detachment hole and a second coupling element projecting outward from an inner surface of the second casing half and for engaging with the first coupling element. Insertion of a detachment tool via an opening in the casing and the detachment hole to abut against the second coupling element results in inward bending of the second coupling element with respect to the first coupling element, thereby disengaging the second coupling element from the first coupling element, hence the first casing half disengages from the second casing half.

  • Patent number: 8169297
    Abstract: An electronic assembly includes a terminal unit, a signal connector and a memory device. The terminal unit includes a plurality of terminals consisting of a set of coupler terminals and a set of control terminals. The signal connector is utilized for electrically connecting to the coupler terminals, wherein electrical connection of the signal connector to the coupler terminals results in a first relation signal. The memory device is utilized for storing a first relation data corresponding to the first relation signal. Once the signal connector is electrically disconnected from the coupler terminals and upon required the signal connector is again electrically connected to the terminal unit results in a second relation signal such that the electronic assembly is prevented from being operated in case the second relation signal fails to conform to the first relation signal.

  • Patent number: 6940472
    Abstract: A universal antenna adapter suitable for engaging with a fixed antenna and a detachable antenna is provided. The universal antenna adapter comprises a circular opening, a latching hook structure and a fixed spring plate. The latching hook structure is set around the circular opening for interfering with a latching spring plate on the fixed antenna. The fixed spring plate is set on an interior surface of the universal antenna adapter. The fixed spring plate engages with an antenna connector of the detachable antenna so that the antenna connector is prevented from moving forward and backward. The latching hook structure comprises a pair of symmetrical split sections for gripping and latching the antenna connector so that the antenna connector is prevented from rotation and up/down movement.
