  • Publication number: 20150374928
    Abstract: A safety syringe has a barrel, a pushing element, a retracting element, and a needle group. The barrel is hollow and has a needle-group mounting end, an operating grip end, and a barrel lumen. The pushing element is retractably mounted in the barrel lumen and has a pushrod chamber. The retracting element is airtightly and slidably mounted in the pushrod chamber. The needle group is connected to the needle-group mounting end of the barrel. The present invention can pull the retracting element to move relative to the pushing element to form a low pressure condition in the pushrod chamber as a vacuum status. After the injection, a vacuum attraction force in the pushrod chamber can retract the used needle group into the pushrod chamber for safe use of the safety syringe.

    Abstract: An electronic device with a power management mechanism and a power management method thereof are disclosed. The electronic device includes a multi-core processor and a temperature sensor. The multi-core processor has a plurality of processor cores. The temperature sensor is coupled to the multi-core processor. The temperature sensor detects the temperature of the multi-core processor and determines whether the electronic device enters an underclocking mode from a performance priority mode according to the detected temperature. When the temperature of the multi-core processor is greater than a first temperature threshold, the multi-core processor controls the electronic device to enter a first underclocking mode and dynamically adjusts an enabled core number. When the temperature of the multi-core processor is greater than a second temperature threshold, the multi-core processor controls the electronic device to enter a second underclocking mode.
