  • Patent number: 10321233
    Abstract: A method and a portable electronic apparatus for adaptively adjusting a playback effect of speakers are provided. The portable electronic apparatus includes a speaker enclosure volume adjusting device and a processor coupled to the speakers and the speaker enclosure volume adjusting device. In the method, the processor detects a usage demand for the portable electronic apparatus and accordingly determines an audio mode. Based on the determined audio mode, the processor selects and activates multiple speakers, and adjusts an enclosure volume of at least one of the activated speakers, so as to change an audio frequency range of the at least one speaker and an overall audio frequency range covered by the activated speakers. Finally, the processor plays an audio through the activated speakers.

  • Patent number: 8960021
    Abstract: A non-contact type torque and angle of rotation sensing device consisting of a magnetic member, sensing members and a computing unit for measuring a torque being applied to rotate a transmission member and the angle of rotation of said transmission member in a first axial direction is disclosed. The magnetic member defines a first center, and is mounted on and rotatable with the transmission member. The magnetic member deflects relative to the transmission member in a nonparallel manner relative to the first axial direction when rotating with the transmission member. Sensing members induce a magnetic field variation to output respective electrical signals that exhibit a phase difference there between. The computing unit receives and calculates the electrical signals of the sensing member to obtain the amplitude and to further translate the amplitude into torque value and angle of rotation.
