  • Patent number: 10396577
    Abstract: The instant disclosure provides an electronic apparatus with environmental sensing function including an electronic device and a power cable. The power cable includes a plug and a cable connected between the electronic device and the plug. The plug has a sensor module and at least two power pins. The cable has at least an AC power cable and at least a DC transmission cable. The AC power cable is electrically connected to the two power pins, and the DC transmission cable is connected to the sensor module. The power cable is configured to transmit AC electrical power to the electronic device through the AC power cable. The electronic device executes a control command according to a sensing signal detected by the sensor module.

  • Patent number: 9787124
    Abstract: A charging device includes a plurality of DC charging ports, a detecting circuit and a current output unit. The DC charging ports includes at least one first charging port and at least one second charging port. The output currents provided by the first charging port and the second charging port are lower than or equal to a first current limit and a second current limit, respectively. The detecting circuit is coupled to the DC charging ports to detect the output currents from the DC charging ports. When the current required by the first charging port is lower than the first current limit, the current output unit correspondingly supplies a requested current to the first charging port and distributes a surplus current to the second charging port. A total current limit of the DC charging ports is higher than a supply current limit.

  • Patent number: 7808364
    Abstract: A protection cover used for avoiding the influence brought about by the temperature effect of a varistor is proposed. The protection cover is made of ceramic or refractory material, and is used to bear high temperature generated when a metal oxide varistor breaks down to catch fire and to further cover the fire therein, thereby preventing the fire from burning out application components around the metal oxide varistor. Moreover, accommodation portions and grooves for receiving temperature breakers are disposed on the protection cover to provide a better contact surface between the protection cover and the temperature breakers so that the temperature breakers can more accurately detect the temperature on the protection cover, hence reducing the occurrence of the situation of erroneous actions.

  • Publication number: 20070054659
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a multimode communication device having an automatic call-back setting mechanism that includes a first wireless communication module for transmitting a first radio frequency signal and having a decision process; a second wireless communication module coupled to the first wireless communication module for transmitting a second radio frequency signal. If the first wireless communication module receives an incoming call signal of a communication system, the determination process will determine whether or not to terminate the incoming call signal and the second wireless communication module makes a call back to the communication system. The invention also discloses a method for automatically setting the call-back mechanism and a method for setting a man-machine interface for automatically setting a call-back mechanism.
