  • Publication number: 20130111304
    Abstract: In a cyclic code decoding method, a decoder analyzes a received codeword to identify unreliable symbols in the codeword, and sets candidate syndrome patterns accordingly. Then, a syndrome calculator calculates evaluated syndrome values associated with one of the candidate syndrome patterns, and an error location polynomial (ELP) generator generates an ELP according to the syndrome values. An error correction device corrects the errors in the codeword according to the ELP when a degree of the ELP is not more than a threshold value, and the syndrome calculator adjusts the syndrome values and the ELP generator generates another ELP according to the adjusted syndrome values when otherwise.

  • Publication number: 20110194320
    Abstract: A power device includes a power supply module, a first electrical isolation unit, a second electrical isolation unit, a feedback control unit, and a comparing unit. The power supply module includes a feedback compensating terminal and an output terminal, the feedback compensating terminal provides a related voltage of output power, and the output terminal provides an output voltage. When the related voltage of output power is smaller than the predetermined voltage, the comparing unit controls the first electrical isolation unit to change operation of the feedback control unit and the second electrical isolation unit, to allow the power supply module to adjust the output voltage.

  • Publication number: 20110018447
    Abstract: The present invention discloses an ultrasonic apparatus with an adjustable horn. The ultrasonic apparatus comprises a transmission device, a horn and an ultrasonic transceiver device. The horn and the transmission device are geared by a helical gear. The ultrasonic transceiver device is connected to the end of the helical gear. When the transmission device moves the horn to a first position, the ultrasonic transceiver device is applied for on/off control; while the transmission device moves the horn to a second position, the ultrasonic sensor is applied for digital control.

  • Publication number: 20070230188
    Abstract: A light-emitting diode (LED) light includes a ceramic shade, an illuminative unit and at least one wire. The ceramic shade includes a primary chamber defined therein and at least one through hole in communication with the primary chamber. The illuminative unit is disposed in the primary chamber and includes an LED die and a path. The path transfers heat generated by the LED die to the ceramic shade. The wire is connected to the illuminative unit and inserted through the through hole.

  • Patent number: 6961250
    Abstract: A non-isolated power supply device and a method for controlling the same, wherein only one DC voltage bus is adopted and the neutral lines of the input voltage and output voltage are directly connected together. During the periods that the voltage polarities of the input voltage and output voltage are not the same, the power supply device is operated in a flyback mode to avoid the generation of an abnormal current. Otherwise, during the periods that the voltage polarities of the input voltage and output voltage are the same, the power supply device is operated in a boost mode to derive a superior efficiency.

  • Publication number: 20040227606
    Abstract: A configuration of stacked cores and the heat dissipation for the stacked cores utilize a plurality of spacers provided between adjacent cores, whereby a gap is accordingly formed by the spacers to expedite the heat dissipation. Since a gap is defined between the adjacent cores, the heat dissipation surfaces for adjacent cores are increased and the generated heat is quickly removed from the stacked cores in a short time.

  • Publication number: 20030201871
    Abstract: This invention is a process for producing metal strip resistors, i.e., forming the two electrodes at the two ends of an metal strip with thick electroplating and laying a layer of coating on the surface of the metal strip for heat radiation (a metal cooling plate may be pasted onto the coating when necessary). The producing procedures include rolling, punching, electroplating, cutting, grooving, coating, fixing the cooling plate, and drying. The finished product is the metal strip resistor described in this invention. The said electrode production method can maximize the contact surface between the electrodes and the base strip to pass more current and decrease the resistance valve (usually to 0.0001 ohm). The heat ventilating plate on the base strip can facilitate heat emission to stabilize the resistance valve and enhance its capacity.
