  • Publication number: 20150129402
    Abstract: The invention is relative to a junction box auxiliary securing structure comprises an auxiliary securing plate mounted in the junction box, and a switch base mounted securely on the auxiliary securing plate. The auxiliary securing plate, from outside to inside, oppositely defines long slots, short slots, and a central hole formed at a center thereof. The four corners of the central hole have securing tongues slantly extending therefrom and toward a center of the auxiliary securing plate. Two sides of the switch base have outer fixing holes and inner fixing holes, respectively. The outer fixing holes are corresponding to the long slots of the auxiliary securing plate, the inner fixing holes are corresponding to the short slots of the auxiliary securing plate. With such, the drawback of being incapable of mounting the switch base due to rustiness of the junction box is therefore avoided.

  • Publication number: 20150002112
    Abstract: A multiphase regulator includes a plurality of output phases, each operable to deliver a phase current through a separate inductor to a load connected to the output phases via the inductors and an output capacitor. The multiphase regulator further includes a controller operable to regulate a voltage delivered to the load by adjusting the phase currents delivered to the load by the output phases, and monitor the phase currents delivered to the load by the output phases. The controller is further operable to determine if the monitored phase currents indicate any of the individual output phases, any of the individual inductors or the output capacitor are faulty, even if the total current delivered to the load is within specified limits.

  • Patent number: 8776655
    Abstract: A worktable for a circular saw includes a rotatable table defining a cutting groove, two movable fences arranged on the rotatable table at two opposed sides relative to the cutting groove, and a connection member connected between the two movable fences. The connection member has an arc-shaped locating groove and is adapted for engagement with a guide member of the rotatable table so that when the rotatable table is rotated, the guide member engages and applies a force to the wall of the arc-shaped locating groove, causing the two movable fences to be moved relative to the cutting groove, and therefore the two movable fences are maintained spaced away from the cutting groove at a distance without interfering with the operation of the saw blade.
