  • Publication number: 20250096705
    Abstract: A multiphase motor driving circuit includes: a power stage circuit; and a control circuit. In a motor braking mode, when a holding voltage is less than the first voltage threshold, a first sub-mode is entered, in which the control circuit controls at least a portion of switches in the power stage circuit with a pulse width modulation (PWM) signal to switch periodically, thereby converting a back electromotive force (EMF) of a multiphase motor into the holding voltage to supply power to the control circuit. In the motor braking mode, when the holding voltage is greater than the second voltage threshold, a second sub-mode is entered, in which the control circuit controls at least a portion of switches in the power stage circuit with the PWM signal to keep them continuously conductive, thereby consuming the back EMF of the multiphase motor to reduce a speed of the multiphase motor.

  • Publication number: 20250084282
    Abstract: An apparatus is designed to secure a component (e.g., battery) to a housing of an electronic device and to remove the power supply from the electronic device with minimal or no breaking. The apparatus may include an adhesive layer and a reinforcement layer (e.g., wire) that extends throughout the adhesive layer. When a force is applied to the adhesive layer, the reinforcement layer allows the adhesive layer to stretch and lengthen without breaking. The apparatus may further include an extension where the applied force can be initiated, and the reinforcement layer may extend into the extension. The reinforcement layer may also be used to sever the adhesive layer. For example, an applied force to the reinforcement layer can cut the adhesive layer. Alternatively, thermal energy may be applied to the reinforcement layer, causing the reinforcement layer to change shape and separate the adhesive layer.
