Abstract: A resonant half-bridge flyback power converter includes: a first transistor and a second transistor which form a half-bridge circuit; a transformer and a resonant capacitor connected in series and coupled to the half-bridge circuit; and a switching control circuit configured to generate a first driving signal and a second driving signal to control the first transistor and the second transistor respectively for switching the transformer to generate an output voltage. The first driving signal is configured to magnetize the transformer. The second driving signal includes at most one pulse between two consecutive pulses of the first driving signal. The switching control circuit generates a skipping cycle period when an output power is lower than a predetermined threshold. A resonant pulse of the second driving signal is skipped during the skipping cycle period. The skipping cycle period is increased in response to the decrease of the output power.

Abstract: A semiconductor package includes a first die, a second die, and a hybrid-type adhesive. The second die is stacked on the first die through the hybrid-type adhesive. The hybrid-type adhesive includes a conductive adhesive and a non-conductive adhesive. The conductive adhesive is disposed between the non-conductive adhesive and the first die. The non-conductive adhesive is disposed between the conductive adhesive and the second die.

Abstract: An automatic assembling system and method for camera lens units are provided. The system includes a main workstation, a barrel-feeding station, a lens-feeding station, and a camera lens-removing station. The method includes (A) operating a plurality of barrel-clamping units of the main workstation cyclically and intermittently along a feeding direction; (B) moving a plurality of barrels from a barrel standby area of the barrel-feeding station onto the barrel-clamping units in sequence; (C) moving a plurality of lens units from a lens standby area assembly of the lens-feeding station into the barrels to form the camera lens units; and (D) moving the camera lens units from the barrel-clamping units into a camera lens-collecting area of the camera lens-removing station. The steps (B, C, D) are performed in cooperation with the intermittent operations of the barrel-clamping units.

Abstract: A device for cutting a sub-finished assembly (1) of plastic lens (10) includes a cutting member (2) and a holding member (3). The cutting member has a base (20), an upper plate (21), an upper cutter (23) mounted on the upper plate, a lower plate (22), a lower cutter (24) mounted on the lower plate, guiding posts (25) mounted on the base and guiding the movement of the upper and the lower plates, and a stopper (26). The upper plate moves toward the lens before the lower plate and until the upper cutter contacts the cutting point beside the lens. The stopper stops the upper plate from further moving after the upper cutter contacts the cutting point beside the lens. The lower cutter is moved by the lower plate to cut the lens from the sub-finished assembly of the lens. The holding member holds the lens during cutting.

Abstract: A tone detector includes at least one circuit (hereinafter “single phase reference matcher”) that not only performs a convolution of an input signal with a reference signal, but also compares the result of convolution with a threshold to determine if there is a match, and if so drives a signal active indicating that tone is present. If there is no match, another circuit (hereinafter “phase shifter”) delays the reference signal by a fraction (e.g. ⅛) of the measuring period, thereby to introduce a phase shift (e.g. &pgr;/8) between the input signal and the reference signal. The “single phase reference matcher” again performs the just-described operation, this time with a delayed reference signal, and repeats the operation as often as necessary (e.g. eight times) to cycle through the entire measuring period, thereby to ensure that tone (if present in the input signal) is detected irrespective of phase, during one of the operations.
