  • Publication number: 20170083372
    Abstract: A memory device is provided. A processor accesses non-volatile memories via channels and generates a status table according to at least one command of a command queue. The status table records a plurality of tasks. Each task corresponds to one read status and one channel number. The processor selects a plurality of specific tasks from the tasks to serve as a first task set and simultaneously performs all the selected specific tasks with different channel numbers. When the read status of a first specific task matches a first predetermined status, the processor retrieves a logical-to-physical address mapping table relating to the logical address of the first specific task. When the read status of the first specific task matches a second predetermined status, the processor retrieves data relating to the logical address of the first specific task.

  • Publication number: 20170083234
    Abstract: The present invention provides a data storage device including a flash memory, a random access memory, and a controller. The controller selects a first read command where the required mapping table has already been loaded on the random access memory from a plurality of read commands. Before a first read task prepared by the first read command is executed, the controller selects a second read command from the remaining read commands, selectively reads a first data sector of the first read command and the mapping table of the second read command at the same time, or reads the first data sector and a second data sector of the second read command at the same time.

  • Publication number: 20150151810
    Abstract: A front wheel locking mechanism of power scooter includes a sleeve, a steering mechanism, and a positioning mechanism. The sleeve is mounted at the front end of a frame of power scooter, and the steering mechanism includes a shaft sleeved inside the sleeve and formed with an unround-shaped positioning slot. The positioning mechanism is mounted on the sleeve and includes a pin having an enlarged anchoring head contoured with the unround-shaped positioning slot. The enlarged anchoring head can be pressed into the shaft through the unround-shaped positioning slot only in a first angle, and then keeping the enlarged anchoring head continually anchoring inside the shaft by turning the pin driver away from the first angle. By this locking mechanism, the front wheel set can be easily prevented from freely swiveling around, during a user is taking apart, re-assembling, folding or unfolding the frame of power scooter.

  • Patent number: 8658443
    Abstract: A method for manufacturing light emitting device is provided. Firstly, provide a substrate. Then arrange a light emitting unit on the substrate. Next form at least one electrode and arrange at least one protective layer on the electrode. The protective layer is to prevent a phosphor layer following formed on the light emitting unit from covering the electrode. After forming the phosphor layer, flatten the phosphor layer and the protective layer. A part of the phosphor layer over the protective layer is removed. Thus the electrode is not affected by the phosphor layer and conductivity of the electrode is improved to resolve phosphor thickness and uniformity problems of the light emitting device. Therefore, the thickness of the light emitting device with LED is effectively reduced and stability of white color temperature control is significantly improved.

  • Publication number: 20140009989
    Abstract: A switching power converter has a power converter connected between a DC power source and a load and having a power switch, a current detector detecting a load current, and a PWM controller outputting a first frequency to control the switching frequency of the power switch and outputting an adjustable second frequency to adjust the switching frequency of the power switch according to the load current and a condition of judgment. The condition of judgment serves to determine if the load is a heavy or light load. In the case of light load, the second frequency is reduced to lower the switching loss of the power switch. In the case of heavy load, the second frequency is raised to reduce the ripple of the load current. Accordingly, the conversion efficiency of the switching power converter can be enhanced.

  • Publication number: 20130009097
    Abstract: An oxynitride phosphor and a method of manufacturing the same are revealed. The formula of the oxynitride phosphor is Ba3-xSi6O12N2: Yx (0?x?1). Y is praseodymium (Pr) or terbium (Tb) used as a luminescent center. The oxynitride phosphor is synthesized by solid-state reaction. The oxynitride phosphor is excited by vacuum ultraviolet light with a wavelength range of 130 nm to 300 nm or ultraviolet to visible light with a wavelength range of 300 nm to 550 nm to emit light with a wavelength range of 400 nm to 700 nm. Moreover, the full-width at half-maximum of the emission spectrum is smaller than 30 nm. Thus the oxynitride phosphor is suitable for applications of backlights, plasma display panels and ultraviolet excitation. The oxynitride phosphor has higher application value.
