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.

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.

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.
