  • Patent number: 11651912
    Abstract: A control device includes a display panel and a key structure. The key structure is located over the display panel. The key structure includes a circuit board, a keycap, an elastic element and a conducting element. The circuit board includes a circuit structure. The circuit structure includes a first circuit pattern and a second circuit pattern. The first circuit pattern and the second circuit pattern are separated from each other by a gap. The conducting element is disposed on a support part of the elastic element. When the keycap is pressed down, the keycap is moved downwardly to push the support part. After the support part is moved downwardly for a specified travel distance, the conducting element is contacted with the first circuit pattern and the second circuit pattern. Consequently, the first circuit pattern and the second circuit pattern are electrically connected with each other.

  • Patent number: 11561630
    Abstract: A menu control device includes a casing and a roller module. The roller module is installed in the casing. The roller module includes a base, an elastic supporting arm, a scroll wheel, an encoder, a switch element and a microprocessor. The elastic supporting arm is connected with the base. The scroll wheel is pivotally coupled to the elastic supporting arm. The encoder is located beside the scroll wheel. The encoder generates an encoding signal in response to the rotation of the scroll wheel. When an external pressing force is applied to the scroll wheel, the elastic supporting arm is swung toward the switch element, and the switch element is triggered to generate a switching signal. The microprocessor performs an item browsing operation on a menu according to the encoding signal. The microprocessor performs an item selecting operation on the menu according to the switching signal.

  • Patent number: 9693161
    Abstract: A close-type speaker leak test system includes a first chamber, a second chamber, a third chamber, a fourth chamber, a vacuum generator, and a differential pressure gauge. Firstly, a negative pressure value of the first chamber and the second chamber is generated by the vacuum generator. A standard close-type speaker is placed within the third chamber, and the first chamber and the third chamber are in communication with each other. An under-test close-type speaker is placed within a fourth chamber, and the second chamber and the fourth chamber are in communication with each other. A pressure difference value between the third chamber and the fourth chamber is measured by the differential pressure gauge. If the pressure difference value is larger than a predetermined value, the under-test close-type speaker has the leak. Consequently, the misjudgment is reduced, and the testing efficiency is enhanced.

  • Patent number: 9632002
    Abstract: A leak test system and a leak test method are provided for testing whether a semi-finished product of a speaker has a leak. The semi-finished product of the speaker includes a case. An interface is installed on a surface of the case. The leak test system includes a covering element, a vacuum generator, and a pressure gauge. The covering element is attached on the surface of the case, so that the interface of the semi-finished product of the speaker is covered by the covering element. A negative pressure value of the covering element is generated by the vacuum generator. If the equilibrium pressure value is lower than a default negative pressure value, the leak test system judges that the semi-finished product of the speaker has the leak. Consequently, the testing efficiency is enhanced.

  • Patent number: 9578408
    Abstract: A headphone device includes a sound outputting part and a sensor. The sound outputting part includes a case, a main board, a driving unit, a baffle plate and an ear pad. The sensor is installed on the baffle plate, uncovered by the ear pad and connected with the main board. If the human ear is sensed by the sensor, the main board judges that the headphone device is worn by the user. If the human ear is not sensed by the sensor, the main board judges that the headphone device is not worn by the user. According to the result of judging whether the headphone device is worn by the user, the playback of the audio content of an electronic device connected with the headphone device is correspondingly controlled.

  • Patent number: 9332365
    Abstract: A stereo device testing method includes the following steps. Firstly, a stereo device is fixed, and a gas is continuously inputted into an inner space of the stereo device. After a predetermined time period, an internal pressure value of the inner space of the stereo device is detected. By judging whether the internal pressure value is higher than or equal to a default pressure value, the tester may determine whether the stereo device is qualified or not. After the stereo device is tested, the manufacturer of the stereo device may repair the gas leakage position. Since the influence of the gas leakage condition on the resonant effect is minimized, the sound quality of the stereo device is enhanced.

  • Patent number: 8828165
    Abstract: A spacing interval control method is used in a sheet laminating apparatus for controlling a constant spacing interval between any two adjacent ones of multiple documents. The sheet laminating apparatus includes an automatic document feeding mechanism and a sheet laminating mechanism. By means of multiple sensors within the automatic document feeding mechanism, multiple documents are successively transported from the automatic document feeding mechanism to the sheet laminating mechanism at a constant spacing interval between any two adjacent ones of multiple documents. As a consequence, the documents after being heated or pressed by the sheet laminating mechanism will be cut into multiple separate and identical-sized laminated documents.
