  • Publication number: 20230358078
    Abstract: The disclosure provides a retractable childproof lock. The lock includes a lock body and a lock tongue arranged in a mode of retractable movements, so as to achieve objectives of locking or unlocking through retractable movements of the lock tongue. When being locked, the lock tongue is extended relative to the lock body, so that a locking end approaches relative to a first surface of the lock body in a first direction, but moves away from relative to a second surface of the lock body in a second direction, in such a way, an outward-opening moving part of a household product is locked due to blocking of the front end of the extending lock tongue.

  • Publication number: 20230352497
    Abstract: A display may have one or more bent portions. To increase the magnitude of curvature in a display and/or to allow for compound curvature in the display, a display panel may be partially formed in a planar state. The partial display panel is then bent to have desired curvature. After the partial display panel is bent, additional display components that are susceptible to damage during the bending process may be added to complete the display panel. A flexible printed circuit may be formed directly on the display panel using precise deposition of conductive material. By forming the flexible printed circuit layer-by-layer directly on the display panel, no substantive pressure needs to be applied to the display panel. Electrical connections may therefore be made to the display panel in regions of the display with high levels of curvature and/or with compound curvature without causing front-of-screen artifacts for the display panel.

  • Publication number: 20230321430
    Abstract: The present invention relates to the field of wearable neurotherapy devices, and particularly relates to a wrist-worn nerve stimulator. The nerve stimulator is suitable for the wrist and other parts of limbs. For the nerve stimulator, a conducting medium attached to a strap not only ensures no tingling sensation during electrical stimulation therapy, but also alleviates the problem of discomfort without prejudice to the therapeutic effect, thereby reducing the difficulty of assembling the nerve stimulator and improving wearing adaptability; in addition, it can be seen from the use of a first strap and an electrical stimulation part that the wrist-worn nerve stimulator has a split structure and is composed of the first strap and the electrical stimulation part, such that the difficulty of disassembling basic frameworks for electrical stimulation therapy is significantly reduced, and it can be understood that the consumable first strap is easier to be replaced.

  • Patent number: 11750127
    Abstract: The invention discloses a control method for balancing scaling errors of multiple current sensors for PMSM. An impedance network is set between a direct current power supply and a three-phase inverter connected to a PMSM to avoid positive and negative poles of the direct current power supply being short-circuited under actions of shoot-through vectors. Under actions of two shoot-through vectors in a PWM cycle, three-phase current sensors are used to respectively sample the sum of currents in each branch of three-phase output branches of the three-phase inverter and a branch of the same bridge arm of the three-phase inverter, according to the sampled currents, operating to obtain the relationship between the scaling error coefficients of the three-phase current sensors. Then, correction coefficients are calculated. The correction of the scaling errors of the current sensors is implemented using correction coefficient feedback control.
