20100118500 | HANDHELD ELECTRONIC DEVICE - A handheld electronic device including an electronic device body and a ring is disclosed. The ring is connected with the electronic device body, and it has a plurality of extending portions extending toward the center of the ring. | 05-13-2010 |
20110038358 | Apparatus And Method For Neighbor-Aware Concurrent Transmission Media Access Control Protocol - An apparatus and method for neighbor-aware concurrent transmission media access control (MAC) protocol is provided, which determines whether a plurality of communication connections may be established concurrently in a wireless network, where each node in the network obtains the topology information of its multi-hop neighbors via a neighbor discover module. A cross-layer observation module integrates the physical and virtual carrier sensing, observes the address field of a control frame of a MAC layer in the wireless network, and compares the address field information of the control frame against the topology information obtained by the neighbor discover module to determine whether a plurality of connections may be established for concurrent transmission. | 02-17-2011 |
20140126063 | Laminated Optical Disk - A laminated optical disk, applied for lighting system or solar energy system, includes a plurality of annular lenses, a base and a circular light guiding unit. The annular lenses are arranged in order from center to outside to form a disk-structure. Each annular lens has a light-input curved surface and a light-output curved surface respectively matching the different thickness of the base. The light-input curved surface is opposite to the center. The light-output curved surface is opposite to the light-input curved surface, and facing to the center. The light is incident on the light-input curved surface, refracted and tended to concentrate by the light-input curved surface. Besides, the light exiting from the annular lens is to be refracted to the is direction of the center by the light-output curved surface. The base of the laminated optical disk can significantly improve the light leakage problem by different annular lenses. | 05-08-2014 |
20150253830 | Method for Adapter Over-Current-Protection (OCP) Protection and User Warning - A system, method, and computer-readable medium are disclosed for detecting when a lower power adapter is coupled with an information handling system having higher power requirements. More specifically, in certain embodiments, a circuit (such as an embedded controller (EC)) detects an adapter wattage when an adapter plug-in is detected. If a lower wattage power adapter is detected (e.g., a 45 W power adapter), the embedded controller activates a signal (e.g., an AC_DISABLE signal) to stop powering the information handling system from the adapter. In certain embodiments, the information handling system is powered from a battery associated with the information handling system when the power adapter power capacity does not satisfy the power requirements of the information handling system. In certain embodiments, the circuit substantially simultaneously generates a low power warning. In certain embodiments, the adapter wattage may be detected via an adapter identifier (e.g., power supply identifier (PSID) signal) which is provided via a bus such as a single line bus. | 09-10-2015 |

20140295234 | BATTERY MODULE WITH FIXING AND BURGLARPROOF FUNCTIONS - A battery module for an electric vehicle includes an external case, a battery box, a fixing mechanism, and a rotatable pull tab. The external case is fixed in the electric vehicle, and includes an accommodation space and a first fixing part. The battery box is detachably installed in the accommodation space. The fixing mechanism is disposed on the battery box. When the battery box is installed in the accommodation space, the fixing mechanism engages or disengages the first fixing part to selectively lock or unlock the battery box. When the battery box is locked, the battery box is securely fixed in the accommodation space. When the battery box is unlocked, the battery box is removable from the accommodation space. The rotatable pull tab is detachably inserted into the fixing mechanism. By rotating the rotatable pull tab the battery box is selectively locked or unlocked. | 10-02-2014 |
20140324262 | ABNORMAL BATTERY DETECTING SYSTEM AND ABNORMAL BATTERY DETECTING METHOD FOR BATTERY MODULE - An abnormal battery detecting system for an electric vehicle includes a power supply unit, a displaying unit, a battery module, a safety protection unit, a detecting unit, and a controlling unit. The battery module a main power source of the electric vehicle. The safety protection unit is connected with the battery module and the power supply unit. The detecting unit is connected with the battery module and the power supply unit for detecting the battery module. If the battery module is abnormal, the detecting unit generates at least one feedback signal that is received by the controlling unit. The controlling unit compares the feedback signal with at least one preset default value and generates an abnormal level signal to the displaying unit and the safety protection unit. The safety protection unit is selectively enabled to control an operation of the battery module according to the abnormal level signal. | 10-30-2014 |
