Abstract:
The invention discloses a power saving device capable of automatically sensing standby current, which is used in a power device such as a power outlet or other power supply devices for giving the power device ability of electricity saving. When the power saving device normally works, a threshold current setting unit of a controlling and processing module is configured to automatically calculate a threshold current based on current signals sensed by a current detecting unit under different operation modes of at least one electrical device electrically connected to the power device. Moreover, when at least one standby current sensed from the electrical device is determined to be lower than the threshold current, the controlling and processing module immediately switches a switch unit to an open-circuit state, thereby causing the electrical device unable to receive electricity from the power device. Consequently, the power device exhibits the ability of power saving.

In view of drivers cannot equip their vehicles with conventional intelligent battery monitoring system by themselves because the wire connections of the intelligent battery monitoring system are complex, the present invention particularly discloses a non-contact intelligent battery sensing system showing the advantages of simple circuit framework and low manufacturing cost. Since the non-contact intelligent battery sensing system only comprises a magnetic field sensor and a sensor controlling module, it is very easy for the drivers to equip their vehicles with this non-contact intelligent battery sensing system by themselves. To apply the non-contact intelligent battery sensing system, the driver just needs to firstly dispose the magnetic field sensor at one position near to a power line of a battery to be sensed, and then install a sensor controlling application program in his smart phones. Apparently, the non-contact intelligent battery sensing system further shows the advantage of easy to be installed.

The present invention provides a method and a device capable of automatically identifying host operating system. For the conventionally-used USB devices or USB bridge interfaces cannot effectively identify all kinds of Operation Systems (OS) from an electronic device, the present invention proposes a novel USB device consisting of: a USB physical interface, a central processing unit, and at least one peripheral interface controller; wherein the central processing unit is particularly embedded with an OS identifying library. Moreover, the present invention simultaneously proposes an automatic OS identifying method, which particularly consists of a plurality of OS identifying steps designed based on conventional USB enumeration procedures. Thus, when a specific OS of a host device treats this novel USB device with a USB enumeration, the OS identifying library is able to detect the kind of the specific OS installed in the host device, according to the plurality of OS identifying steps.

Abstract:
A DC brushless motor operation speed control method is disclosed. First, a linearly voltage dependent current source is used to charge a capacitor and the terminal voltage of the capacitor is coupled to a linearly voltage dependent base frequency level detector. When the output voltage of the capacitor reaches the base frequency reference voltage, the signal output from the base frequency level detector will make the capacitor discharge, outputting a series of base frequency triangular waves. Under different supply voltages, all the generated base frequency triangular waves have the same cycle time. The base frequency triangular waves are transmitted to a speed control comparator. Through pulse width modulation, the speed control reference voltage adjusts the output pulse width of the comparator and thereby controls the speed of the motor.
