Abstract:
A door lock assembly includes a sleeve connected to a handle, a spindle tube inserted into the sleeve and having a spindle tab to control a latch, and a spindle driving plate disposed transversely within the spindle tube. A tail piece of a key plug attached to the handle engages a central aperture of the spindle driving plate. A radial tooth of the spindle driving plate extends radially into a slot of the spindle tube so as to rotate the spindle tube when the spindle driving plate is rotated by the tail piece. The door lock assembly has no transmitting element to transmit rotational movement from the sleeve to the spindle tube and does not permit retraction of the latch by rotating the handle.
Abstract:
A driving circuit for controlling a light source includes a frequency controller and a switch module. The frequency controller is operable for receiving a first dimming signal for controlling the light source to achieve a predetermined brightness, and for generating a second dimming signal having a frequency out of one or more predetermined ranges according to the first dimming signal when the frequency of the first dimming signal is within the predetermined ranges. The switch module coupled to the frequency controller is operable for switching on and off alternately to achieve the predetermined brightness of the light source according to the second dimming signal when the frequency of the first dimming signal is within the predetermined ranges and according to the first dimming signal when the frequency of the first dimming signal is out of the predetermined ranges.
Abstract:
A light source driving circuit for powering multiple light sources in a vehicle includes multiple current limiters and a balance controller. The current limiters are coupled to the light sources for adjusting currents of the light sources respectively. The balance controller coupled to the current limiters can control the current limiters such that a current flowing through each of the light sources is substantially the same as a first target current. Moreover, the balance controller can control the current limiters in response to a brake of the vehicle such that a current flowing through each of the light sources is substantially the same as a second target current.
Abstract:
A controller for controlling dimming of a light source includes a detector, a dimming signal generator coupled to the detector, and a pulse generator coupled to the dimming signal generator. The detector can detect a startup phase of a burst dimming cycle of the light source and can generate a triggering signal when the startup phase ends. The burst dimming cycle includes an ON period and an OFF period. The dimming signal generator can trigger the ON period of the burst dimming cycle for a predetermined duration in response to the triggering signal. The pulse generator operable for generating a pulse signal to control a current through the light source can be enabled during the ON period and disabled during the OFF period.
Abstract:
A latch-bolt mechanism includes a housing, a latch-bolt, and a drive member. The latch-bolt is movable between an extended position and a retracted position, and includes a bolt body and an engaging member operable to move relative to the bolt body between an engagement position and a disengagement position and having an engaging portion. The drive member has a driving portion. When the engaging member is at the engagement position, the driving portion can be activated to contact and push the engaging portion so as to move the latch-bolt from the extended position to the retracted position. When the engaging member is at the disengagement position, contact between the driving portion and the engaging portion can be prevented.
Abstract:
A lock core cylinder includes a key plug having a first pin hole, a plug case receiving the key plug and having a notch, and a ring sleeved around the key plug adjacent to the plug case, and having a lug projecting axially and forwardly and extending into the notch, a second pin hole formed in the lug, and a radially and outwardly projecting protrusion movable between an engaging position and a disengaging position and engageable with a lock housing that receives the lock core cylinder. A pin chest is connected to the plug case and has a third pin hole. First and second pins are disposed movably within the first, second and third pin holes.
