The vertical structure of the preferred embodiment is suitable to be formed in any layer.
Abstract:
An electronic device includes a power supply, a voltage sampling circuit, a processor, and a switching unit connected between the processor and the voltage sampling circuit. The voltage sampling circuit samples the voltage of the power supply. The processor monitors the sampled voltage. The processor further generates a first control signal when the electronic device is powered off. The switching unit cuts off the electrical connection between the power supply and the voltage sampling circuit in response to the first control signal.
Abstract:
A power source includes a first power terminal for outputting a first supply voltage. A power management circuit includes a pulse width modulation unit having an input power terminal, a first switch unit capable of being turned on to establish an electrical connection between the first power terminal and the input power terminal or being turned off to cut off the electrical connection, a storage unit. The input power terminal receives the first supply voltage from the first power terminal when the first switch unit is turned on, the pulse width modulation unit is powered by the first supply voltage to generate a pulse voltage at the output terminal. The storage unit receives the first supply voltage to store energy when the pulse voltage is in a first level, and releases energy to generate an operating voltage for powering the load when the pulse voltage is in a second level.

The hinge body is pivoted to the first body around a first pivoting axis and pivoted to the second body around a second pivoting axis so that the first body is able to rotate relatively to the second body. When the first body rotates to a first position relatively to the second body, a first front surface of the first body is closed to a second front surface of the second body on a closing plane, and a pivoting plane where the first pivoting axis and the second pivoting axis are located on and the closing plane are oblique to each other.
Abstract:
Content transfer involving a gesture is described. In an implementation, a method is implemented by a mobile communications device that includes recognizing a gesture input via a touchscreen of the mobile communications device that is indicative of a direction, the touchscreen including a display of content. One or more other mobile communications devices are located that are positioned, approximately, along the indicated direction of the gesture. A communication is formed to transfer the content to the located one or more other mobile communications devices.
Abstract:
An electronic device includes a processing unit, a power management unit, and a switch. The power management unit is used for receiving a voltage and providing an operating voltage to the processing unit. The switch is connected to the processing unit and the power management unit for generating a power-off signal when being triggered. The processing unit disables the power management unit and is disabled in response to the power-off signal. The power management unit is also disabled according to the power-off signal.
