Abstract:
A fan circuit controls a speed of a fan. A control chip outputs a pulse width modulation (PWM) signal that changes with the temperature of an electronic device that the fan is mounted in. An input circuit converts the PWM signal into a continual voltage signal. An amplifier circuit amplifies the voltage signal and outputs a control signal. When the control signal is less than a threshold voltage, the control circuit is turned on and the fan receives current which is less than preset current. When the control signal is greater than the threshold voltage, the control circuit is turned off and the fan receives current which is greater than the preset current.

Abstract:
A hinge assembly (100) includes a cam (13), a follower (14), a first spring (12), a press rod (17), a control member (18) and a second spring (16). The cam has a cam surface. The follower has a latching cam surface engaging with the cam surface. The first spring provides an elastic force causing the cam surface of the cam and the latching cam surface of the follower to abut each other. The press rod includes a threaded portion (173). The control member threadedly engages with the threaded portion of the press rod. The second spring provides an elastic force to return the control member. When the press rod is pushed, the control member rotates to cause the follower to rotate whereby the cam surface of the cam rotates relative to the latching cam surface of the follower.
Abstract:
An overcurrent protection circuit connected between a voltage input and a voltage output of an electronic device to protect against excessive current is disclosed. The overcurrent protection circuit includes first to fifth resistors, a relay comprising a coil and a normally closed switch, a pnp transistor, and a break-over element. When a current between the voltage input and the voltage output is greater or equal to a rated current of the electronic device, the npn transistor is turned on, while the coil is powered on to control the switch to be opened, therefore the voltage output cannot output voltage, which can protect against excessive current damaging the electronic device.
