A voltage detector 22 has an input port IN connectable to a steering remote control 6 of a voltage dividing type adapted to output one of output voltages different from each other for each of key switches to be pressed by a user, and detects through the input port IN an output voltage output from the steering remote control 6. A pull-up resistor 21a is connected in series between the input port IN and a power supply Vdd supplying a voltage to the steering remote control 6, and has a variable resistance. A controller 23 controls the pull-up resistor 21a to have sequentially changed resistances in a course of pressing the key switches. A processor 3 operates on sets of output voltages given respectively for the resistances in the course of pressing the key switches, to select a resistance of the pull-up resistor. | ||||||
3 | INTERFACE DEVICE FOR HOST DEVICE, INTERFACE DEVICE FOR SLAVE DEVICE, HOST DEVICE, SLAVE DEVICE, COMMUNICATION SYSTEM AND INTERFACE VOLTAGE SWITCHING METHOD | US13272563 | 2011-10-13 | US20120032528A1 | 2012-02-09 | Masayuki TOYAMA; Takaharu YOSHIDA; Keisuke SAKAI |
A communication system in which an operating voltage can be selected from a plurality of interface voltages enables an interface voltage to be switched in a stable manner during operation of the system. When the interface voltage is to be switched, a host device (1) and a slave device (2) perform the switching while maintaining the signal level of buses in a stable manner. This structure enables the communication system to switch an interface voltage using a small number of signal lines. | ||||||
4 | METHOD FOR SWITCHING A MULTIMEDIA SOURCE AND MULTIMEDIA SINK FROM AN OPERATING MODE TO A STANDBY MODE, AND FROM A STANDBY MODE TO AN OPERATING MODE | US12992628 | 2009-05-20 | US20110062794A1 | 2011-03-17 | Theodorus Anna Peter Gertrudis Vergoossen; Gerardus Maria Van Loon; Syed Hassan Akbar; Dengzhai Xiong; Chun Hsing Wu; Kok Siang Tan |
The invention relates to a method for switching a multimedia source and multimedia sink from an operating mode to a standby mode, and a method for switching a multimedia source and multimedia sink from a standby mode to an operating mode. When the consumer device comprises two distributed boxes, such as a TV in which the display (multimedia sink) is separated from the processing unit (multimedia source) via a cable, then meeting the green rules for standby power becomes more complicated. The power consumption of processing unit and display unit should be minimal in standby mode. The methods of the invention provide for synchronizing the power states of both units, such that only the relevant parts remain active. The method is applicable on configurations where a DisplayPort link is used between a multimedia source, such as a set-top box, and a multimedia sink, such as a display. The invention provides a reduction in overall power consumption, while still complying with the Display-Port configuration and operation standard. In an embodiment of the invention, the source and sink are configured to allow communication of standby and wake-up requests/commands when the transmitter and receiver for the auxiliary channel are powered down. The invention also provides embodiments where the switching to and from standby of the source is triggered by user | ||||||

6 | Voltage supply interface with current sensitivity and reduced series resistance | US12801807 | 2010-06-25 | US20100270869A1 | 2010-10-28 | Pieter Vorenkamp |
A voltage supply interface provides both coarse and fine current control with reduced series resistance. The voltage supply interface has a segmented switch having N component switches that are digitally controlled. The voltage supply interface replaces a conventional sense resistor with a calibration circuit that has a replica switch that is a replica of the N component switches. The calibration circuit includes a reference current IREF that is sourced through the replica switch. A voltage comparator forces a common voltage drop across the replica switch and the n-of-N activated component switches so that the cumulative current draw through the segmented switch is n·IREF. The current control of the voltage interface can be coarsely tuned by activating or deactivating component switches, and can be finely tuned by adjusting the reference current. The current sense resistor is eliminated so that the overall series resistance is lower. | ||||||

The invention relates to a switchgear cabinet or rack comprising a mounting unit, the front of which has vertical mounting profiles that laterally delimit an installation frame for installed user-side units, the front of said profiles being provided with flat fixing sections for attaching laterally projecting mounting sections of the installed units, and comprising components of a detection device for determining the presence of an installed unit in an installation position of the installation frame. The components of the detection device have a vertical detector strip that is attached to a mounting section and contains detector elements and code carriers that are provided on the installed units. To achieve a simple assembly with a precise allocation of the components of the detection device, the mounting section has a cavity that is at least partially adapted to the cross-section of the antenna strip, is open at the front and is located laterally outside the neighboring fixing section, an abutment section that is set back in relation to the plane of the fixing section at least by the cross-sectional depth of the detector strip and an inner boundary wall that delimits the cavity on the side facing the installation space. | ||||||
9 | CONTROL METHOD FOR SOFT SWITCH CIRCUIT IN SWITCH POWER SUPPLY | US12678030 | 2008-09-08 | US20100315152A1 | 2010-12-16 | Chuntao Zhang; Xiaofei Zhang; Xueli Xiao |
The present invention relates to a control method for a soft switch circuit in a switch power supply, which controls first and second main power switch devices to be turned on and turned off constantly to generate an alternating main power filter current, and controls forward and backward auxiliary switch devices to be turned on and turned off to generate an intermittent alternating resonant current across a resonant branch in the same direction as the main power filter current to thereby achieve zero-voltage turn-on of the first and second main power switch devices; and further controls the forward and backward auxiliary switch devices to be turned on and turned off to generate compensation currents across the resonant branch in the opposite direction to the alternating main power filter current in at least a period of time during resting of the resonant current to thereby accomplish a charging and discharging process of resonant capacitors in a dead time. Thus, a freewheeling diode can be turned on normally, so that it is possible to avoid a damage to the devices due to an impact current and a spark voltage resulting at zero crossing of the current in the soft switch circuit. | ||||||

In accordance with various aspects of the present invention, a method and circuit for reducing power consumption of a wall plate system during idle conditions is provided. In an exemplary embodiment, a wall plate system is configured for reducing power during idle mode by disengaging at least one outlet from a power input.

The wall plate circuit may include, a current measuring system, a control circuit, and a switch. The current measuring system provides, through the switch, an output power signal that is proportional to the load at the outlet. If behavior of the current measuring system indicates that an outlet is drawing substantially no power from the power input, the switch disengages the power input from the outlet. | ||||||

A voltage sensing device with which high-precision voltage sensing is possible without the need to obtain a unique correction constant for each device. A pair of voltage input nodes NCk and NCk-1 is selected from voltage input nodes NC0-NCn in switch part 10, and they are connected to sensing input nodes NA and NB in two types of patterns with different polarity (forward connection, reverse connection). Sensing input nodes NA and NB are held at reference potential Vm by voltage sensing part 20, and current Ina and Inb corresponding to the voltage at voltage input nodes NCk and NCk-1 flows to input resistors RIk and RIk-1.
