| 20110157939 | POWER ADAPTER APPARATUS AND POWER MANAGEMENT METHOD - A power adapter apparatus and a power management method thereof are disclosed in the invention. The power adapter includes an output interface and a power modulation unit. The power adapter can be electrically connected with an electronic device through the output interface. There is a detective structure disposed on the output interface. The power management method includes steps of: 1) detecting whether the power adapter apparatus is electrically connected with the electronic device by the detective structure; and 2) when the output interface is detected to be disconnected from the electronic device, switching the power modulation unit to a standby state, so as to reduce a total power consumption of the power modulation unit. | 06-30-2011 |
| 20110285492 | FERRITE CORE COIL - A ferrite core coil is provided, which includes a ferrite core element, at least a flexible substrate, and a plurality of first conductors disposed at an interval on the flexible substrate. The ferrite core element has at least a winding area, and the flexible substrate wraps a surface of the winding area of the ferrite core element. Furthermore, two ends of each first conductor respectively have a first contact and a second contact. In this manner, when the first contact of the first conductor and the second contact of the adjacent first conductor are connected electrically, a coil circumscribing the ferrite core element is formed. The winding process is thus greatly simplified, automatic fabrication of the ferrite core coil is facilitated, and the lithography process can be used to fabricate the first conductors on the flexible substrate, resulting in a small sized ferrite core coil. | 11-24-2011 |
| 20110286250 | POWER ADAPTATION DEVICE AND POWER SUPPLY MANAGEMENT METHOD - A power adaptation device and a power supply management method thereof are provided. The power adaptation device includes a terminal seat, a detection structure, a detection unit, an electric power modulation unit, an electric power modulation unit, and a control unit. The power supply management method includes the following steps. A detection result of the detection structure is read by the detection unit to judge whether the power terminal is electrically connected to the electronic device. The detection unit notifies the control unit that the power terminal is not connected to the electronic device when judging that the power terminal is not connected to the electronic device. The control unit controls the electric power modulation unit to stop supplying power to the electric power modulation unit to reduce a total power consumption of the electric power modulation unit. | 11-24-2011 |
