Abstract:
A battery module includes a plurality of battery units, each of which supplies electrical power to a load through a respective linear regulator. In a method for managing supply of electrical power by the battery module, a number of battery units that supply electrical power to the load is controlled according to magnitude of a current required by the load, so as to reduce power loss in the linear regulators.
Abstract:
A lead frame assembly includes a surrounding frame and a plurality of lead frame sets arranged in a matrix. Each lead frame set includes spaced-apart first and second lead frames and a connecting structure interconnecting one of the lead frame sets to an adjacent lead frame set. Each lead frame set is further connected to the surrounding frame through the connecting structure thereof. A plurality of insulated bars are spacedly formed on a lead frame panel. Each insulated bar covers a corresponding row of the lead frame sets and exposes bottom surfaces of the first and second lead frames. Each insulated bar further covers portions of the surrounding frame that are adjacent to two opposite outermost ones of the lead frame sets.

Abstract:
A linear light source emits light beams for illuminating a target. The linear light source includes a light guide, and a light-emitting unit. The light guide has a bottom surface, first and second reflecting surfaces extending from opposite side edges of the bottom surface, and a light converging convex surface extending between the first and second reflecting surfaces, curved outward, and having multiple radii of curvature. The light-emitting unit emits light beams that exit through the light converging convex surface to converge at multiple points distributed at distinct positions in a direction perpendicular to a surface of the target, such that the target to be disposed within a range defined by the multiple points is evenly illuminated.

A protective cover includes a base plate, and a cover unit cooperating with the base plate to define an accommodating space and including an opening communicating with the accommodating space for entry of a first or second storage device into the accommodating space. At least one pad member is connected foldably to the base plate and is operable to move between unfolded and folded positions. The pad member is folded over the base plate when in the folded position. The accommodating space is adapted to accommodate the first storage device when the pad member is in the unfolded position and the second storage device when the pad member is in the folded position.
