A nebulizer with orientation independent operation is provided. The nebulizer includes an outer tube, an inner tube provided in the outer tube, and a mesh structure disposed above an end of the outer tube. A first channel, a main channel, and a second channel are formed between the outer tube and the inner tube. When in use, capillary force is created in the main channel, such that a liquid contained in the inner tube can be transported sequentially through the second channel, the main channel, and the first channel to the mesh structure. The liquid is nebulized and dispersed into the air through vibrations of the mesh structure actuated by an annular vibration source.

A multiphase power supply device and a current adjusting method thereof are provided in the application. The multiphase power supply device outputs power sources and currents with different phases to a microprocessor, and a detection module detects present temperature values of each phase power source to adjust currents of each phase power source to achieve thermal balance. The multiphase power supply device further can automatically measure the power efficiency and display results including the detected temperature values of each phase power source and the power efficiency on a screen, and thus the user can know the operation efficiency of the power supply device conveniently.

A control method of a variable-frequency and multi-phase voltage regulator module is provided. The variable-frequency and multi-phase voltage regulator module is connected to a central processing unit and embedded on a motherboard for providing a central-processing-unit current. The control method includes steps of: detecting an intensity of a central-processing-unit current of the central processing unit; providing a power to the central processing unit via M number of phases based on a first switching frequency if the intensity of the central-processing-unit current is greater than a reference-current value; and providing a power to the central processing unit via N number of phases based on a second switching frequency if the intensity of the central-processing-unit current is less than the reference-current value.

A symbol recognition method for increasing the symbol recognition speed by the processor includes the steps of obtaining a pixel density value and an aspect ratio of the symbol image. Then, the center-point value and the corresponding radius value are obtained by a partitional clustering algorithm. In sequence, a pixel density value and the aspect ratio of the under recognized image are obtained, and compared with the values of the symbol image to determine whether the under recognized image is a single symbol image or not.
