Abstract:
A method for Wear-Leveling includes: utilizing a comparison circuit to compare an average erase count with an erase count of a first data block; and utilizing a first free block as a replacement for storing data content of the first data block so as to make the first data block become a free block when the erase count of the first data block is smaller than the average erase count.
Abstract:
A strand feeding device includes a seat body, a bobbin-mounting post extending uprightly from said seat body, a bobbin sleeved rotatably around the post, a pair of strand-guiding posts extending upwardly from the seat body and a strand-guiding member installed at the distal end of said strand-guiding posts. Said strand-guiding member includes an aperture, formed by a pair of first arc segments having a major axis with respect to which the aperture is symmetrical, and a pair of second arc segments having a minor axis with respect to which the aperture is symmetrical. This configuration of aperture enhances the braiding fluency and produces a coaxial cable with high quality of insulation.
Abstract:
A braiding apparatus includes a platform, a base plate, a core unit, a transmission unit, a track assembly, and strand carriers. The track assembly is divided into two braiding track groups each provided with transmission discs. The transmission discs of both braiding track groups are sequentially connected to define two braiding routes. The strand carriers shuttle on both braiding routes respectively and incessantly. Two intersection points are defined when the two braiding routes intersect. Accordingly, carrier strands fed by the strand carriers are wound around a core strand fed by the core unit while shuttling incessantly and are interwoven with each other while passing through the two intersection points during the incessant shuttling motion, thereby wrapping a multi-convolutional braided layer around the core strand to complete a rope. Each convolution of the braided layer has two crossing points, which increases the practicability of the rope.
Abstract:
A braiding apparatus includes a base, a strand supplier supplying a core strand, strand carriers shuttling on the base and providing carrier strands that wrap the core strand and twist together to form a rope, a guiding pulley disposed above the strand carriers to feed the rope to a strand collector, and a control device having a driving source connected to the guiding pulley, at least one recognition unit arranged on the guiding pulley, a sensor disposed relative to the guiding pulley, and a controller electrically connected to the sensor and the driving source. The sensor counts the number of the recognition unit passing the sensor when the guiding pulley rotates to measure lengths of divided sections of the rope. Concurrently, the controller controls the driving source and the guiding pulley to have different rotational speeds, thereby controlling different braid densities of different sections of the same rope precisely.

Abstract:
A guiding device for a carrier braiding machine is mounted on a cover of the machine and comprises a center guide member and an outer guide member. The transfer plates are located between the center guide member and the outer guide member and the inner and outer guide members limit the support plates of the carrier so that the eccentric force cannot push the carrier away from the transfer plates. The contact between the support plates of the carrier and the guide members also reduces the torque and sped of the carrier so that the carrier is protected.
Abstract:
The present invention provides a multi-steps depositing process. The process provides a substrate having at least a shallow trench, and then performs a first high density plasma chemical vapor deposition (HDP CVD) to form a first dielectric layer on the substrate and a surface of the shallow trench. A partial etching process is performed to etch the first dielectric layer, and a passivation process is performed. Finally, a second HDP CVD is performed to form a second dielectric layer on the first dielectric layer and fill the shallow trench.
Abstract:
In an electricity generating device by applying vehicle weight, a rolling vehicle wheel is weighting down on a pressure receiver to actuate a driving mechanism having a restoring function. It is then able to provide a unidirectional rotating torque to drive a generating device to produce electrical power. The mechanical power transmission is performed by a transmission gear unit composed of a driving wheel and a follower wheel interconnected each other with a transmission means therebetween. When the vehicle weight is applied to the driving mechanism by pressing the vehicle wheel on the pressure receiver, the driving mechanism is forced to downwardly urge a ratchet wheel and a driving wheel to rotate that in turn causes the rotation of the follower wheel through the transmission means thereby driving the generating device to operate to produce electricity. The driving mechanism can recover its initial state with the aid of a balancing weight as soon as it has been liberate from the exerted pressure of the vehicle wheel. The device is to be installed flush with the road surface to work.
