    摘要: An adjustable seat tube structure which is for adjusting a height of a saddle for a bicycle includes a lower tube, an upper tube and a piston set. The lower tube includes a top end. The upper tube is disposed at the lower tube and is limitedly moved relative to the lower tube. The upper tube is linked with the saddle and includes an upper end, an inner space, and a lower end. The upper end is protruded out of the top end, and the inner space is for receiving a gas. The lower end is corresponded to the upper end. The piston set includes a piston, a valve and a rod. The piston is disposed inside the inner space, and the lower end is moved relative to the piston. The valve is disposed inside the piston and the rod is connected to the piston.

    摘要: A fluid-driven actuator system includes a fluid-driven actuator and at least one proportional control valve and at least one pump connected to the fluid-driven actuator to provide fluid to operate the fluid-driven actuator. The at least one pump includes at least one fluid driver having a prime mover and a fluid displacement assembly to be driven by the prime mover such that fluid is transferred from the pump inlet to the pump outlet. The fluid-driven actuator system also includes a controller that establishes at least one of a speed and a torque of the at least one prime mover to adjust at least one of a flow in the fluid-driven system to a flow set point and a pressure in the fluid-driven actuator system to a pressure set point and concurrently establishes an opening of the at least one proportional control valve to adjust at least one of the flow to the flow set point and the pressure to the pressure set point.

    摘要: Apparatus configuration in which: a piston (10) is inserted into a housing (1) ascendably and descendably; and pressurized oil supplied to and discharged from a driving chamber (11) arranged above the piston (10). An output rod (15) inserted into an upper wall (2) of the housing (1) protrudes upward from the piston (10). A descent-detecting first detection valve (31) and an ascent-detecting second detection valve (32) arranged outside the periphery of the output rod (15) and in the upper wall (2), circumferentially spaced apart at a predetermined interval. Each first detection valve (31) and second detection valve (32) has an operated portion (49) (79) which faces the piston (10) from above. The apparatus is configured so that pressurized air for detection is supplied through a first supply passage (B1) and a second supply passage (B2) inlets (31a) (32a) of the first detection valve (31) and the second detection valve (32), respectively.
