Abstract:
A method and apparatus prevents interference between a radio signal from RDS-TMC service provider for receiving traffic and travel data by an RDS-TMC receiver and a radio signal for transmitting audio, text, or image data from an FM modulator. The method includes the steps of starting an operation of the receiver system, stopping an operation of the FM modulator while keeping operation of the RDS-TMC receiver, examining whether an RDS-TMC signal from a service provider is available at a current location, receiving the RDS-TMC signal and retrieving RDS-TMC data therefrom, sending the retrieved RDS-TMC data to an audio/video system, and starting the operation of the FM modulator while allowing to output an FM signal from the FM modulator at allowable frequency bands which are outside of a blocked range to send data to the audio/video system.
Abstract:
A PCI-E debug card includes an insertion part, a low-pin-count pin set, a power pin, a ground pin, a decoder and a display unit. The insertion part is for connecting to a PCI-E slot. The low-pin-count pin set includes a reset pin, a clock pin and a plurality of data pins, each of which corresponds to reserved pins of the PCI-E slot. The power pin and the ground pin are disposed on the insertion part and correspond respectively to a slot power pin and a slot ground pin of the slot. The decoder decodes test data from the low-pin-count pin set to be a post code which is then showed by the display unit.
Abstract:
In accordance with the present invention, the circuit apparatus has a first and a second connection point each for respectively connecting to the first bay and second bay for communicating with them to determine which device in the bays is the master device. The circuit apparatus also has a third and a fourth connection point both of them for connecting to the first bay or second bay for receiving the Boolean algebra to determine which device is the master device. The circuit apparatus further has a fifth connection point for determining whether the circuit apparatus works.
Abstract:
A pressing device is provided, including: a main body, including a chamber; a pushing assembly, including a retractable mechanism movably inserted within the chamber, a first pushing board connected with the retractable mechanism and a restricting member embedded within the chamber and blocking the retractable mechanism from moving out of the chamber; a hydraulic mechanism, including a tube body which is connected with the main body and communicated with the chamber, a driving rod movably inserted within the tube body and a piston driven by the driving rod, the piston being configured to drive fluid to flow in or out of the chamber. Another pressing device is further provided, differing from the pressing device described above in that: the main body further including a channel, a wall of the chamber including at least one recession which is communicated with the channel.
Abstract:
An electrical connector includes a base with a number of contacts, a cover pivotally mounted to the base, a pair of supporting components for mating with the cover, and a reinforce piece fixed to the cover. The reinforce piece is fixed to the cover and includes a pair of opposite engaging projections extending into the front opening The cover and the pair of supporting components are mateable with each other in condition that one of the cover and the pair of supporting components pivots clockwise while a remaining one of the cover and the pair of supporting components pivots anti-clockwise. The cover and the supporting components are pivotal between an opening location and a closed location for receiving a plug connector.
Abstract:
A high accuracy satellite signal receiving controller and associated method is provided. The high accuracy satellite signal receiving controller includes a frequency synthesizer, and an analog-to-digital converter (ADC), a Global Positioning System (GPS) receiving module and a control unit. The frequency synthesizer, coupled to an external non-temperature-compensated crystal oscillator (non-TXCO), generates an oscillating frequency signal to the GPS receiving module. The ADC converts an analog temperature signal into a digital temperature signal. The control unit, coupled to the ADC, adaptively updates temperature/frequency offset data.
Abstract:
A lamp device includes a lamp housing, a light emitting component serving as a heat source and a cooling system. The cooling system includes a liquid coolant, a cooling module, a vapor conduit, a coolant conduit, and a condenser. The cooling module includes a casing and a converting component. The casing has a thermal-transmittance wall having an interior surface and an exterior surface, a coolant inlet and a vapor outlet. The converting component divides an interior of the casing into a coolant chamber and a vaporization chamber. The converting component is formed with a plurality of orifices for permitting the liquid coolant in the coolant chamber to be ejected therethrough to form plumes of the liquid coolant that travel toward the interior surface of the thermal-transmittance wall and that exchange heat with the thermal-transmittance wall to result in coolant vapor flowing out of the vaporization chamber via the vapor outlet.
Abstract:
A system for modulating audio effects of speakers is provided. The system includes a selecting module, a playing module, a recording module, a time delay computing module and a modulating module. Based on these modules, the system is capable of determining a time difference and a pitch for each of the speakers, and modulating the time difference and the pitch for each of the speakers to a desired time difference and a desired pitch, so as to ensure that simultaneous sounds from each speaker arrive at a microphone at about the same time and with the same audio pitch. A related method is also provided.
Abstract:
A foldable lock structure includes an outer shell, an inner shell, a lock core, a lock case, a lock cover and a foldable lock rod set. The outer shell, the inner shell, and the lock core are all secured in the lock case and the lock cover. The lock core is secured in the inner shell. The lock case has a slidable anti-dust cover at the bottom thereof. The foldable lock set is connected to the outer shell and the lock cover in a rotatable manner.
Abstract:
A massage body-building device comprises a rod body; the rod body integrally formed with at least one massage body; the massage body having a plurality of noses; two ends of the rod body being formed with respective stops; each of two surfaces near two ends of the rod body being formed with a through hole and two embedding holes; two rollers engaged to the portions of the rod body near two ends of the rod body; two positioning sleeves installed at two ends of the rod body; each positioning sleeve having a through hole; two plugs for sealing the two positioning sleeves; and an elastic rope having two ends which are installed to the rod body. Each of two end surfaces of the rod body is formed with a projection; one end of each positioning sleeve has an inner annular ring; and one edge of the ring has a recess for receiving the projection of the rod body.
