Abstract:
A shift register and a shift register are provided. The shift register comprises the switch circuit, the latch circuit, and the inverter circuit 170. The shift register set, by alternately-serially connecting two types of shift registers, can receive two clock signals and an initial pulse signal to control the output waveform. The output of the present stage shift register can be used to control the turn-on time of the nest stage shift register. Further, by changing the circuit driving signal from the dynamic signal to the static signal, the circuit can operate only when the signal is “0” or “1” without being affected by the signal rising time and the falling time so that the circuit can operate in a more stable status.

An input control apparatus and an interactive system using the same are disclosed. The input control apparatus comprises: a switch unit, for selecting an input mode for the input control apparatus selected from the group consisting of a mouse mode, a joystick mode, a keyboard mode and the combination thereof; an interface unit, for generating an input signal according to the input mode selected by the switch unit; a remote control unit, for generating and thus transmitting a control signal according to the input mode and the input signal. By transmitting the control signals of two aforesaid input control apparatuses to an electronic device, such as a computer, an interactive gamming device or an interactive multimedia device, two such input control apparatuses can be integrated as a handheld apparatus with a left-hand unit and a right-hand unit for meeting the control requirements of a comparatively more complicated game executing on the electronic device. However, for those less complicated game, the two input control apparatuses can be configured as independent devices to be operated by different users. Thereby, users are able to interact with the electronic device.

A sucking cover inserted into an electric connector with terminals received therein includes a sucking portion and an insertion portion. The sucking portion has a sucking surface at the front and a catching surface at the rear. A plane sucking area is formed as a portion of the sucking surface. The sucking surface is parallel with a bottom plate of the electric connector mounted on a PCB. The catching surface is against the top of the electric connector when the sucking cover is inserted into the electric connector. The inserted portion projected from the catching surface has an inserted wall and ribs. While the inserted portion is inserted into an inserted slot of the electric connector, the electric connector can be moved while the sucked cover is moved. In SMT, this action will improve the effective of the electric connector located in a PCB.
