Abstract:
A speed-changing control mechanism of a multistage speed-changing wheel hub has a planetary gear device comprising a gear support and a plurality of planetary gears. The planetary gears are respectively engaged with a ring gear and sun gears. The rotational power of a drive member is transmitted to the ring gear or the gear support via a sleeve. A speed ratio change is brought about by the action of the planetary gears and the sun gears. The power is finally transmitted to the wheel hub via the gear support or the ring gear. The planetary gears are driven by the power input source portion of the sleeve in conjunction with the action of another sleeve on the fastening shaft, thereby controlling two sets of one-way ratchet pawls opposite in direction to engage or disengage. As a result, the input of the power source and degrees of freedom of the sun gears can be controlled by the use of the control slot, thereby preventing the interference between the retaining slot and the control key and eliminating the complicated power shifting mechanism.
Abstract:
A system (10) for interconnecting two modules (100, 100') to the CUP chip, includes two opposite connectors (12, 14) in a head-to-head arrangement. The traces (200) each of which connects the two corresponding contacts 28/30 and 30'/28' each being located in the same position of the corresponding connector (12, 14), are generally arranged in a parallel relationship. One (12) of the connectors (12, 14) is substantially a standard one. The other (14) of the connectors (12, 14) is generally, but not exactly, of a mirror image with regard to the first one (12), wherein the positions of the two-row contacts (28'/30') with regard to the housing (16') along the lengthwise direction of the second connector (14) are arranged in an opposite relationship with regard to those in the first connector (12). When used, a standard module (100) can be inserted into the first connector (12) in a common way with its upside surface (106) facing up, or can be inserted into the second connector (14) in an opposite way with its back surface (108) facing up, whereby the pads (P1-P144) printed on both surfaces (106, 108) of the module (100, 100') can be respectively properly electrically connected to the corresponding traces (200) regardless of which connector (12, 14) it is inserted into.
Abstract:
An electrical connector having positioning posts is disclosed. The electrical connector comprises a first and a second positioning posts formed on both longitudinal ends of a front surface of an insulating housing for inserting into a pair of holes of a printed circuit board. Each of the first and second positioning posts defines a respective longitudinal direction, and includes a pair of positioning members on both longitudinal ends, a stop bar between the pair of positioning members, and an open slot between each of the positioning members and the stop bar. The width of the positioning post defined by both sides of the stop bar is shorter than the length of the positioning post defined between respective longitudinal outer surfaces of the positioning members.
Abstract:
A given field emission element includes a carbon nanotube field emission wire and at least one supporting protective layer coating an outer surface of the carbon nanotube field emission wire. The carbon nanotube field emission wire is selected from a group consisting of a carbon nanotube yarn, a wire-shaped CNT-polymer composite, and a wire-shaped CNT-glass composite. A method for manufacturing the described field emission element includes the steps of: (a) providing one carbon nanotube field emission wire; (b) forming one supporting protective layer on an outer surface of the carbon nanotube field emission wire; and (c) cutting the carbon nanotube field emission wire to a predetermined length and treating the carbon nanotube emission wire to form the field emission element.
