Abstract:
An automatic gathering pre-shape machine has a main body and a gathering device. The main body can make plastic films formed into a circular shape with an annular flange formed around a top edge of the film. The gathering device allows a pre-shaped plastic film be blown toward an outer end of the barrel to hit a block wall and drop and mount around a tip portion of corresponding shelf to be gathered. Consequently, the plastic film may easily and automatically be gathered from the main body. Therefore, the plastic films can be kept from being damaged and the pre-shaping process is accelerated.
Abstract:
An electrical connector (100) provides a housing (1) defining a receiving space (10), a number of contacts (3) received in the housing, and an improved detect means including a first switch contact (4) and a second switch contact (5). The contacts and the switch contacts are embedded in corresponding passageways (111) defined on a mounting wall (11) of the housing. The second switch contact has a body portion (53) and a tail portion (54) curved backwardly from the body portion. The tail portion provides an extension potion (541) extending laterally to be positioned under the first switch contact and be spaced from the first switch contact a distance, and the first switch contact is depressed to engage with the extension portion when an electronic card (7) is inserted into the receiving space of the housing.
Abstract:
The invention features the drawbridge assembly and its applications in optical switches, optical crossconnects, optical add/drop multiplexers and variable optical attenuators. In optical switches and optical crossconnects, an array of the drawbridge assemblies can be used to redirect the multiple input lights to multiple outputs. In add/drop multiplexers, the drawbridge assemblies can select the light channels to be added and dropped. In the attenuator embodiment, a vertical mirror is inserted into two fibers, the first one as the input and the second one as output. The drawbridge assembly controls the position of the vertical mirror for blocking a certain portion of the light and enabling the attenuation. The continuous change of the mirror position results in variable attenuation. A series of VOA form a multi-channel VOA system on a single substrate.

FIG. 1 is a front and top perspective view of an office chair base, showing my new design; FIG. 2 is a rear and bottom perspective view thereof; FIG. 3 is a front elevation view thereof; FIG. 4 is a rear elevation view thereof; FIG. 5 is a left side elevation view thereof; FIG. 6 is a right side elevation view thereof; FIG. 7 is a top plan view thereof; FIG. 8 is a bottom plan view thereof; FIG. 9 is an enlarged perspective view of detail “9” identified in FIG. 1; and, FIG. 10 is an enlarged perspective view of detail “10” identified in FIG. 2. The dashed lines in the figures illustrate portions of the office chair base that form no part of the claimed design. The dash dot dash lines in FIGS. 1, 2, 9 and 10 are for the purpose of depicting the boundary lines of the enlarged views and form no part of the claimed design.
Abstract:
A highly parallel bit rate estimator and method for estimating bit rate are provided for high efficiency video coding applications. The electrical hardware architecture groups syntax elements into independent processing groups and utilizes a table-based context-adaptive binary arithmetic coding scheme to more rapidly estimate bit rates and optimize compression of high-definition videos.

Abstract:
A radio frequency (RF) transmitter architecture includes at least one digital signal processing module. The at least one digital signal processing module is configurable to operate in at least a first mode wherein the at least one digital signal processing module is arranged to receive a digital input signal, select, from a reduced set of digital power amplifier (DPA) control values, a plurality of DPA control values based at least partly on the received digital input signal, perform interpolation of the plurality of selected DPA control values to determine a DPA control value from a non-reduced set of DPA control values representative of the received digital input signal, and output to at least one DPA component the determined DPA control value representative of the received digital input signal.
