  • Patent number: 10442497
    Abstract: An easy-adjustment bicycle gear-shifting system consisting of a microcontroller unit, a memory, a driver and a derailleur is disclosed. The memory has stored therein more than three position tables each containing the position information of the derailleur relative to the chainrings. The position information contained in one position table has a part or all different from the position information contained in every other position table. The position tables are arranged one after another in a proper order corresponding to one same chainring in such a manner that every two adjacent position tables are differed by a distance value corresponding to one same chainring. The microcontroller unit selects one position table, and drives the driver to shift the derailleur to the corresponding position according to the position information of the selected position table.

  • Patent number: 7965332
    Abstract: Device and method capable of dynamically displaying digital images by coordinate conversion on a virtual plane are provided. The device includes a display unit, a storage unit, and a processing unit. The display unit includes a screen. The storage unit stores a digital image. The processing unit establishes a virtual plane including a display region corresponding to the screen of the display unit, projects the digital image on the virtual plane to form an image region, and decides a moving trace of the image region on the virtual plane. When the image region and the display region overlap, the processing unit calculates the overlap and displays a corresponding part of the digital image by reading from the storage unit on a corresponding part of the screen.
