  • Patent number: 11964212
    Abstract: A game board device is provided for carrying and identifying game pieces that are divided into different piece types. The game board device includes a board, a plurality of optically identifying modules, and a processing module electrically coupled to the optically identifying modules. The optically identifying modules respectively correspond in position to detection regions of the board. Each of the optically identifying modules includes a light emitter that can emit light toward the corresponding detection region and a light receiver that can receive light reflected by the corresponding detection region. When any one of the detection regions is in an unoccupied mode, the corresponding optically identifying module can emit an unoccupied signal. When any one of the detection regions is in an occupied mode, the corresponding optically identifying module enables an identification signal that corresponds to the piece type of the corresponding game piece to be emitted therefrom.

  • Publication number: 20200109942
    Abstract: An arc processing method is provided. Firstly, a machining program code is provided, wherein the machining program code includes a control code for machining an arc having a start point and an end point. Then, the machining program code is analyzed to obtain a first start point vector and a first end point vector, both defined by a first coordinate system, of a tool. Then, the first start point vector is converted to a second start point vector defined by a second coordinate system. Then, the first end point vector is converted to a second end point vector defined by the second coordinate system. Then, a plurality of first interpolation vectors of interpolation points, defined by the second coordinate system and interposed between the second start point vector and the second end point vector, are obtained. Then, all the first interpolation vectors are converted into corresponding second interpolation vectors.
