  • Patent number: 7929289
    Abstract: An assembly structure includes a first body, a second body and a third body. The second body detachably disposed on the first body includes a first positioning portion and a first acting portion. The third body coupled between the first and second bodies includes a second positioning portion and a second acting portion. When the third body is switched to a first predetermined position, the second positioning portion of the third body is pressed against the first positioning portion of the second body along a reference direction, thereby positioning the second body at a first reference position. When the third body is switched from the first predetermined position to a second predetermined position, the second acting portion of the second body is pressed against the first acting portion of the second body, thereby moving the second body from the first reference position to a second reference position.

  • Patent number: 7925277
    Abstract: The invention provides a positioning system of positioning a wireless communication apparatus. The positioning system transmits and receives positioning signals which have different frequency bands and generates corresponding positioning values according to the positioning signals. The positioning system then judges and selects positioning values which have less error from the generated positioning values, and calculates an average value of the selected positioning values. Therefore, positioning of the wireless communication apparatus will be more precise. Furthermore, if the positioning system is implemented in a radio-wave-based wireless communication environment, the N positioning signals can be polarized in a linear polarization way, a left-handed circular polarization way or a right-handed circular polarization way, so as to reduce the environmental impact to enhance precision of the positioning.
