  • Publication number: 20150141208
    Abstract: An exerciser includes a body and an adjustment wheel. The body has two flywheels and two foot support links. The two flywheels each have a sliding portion which radially connected thereto so as to guide the two foot support links to alternatively move along a supporting travel and a crossing travel to complete a closed pedal trajectory when the flywheels rotate. The timing adjustment wheel is pivotally connected to the body. The timing adjustment wheel has a first slider and a second slider, the first and second sliders are configured to move along the sliding portions of the flywheels. The foot support links drives the flywheel to rotate so that the first and second sliders move along the sliding portions to change the speeds and phase differences of the foot support links so as to meet the principles of ergonomics.

  • Publication number: 20150139282
    Abstract: A method of generating a correlation function used to track a code phase delay value for a local code, in a spread spectrum signal receiver system, to be correlated with a received cosine or sine BOC-modulated signal, in which plurality of pulses successively occur in a single period of a spreading code chip is presented. The Method may include generating a local signal pair having a phase delay value based on a first and second local signal pair defined by first and last pulses of a signal pulse train, received during a single period of a sub-carrier of the received signal, and a given main peak shape parameter, generating a sub-correlation function pair by performing correlation operations of the received signal and the local signal pair with respect to a total time and generating a main correlation function having only a main peak by performing an elimination operation of the sub-correlation function pair.
