  • Publication number: 20140102252
    Abstract: An auto-locking torque distributing mechanism comprises a main plate receiving two gear sets. On two sides of the main plate, slots and apertures are respectively formed near two side peripheries thereof and partially communicated with each other. A sleeve assembly includes a covering unit with an opening enclosed by a first wall whereby each aperture is communicated with the opening and arranged near the first wall while connecting the main plate to the sleeve assembly. When one wheel slips and spins much faster than the other wheel, the sleeve assembly keeps fluid to avoid leaking. By the aforementioned partial communication, the fluid is easily sucked into the aperture to enter the slot and go among the gear sets, thereby limiting the amount of torque sent to the slipping wheel and distributing as much as torque to the non-slipping wheel to keep the traction of the vehicle.

  • Patent number: 8655083
    Abstract: An image processing system includes a difference detecting module for determining whether second image data is identical to first image data to generate a determination result, and an image processing module for processing the first image data to generate a first image processed result and selectively processing the second image data. The image processing module includes a data path and a control path. According to a reference clock signal, the first and second image data are transmitted via the data path, and the determination result is transmitted via the control path. When the determination result is affirmative, the reference clock signal provided to the data path is gated, so that, without processing the second image data, the image processing module outputs the first image processed result as a second image output corresponding to the second image data.

  • Patent number: 8629728
    Abstract: A voltage-controlled oscillator (VCO) control circuit, used for controlling a VCO to process phase locking procedure after receiving a frequency locking signal, comprises an operating frequency controller and a judgment unit. The operating frequency controller, coupled to the VCO and the judgment unit, generates one of a first control code and a second control code to the VCO. The judgment unit, coupled to an input end of the VCO, generates a phase locking signal according to a voltage control signal inputted to the VCO. When the operating frequency controller receives the frequency locking signal, the operating frequency controller generates a first control code to control the VCO to switch from a first candidate VCO curve to a second candidate VCO curve. When the operating frequency controller receives the phase locking signal, the operating frequency controller generates a second control code to control the VCO to switch from the second candidate VCO curve to the first candidate VCO curve.
