Abstract: An optical system affixed to an electronic apparatus is provided, including a first optical module, a second optical module, and a third optical module. The first optical module is configured to adjust the moving direction of a first light from a first moving direction to a second moving direction, wherein the first moving direction is not parallel to the second moving direction. The second optical module is configured to receive the first light moving in the second moving direction. The first light reaches the third optical module via the first optical module and the second optical module in sequence. The third optical module includes a first photoelectric converter configured to transform the first light into a first image signal.

Abstract: A battery charging apparatus includes a battery compartment having a receptacle that is configured to receive a battery pack. The battery charging apparatus includes a first heat exchange module and/or a second heat exchange module. The first heat exchange module includes a plenum surrounding the receptacle, where the plenum includes a chamber to receive a fluid. The plenum also includes a plurality of flow guides disposed in the chamber to define a variable flow passage for the fluid. The second heat exchange module includes a battery connector and a heat sink thermally coupled to the battery connector. The heat sink is arranged to dissipate thermal energy from the battery pack.

Abstract: A bridge includes a connecting platform, an electrical connector, a wireless communication module, and a processing unit. The electrical connector is disposed on the connecting platform. The wireless communication module is disposed on the connecting platform and configured to receive a wireless signal. The processing unit is configured to: carry out a verification process on information included in the wireless signal; and allow the electrical connector to transmit power when the verification process on the information turned out to be true.

Abstract: The present disclosure relates to hub apparatuses and associated systems. An embodiment of the hub apparatus includes a rotor assembly, a shaft, and a stator assembly. The rotor assembly includes first/second housing components and multiple magnets mounted on one or both of the first and second housing components. The stator assembly includes (1) a coil assembly positioned corresponding to the magnets; (2) a main circuit board fixedly coupled to the coil assembly; and (3) a battery assembly positioned inside the coil assembly and carried by the main circuit board.

Abstract: The present disclosure relates to structures and associated systems for connecting a hub apparatus to a wheel. In some embodiments, the hub apparatus includes (1) a housing assembly having an outer radius; and (2) a mounting portion circumferentially provided on at least one side surface of the housing assembly. The mounting portion is formed with a plurality of coupling structures configured to couple the hub apparatus to a wheel rim. The mounting portion defines a first radius smaller than the outer radius.

Abstract: A connecting device includes a base, a locking member, linkage, and a detector. The locking member is rotatably disposed on the base and configured to rotate about an axis to a locked position along a first rotational direction and to an unlocked position along a second rotational direction opposite to the first rotational direction. The locking member has an engaging portion at a peripheral edge thereof. The linkage is rotatably disposed on the base and includes an abutting portion configured to abut against the peripheral edge. When the locking member is rotated to the locked position, the abutting portion is moved to and is engaged with the engaging portion accompanied with a rotation of the linkage. The detector is disposed on the base and configured to detect the rotation of the linkage.
