  • Publication number: 20160310852
    Abstract: A game recording apparatus includes a video processing module, a video buffering module, an information converting module, a subtitle buffering module, and a video integrating module. The video processing module is coupled between a game console and video buffering module. The information converting module is coupled between a game controller and subtitle buffering module. The video processing module receives a video signal from game console and codes it, and coded video signal is stored in video buffering module. The information converting module receives an operation information from game controller and converts operation information into a subtitle information and saves it into subtitle buffering module. The video integrating module integrates coded video signal and subtitle information into a game video information with a specific video format. Therefore, requirements of time constraint and computing power can be reduced and operation load and cost of game recording apparatus can be lowered.

    Abstract: A chuck structure for fixing a drumstick on a non-circular revolving shaft of a foot drum includes a retractable chuck, two arched plates and a fastening element. The two arched plates clamp the non-circular revolving shaft. An inner arched surface of each arched plate has an inner fastening surface correspondingly clamping the non-circular revolving shaft, and an outer arched surface of each arched plate has a spiked surface. The retractable chuck includes a fastening portion and a rotating portion, which are pivotally connected to each other, clamp the two arched plates, and are penetrated by the drumstick. Each of the fastening portion and a rotating portion has a clamping surface abutting against the spiked surface. The fastening member propels and rotates the rotating portion, so as to allow the retractable chuck, spaced by the two arched plates, to clamp and fasten on the non-circular revolving shaft.

  • Patent number: 9476439
    Abstract: A clamping device for clamping a portable smart apparatus includes an installation plate, two clamping elements and an elastic member. Two ends of the elastic members are respectively connected to the two clamping elements. The two clamping elements are opposite each other and are slidably disposed on the installation plate. Each of the two clamping elements is disposed with a rotating ring, which has its two ends pivotally connected to two ends of the clamping element and forming a clamping rod on the clamping element. The two clamping elements respectively clamp two diagonal corners of the portable smart apparatus. By rotating the rotating ring, a gap between the clamping rod and the clamping element can be changed. The two clamping elements are further capable of relative sliding movements. Accordingly, the present invention is apt for clamping portable smart apparatuses having different thicknesses and sizes to satisfy utilization requirements.

  • Patent number: 9437048
    Abstract: A method for searching plane area on a 3D model comprises following steps of: obtaining an outline of the 3D model; setting a lowest point of the outline based on a datum axis to be a locate point; extending from the locate point along another two axes to search all coordinate points within the outline at a substantially height on the datum axis with the locate point; reserving of the information of the continual coordinate points which can constitute a plane area; recording the plane area; amending value on the datum axis to add fixed variable of the locate point; executing above steps repeatedly until the locate point is amended to be the highest point of the outline based on datum axis. The present disclosure can actually search for all plane area on the outline of the 3D model, so as to help the combination with other 3D models.

  • Publication number: 20150131490
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a bidirectional voice transmission system and a method thereof, wherein the system timing of the system is divided into three time slots for carrying a control signal, a broadcast voice signal and a mobile device voice signal. The bidirectional voice transmission system is able to carry out the signal transmission by way of frequency frogging, so as to effectively avoid the signal interference from occurring between any two different signal transmitting and receiving devices. Besides, all of the mobile devices can be added into the bidirectional voice transmission system by way of dynamic building, without using any specific communication interface. The most important is that, the number of node routers can be expanded to about 65,000 in order to apply the bidirectional voice transmission system in a huge range network communication or a wild rescue field.

  • Patent number: 8993865
    Abstract: A pedal beating apparatus for musical instruments comprises a pedal beating holder, an elevation adjustment tray and a clamp beam. The elevation adjustment tray is movable against the pedal beating holder and has an elevation difference curved surface. The pedal beating holder has a fulcrum member. The clamp beam hinged on the fulcrum member has a clamp end and a leaning end at two ends. A compression spring is interposed between the clamp beam and pedal beating holder and located between the clamp end and fulcrum member to allow the leaning end to move downward to contact the elevation difference curved surface. By moving the elevation adjustment tray, position of the leaning end contacting the elevation difference curved surface is adjusted to further drive the clamp end to move. Thus distance between the clamp end and clamp boss can be changed to rapidly clamp drum hoops with varying thicknesses.

  • Patent number: 8974138
    Abstract: A fast disassembly fastening apparatus mounted onto a bracing post includes a mounting seat, a press portion, a latch portion and an elastic portion. The mounting seat has a housing compartment with an aperture run through by the bracing post. The latch portion is hinged in the housing compartment and has a fixed position intruding into the aperture and a release position escaping from the aperture. The elastic portion is compressed to push the latch portion to the fixed position. The press portion is inserted into the housing compartment to contact the latch portion and push the latch portion to the release position. By pressing the press portion, the bracing post runs through the aperture. After the press portion is released, the elastic portion pushes the latch portion to latch the bracing post so that the mounting seat is held on the bracing post to fix a musical instrument.

  • Publication number: 20150059555
    Abstract: A portable cajon hitting assembly comprises a foot pedal, a wire tube, an upright plank, a bracing bar, a hitter and a holding rack. The wire tube is threaded by a drawing wire having a start end and a distal end. The upright plank has a turnable axle. The foot pedal is connected to the start end of the drawing wire through a chain. The bracing bar has two ends fastened respectively to the axle and the distal end of the drawing wire. The hitter is fastened to the axle. The holding rack clamps and holds a cajon. Thus, through relative positions of the bracing bar and drawing wire and a lever action, the drawing wire can draw the axle to turn at an optimal angle, and also increase instantaneous torsional force to enhance smoothness during treading of the foot pedal.
