  • Patent number: 11214287
    Abstract: A warning system for detecting approaching object and method thereof are provided. A detection unit detects a moving path of the approaching object; a storage unit stores a warning information including the warning area and the confirmation condition; and a processing unit receives the detection signal provided by the detection unit to acquire the current moving path of the approaching object. When the approaching object is detected as moving in the buffering zone, the confirmation operation of the confirmation condition is activated. When the moving path falls in the warning area and fulfills the confirmation condition, the processing unit sends out a warning signal. Therefore, a potentially dangerous approaching object is accurately identified, and the warning is correctly sent.

  • Patent number: 10989167
    Abstract: A kinetic energy harvesting mechanism has a fixing shaft, a rotating shell, an input member, and a fixing shaft driving assembly. The rotating shell is disposed on the fixing shaft. The input member is axially connected to the fixing shaft. The fixing shaft driving assembly is disposed in the rotating shell and has a first one-way bearing, a second one-way bearing, a first driving member, a second driving member, and a third driving member. Unidirectional transmission functions of the first one-way bearing and the second one-way bearing are adverse to each other. The first driving member is disposed in the rotating shell by the first one-way bearing. The second driving member is disposed in the rotating shell by the second one-way bearing. The third driving member is disposed in the rotating shell and is connected to the first driving member and the second driving member.

  • Patent number: 8100422
    Abstract: In a central transmission device of a four-wheel steering system, a turning output unit includes an output shaft extending rotatably through a rear wall of a housing for connection with a rear wheel turning mechanism, and a rotary disc coaxial and integral with a front end of the output shaft. The rotary disc has a radially extending slide groove. A turning input unit includes an input shaft extending rotatably through a front wall of the housing for connection with a front wheel turning mechanism, and a cam protrusion disposed eccentrically at a rear end of the input shaft. The cam protrusion extends into the slide groove and drives the rotary disc. The rotary disc turns reciprocally within a limited angle when the cam protrusion rotates one revolution.

  • Publication number: 20090104843
    Abstract: A position controlling mechanism is provided in the present invention, which comprises a plurality of bar linkage with multiple degrees of freedom (DOF) for controlling a specific position of the bar linkage to move arbitrarily on a curved surface according the input movement of the bar linkage of the position controlling mechanism. Meanwhile, an apparatus for controlling eye movement is also provided by combing the position controlling mechanism and an eyeball assembly arranged on the specific position of the bar linkage. By means of the position controlling mechanism, the eyeball assembly can be moved toward any direction so as to increase the diversity of the facial expression of a doll.
