  • Publication number: 20240211421
    Abstract: The present application discloses an adapter for data transmission between a first communication device and a second communication device, in which the first communication device reads data in the second communication device, and the data includes a plurality of data segments, wherein a size of each data segment is the maximum transmission unit of the second communication device. The adapter includes a buffer and a plurality of counters. The buffer stores the data transmitted by the second communication device temporarily. The plurality of counters are initially set to zero. Each counter corresponds to each data segment and indicates a size of partial data of each data segment that has been stored. The adapter transmits the partial data to the first communication device, when each counter indicates that the size of the partial data reaches a predetermined transmission unit but does not reach the maximum transmission unit.

  • Patent number: 10406642
    Abstract: A dual drive pressing apparatus for plural pressing heads is disclosed. The dual drive pressing apparatus includes a platform, a first rotation plate, a second rotation plate, a return set and a switch set. While the first rotation plate is driven by a first driving force, the first rotation plate rotates with the second rotation plate to a selectively specific angle relative to the platform, and the set of pressing columns is selectively aligned with a corresponding pressing head. While a second driving force is provided by the switch set to resist the resilience of the return set and push against the end of the supporting cylinder to move towards the second surface, the supporting cylinder of the second rotation plate drives the fourth surface separated from the first rotation plate, and the set of pressing columns on the third surface pushes the corresponding pressing head set.
