Abstract: A bidirectional continuous power transmission system, characterized by a projecting bolt moving within a guiding opening with a rear wall and a front wall. Upon a rotating movement, the projecting bolt exerts a force on the rear wall or the front wall, depending on the orientation of the rotating movement.

By providing the rear wall and the front wall of the guiding opening with defined curvatures, well-defined forces are exerted at any speed in both orientations of the rotating movement, so that torque is continuously transmitted effectively in both directions.

Abstract: The present invention is a power output control system for electric vehicle with hybrid fuel cell, which is an optimal design of DC/DC converter and applies the controller area network (CAN) as a connected instrument for communication to make a power source tend to be more flexible. When the invention is designed in the states of medium and low loads (for example, cruise in constant speed), the main electric energy supplied by the fuel cell boosts the fuel cell to an appropriate voltage through the control of DC/DC converter. While in the state of high load (for example, transient acceleration or uphill creep), the fuel cell may be served as an on-board charger. Not only the fuel cell may provide a maximum base load of electric power, but also the remaining requirement of electric energy is matched with the additional output of electric energy supplied by a high power secondary battery.

Abstract: An improved injection/compression molding process for the manufacturing of high quality concave optical lenses of thin thickness. A thermoplastic material is injected into a mold cavity of an injection/compression molding machine, the mold cavity is designed to have adjustable thickness and is initially set at a thickness greater than the lens to be produced. After the amount of the plastic injected fills the enlarged cavity, the thickness of the cavity is gradually reduced by exerting a compressional force on the thermoplastic material inside the mold cavity. During the compression stage, the injection continues and the excess thermoplastic material is squeezed into an overflow pocket inside the injection/compression mold. The injection apparatus can be switched into a pressure holding mode during and after the compression stage to prevent any backflow and post-injection shrinkage.
