  • Publication number: 20240141939
    Abstract: A chassis quick release device includes a housing including a base with a connected sliding channel and accommodating space therein and a cover assembled with the base, a locking block linearly movably set in the accommodating space, and an operating handle having a rod body positioned on the sliding channel and a grip assembled with the rod body. The rod body has a cylindrical joint that corresponds to the grip and has a shaft groove defined therein. The grip is provided with a sleeve corresponding to the cylindrical joint and defining therein an accommodating cavity. Moving the operating handle in the direction of the housing causes the locking block to slide out from the accommodating space to form a locked state. Pulling the operating handle away from the housing causes the locking block to move linearly in a second direction to form an unlocked state.

  • Publication number: 20240134410
    Abstract: The present disclosure discloses a memory access interface device. A clock generation circuit generates reference signals. A transmitter transmits an output command and address signal to a memory device according to the reference signals. A signal training circuit executes a training process in a training mode that includes steps outlined below. A training signal is generated such that the training signal is transmitted as the output command and address signal. The training signal and the data signal generated by the memory device are compared to generate a comparison result indicating whether the data signal matches the training signal. The comparison result is stored. The clock generation circuit is controlled to modify a phase of at least one of the reference signals to be one of a plurality of under-test phases to execute a new loop of the training process until all the under-test phases are trained.

  • Publication number: 20240132330
    Abstract: Motor control architecture including a travel, a hoist, and a controller is disclosed. The travel disposed on a main rail having an auxiliary-encoder includes a master-driver and a slave-driver for driving two motors. Each motor has a main-encoder. The hoist drives a rope and calculates a rope length continuously. The controller calculates an anti-sway position command based on the rope-length and a position command. The two drivers perform a full closed-loop computation based on a feedback of one main-encoder, a feedback of the auxiliary-encoder, and the anti-sway position command. Wherein, the master-driver controls one motor based on a speed command generated by the full closed-loop computation and the slave-driver follows the speed command and a torque command of the master-driver to drive another motor; or the two drivers compensate the torque command based on an error value between the feedback of one main-encoder and the feedback of the auxiliary-encoder.

Each of access signal transmission circuits each includes a duty cycle adjusting circuit, a duty cycle detection circuit, a frequency division circuit and an asynchronous first-in-first-out circuit. The duty cycle adjusting circuit performs duty cycle adjustment on one of the reference clock signals according to a duty cycle detection signal to generate an output clock signal having a duty cycle. The duty cycle detection circuit detects a variation of the duty cycle to generate the duty cycle detection signal. The frequency division circuit divides a frequency of the output clock signal to generate a read clock signal. The asynchronous first-in-first-out circuit receives an access signal from a memory access controller and outputs an output access signal according to the read clock signal to access the memory device accordingly.
