Abstract: A cylinder apparatus with a capability of detecting a piston position includes a cylinder, a throttling valve, a positive limit and a pressure switch. A piston is movably mounted in the cylinder. A piston rod with an outside end protruding out of the cylinder is attached to the piston and adapted to push an object. The cylinder is connected to a pump with pipes. The throttling valve and the pressure switch are connected to the pipes, and the pressure switch is installed between the cylinder and the throttling valve. Consequently, when the pump starts pumping, the piston rod pushes the object to abut the positive limit. The stopped movement of the piston rod will change the pressure in the cylinder that triggers the pressure switch to send a signal to a controlling host to stop the pump.

Abstract: An audio-signal detecting device to be disposed in a user's earmuffs for protecting his eardrums against noise of high-decibel level is comprised of a receiving unit, a first audio-signal amplifying unit, a second audio-signal amplifying unit, a peak-detecting and inverting unit, a first amplifying unit, a peak-detecting unit, a first switch, a delay unit, a second amplifying unit, a second switch, a third switch, an adjusting unit, a third audio-signal amplifying unit, and an output unit.
