Abstract: A switch includes an insulative housing, a pair of first and second contacts fixed in the insulative housing and a dome-shaped moveable contact. The insulative housing includes a receiving space and a first peripheral wall located outside of the receiving space. The first and the second contacts include first and second contacting sections, respectively. The first and the second contacting sections are separated a distance from each other and exposed in the receiving space. The dome-shaped moveable contact is mounted in the receiving space under condition that the moveable contact is constantly in contact with the second contacting section while the moveable contact is alternatively driven to engage with the first contacting section so as to establish electrical connection between the first contact and the second contact. The first peripheral wall defines a sinuated air-passageway communicating the receiving space to outside.

Abstract: An apparatus for testing the performance of Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) system, comprising: a drive motor, that is driven according to a preset speed; a turntable, that is fixed on to a plane of drive motor, said turntable including a gadget to fasten the label, the gadget makes the under-test label perpendicular to the plane and rotates with the turntable; a reader antenna, that is set to a fixed position around the turntable and connected to the under-test reader, wherein direction of main lobe axes of the reader antenna and direction of the main lobe axes of antenna built in the under-test label are in the same plane. The present invention utilizes circular motion in the lab to simulate rectilinear motion in the practical application. The present invention reduces the volume of RFID test device and the space in the lab, and improves the flexibility of the test.

The face gear set may have a new pinion, different from the original pinion, which meshes with the face gear in accordance with at least one design parameter different from a corresponding design parameter of the original pinion. The new pinion may have a tooth surface defined by a theoretical plane. The tooth surface of the new pinion may maintain tangency contact with the original pinion during rotation and translation of the plane over a meshing area of the original pinion with the face gear, and also during rotation of each of the face gear, the original pinion and the new pinion at constant speed about the new pinion's axis of rotation.
