  • Publication number: 20100120326
    Abstract: A simulated eye is capable of being changed between a contracted state and a dilated state. The simulated eye includes a housing having at least one guiding post, a driving device housed in the housing, a transmission member movably coupled to the driving device, an eyeball having a transparent portion, an elastic film including a simulated pupil, and a stopper. The simulated pupil is viewable at the transparent portion. The stopper is attached to the at least one guiding post, and is sandwiched between the elastic film and the transmission member. When the driving device drives the transmission member, a size of the simulated pupil is changeable, whereby the simulated eye is changed between the contracted state and the dilated state.

  • Publication number: 20100108457
    Abstract: A transmission device includes a first transmission mechanism and a second transmission mechanism. The first transmission mechanism includes a first rotating portion and an engaging portion fixed on the first rotating portion. The second transmission mechanism includes a second rotating portion and at least one overload protection subassembly. The at least one overload protection subassembly includes a transmission member pivotally attached on the second rotating portion and two flexible members resisting against an opposite end of the transmission member at two opposite rotating directions of the transmission member to make the transmission member locate at a non-rotatable position with respect to the first rotating portion. An end of the transmission member engages the engaging portion to rotate with the first transmission mechanism.

  • Publication number: 20100105280
    Abstract: A simulated eye is capable of being changed between a contracted state and a dilated state. The simulated eye includes a shell defining an opening, an eyeball, and a driving device. The eyeball is received in the shell and exposed at the opening, the eyeball includes a lens and a pupil, the pupil is visible through the lens, and a virtual image of the pupil formed via the lens. The driving device is configured to drive the pupil to move toward and backward the lens. When the transmission member drives the pupil to move, the virtual image of the pupil is changeable, and the simulated eye changed between a contracted state and a dilated state.

  • Publication number: 20100102800
    Abstract: An angle sensor measures a rotated angle and the angular velocity of a rotary disc by sensing the magnetic field generated by a number of electromagnetic elements disposed on the rotary disc. The precision of the angle sensor is adjusted by selectively magnetizing the electromagnetic elements.

  • Publication number: 20100075512
    Abstract: A rotatable connector includes a first rotating member, a second rotating member rotatable relative to the first rotating member, at least one conductive connecting member sandwiched between the first rotating member and the second rotating member, and a shaft. The first rotating member includes a first rotating body and a first flexible printed circuit board fixed to the first rotating body. The first rotating body includes at least one conductive portion electrically connected to the first flexible printed circuit board. The second rotating member includes a second rotating body and a second flexible printed circuit board fixed to the second rotating body. The second rotating body includes at least one conductive protrusion. The at least one conductive connecting member electrically connects the least one conductive protrusion to the at least one conductive portion. The shaft extends through the first rotating body, the second rotating body and the second flexible printed circuit board.

  • Publication number: 20100051403
    Abstract: A driving mechanism for driving a wheel of a toy car includes a motor, a first clutch, a second clutch, a guide shaft, a spring, and a limiting element. The first clutch driven by the motor has an engaging end surface defining a center hole thereon. The second clutch capable of latching with the wheel for driving the wheel has an engaging surface engaging with the engaging end surface. The second clutch defines a stepped hole substantially perpendicular to the engaging surface thereof, the stepped hole includes a first portion and a second portion. The guide shaft is disposed running through the stepped hole and has an end thereof fixed in the center hole. The spring sleeves the guide shaft and is compressed between the limiting element secured on the guide shaft and a stepped surface in the stepped hole.
