Abstract: An automatic gain control circuit includes a first voltage dividing resistor, a filter circuit, a switch circuit, and an amplifying circuit. The first voltage dividing resistor divides a voltage of the automatic gain control circuit using an internal impedance of the audio device to produce a divided DC voltage, wherein the first voltage dividing resistor is connected between a first power source and an output of the audio device. The filter circuit filters audio signals outputted from the audio device to produce filtered audio signals, and wherein the filter circuit receives the divided DC voltage, wherein the filter circuit is connected to the output of the audio device. The switch circuit outputs controlling signals according to the divided DC voltage from the filter circuit. The amplifying circuit amplifies the filtered audio signals according to the controlling signals. An electronic device using the automatic gain control circuit is also provided.

Abstract: An improved transmission mechanism for a gymnastic bicycle, in which the loaded fly wheel is mounted on the same shaft of the driving wheel, being in parallel with the same. The mechanism also comprises a set of transmission wheels so as to have the rotation speed ratio between the driving wheel and the loaded fly wheel reached 1:9. This transmission mechanism not only can obtain a high speed exercise result, but also can reduce the dimensions of the loaded fly wheel, and can improve the form of the bicycle, reduce the length of the transmission mechanism, and reduce the whole length of the gymnastic bicycle as well.
