Abstract: A magneto-rheological fluid damper includes a housing, a magnetically permeable body, a spindle, and a magneto-rheological fluid. Given a plurality of multi-pole two-way magnetic poles and a plurality of multi-pole coils, magnetic lines pass through the magneto-rheological fluid mostly in a direction perpendicular to a gap, such that the magneto-rheological fluid features an enhanced chaining force. Accordingly, the magneto-rheological fluid damper enables an increase in a magnetically permeable area of the magneto-rheological fluid subjected to an applied magnetic field and enhancement of damping force, and is free from a complete system failure.

Abstract: An omniwheel is provided, which includes an omniwheel shaft, two wheel covers fixed at two ends of the omniwheel shaft, and a plurality of roller sets. The roller sets are coupled between the two wheel covers. Each of the roller sets has a plurality of rollers and at least one coupler, and each of the rollers has a roller shaft. The roller shafts are coupled with each other via the coupler, and each of the roller sets is respectively coupled to the wheel covers via the rollers disposed at two ends of the roller set. The omniwheel shaft and the roller shaft are inclined with respect to each other at an angle.

Abstract: A moving apparatus has a body, and has at least a pair of wheels, a control unit, a direction measuring unit and at least a pair of encoders installed on the body. The direction measuring unit coupled to the control unit measures the direction of the body, and the control unit obtains a first direction variation according to the direction information. The pair of encoders coupled to the control unit measure a speed of the pair of wheels, and the control unit obtains a second direction variation according to information of the speed. The control unit compares the first and second direction variations to determine whether the direction measuring unit is temporarily dysfunction. Based on the result of comparison, the control unit applies the information provided by the direction measuring unit or the pair of encoders to obtain the current direction of the body.

Abstract: A method of overcurrent protection for multi-slot flash memory card reader mainly includes integrating overcurrent protection circuit and power-supply circuit for the multiple slots of the card reader into one single control chip; and, when the overcurrent protection circuit detects an overcurrent at a particular slot, cutting off power supply to that particular slot of the card reader and enabling an overcurrent state register, so that a signal is provided to firmware in the control chip to display an icon of the card reader on a computer as a state indicating an abnormal condition. Whereby, the card reader and a flash memory card inserted therein, or other apparatus connected thereto would not be damaged when an overcurrent occurs, and a user may clearly know the exact point on the card reader where the overcurrent occurs.

Abstract: A cooling and isolating structure for an external casing of a hot air blowing gun and particularly the structure of the hot air blowing gun at the front end of its interior has a nozzle coupled to the inner barrel, with heating wires disposed inside the inner barrel. An embedded ring is disposed at one end of the nozzle, and a groove is disposed at a position corresponding to the inner side of the external casing of the hot air blowing gun. The insulating embedded plate can be disposed between the nozzle and the external casing of the hot air blowing gun to define an insulated and cooling isolating space to effectively isolate the heat conduction from the nozzle and to prevent the external casing of the hot air blowing gun from being overheated or partially deformed.
