Abstract: A device for processing media may include a system and method for loading and unloading consumable supplies of a media processing device, and more particularly, a system and method for providing a compact form factor media processing device which provides convenient access to the replaceable components of the media processing device. A media processing device may include a base and a lid hingedly attached to the base, moveable between a closed position in which the lid is secured to the base, and an open position. A cavity may be defined between the lid and the base, where the cavity is inaccessible when the lid is in the closed position and the cavity is accessible when the lid is in the open position. The media processing device may include a ribbon positioning assembly disposed within the cavity.

Abstract: A bicycle lining wear indication system includes a lining and a display device. The lining includes a back pate, a friction portion and a detection device. The detection device includes a detecting unit, an operation unit and a transmitting unit. The detecting unit detects a wear state of the friction portion after the friction portion contacts and rubs the disk of a wheel to produce a friction coefficient characteristic. The operation unit proceeds an operation on the friction coefficient characteristic to convert the friction coefficient characteristic into a digital value. The transmitting unit transmits the digital value to the display device to remind a rider of a wear extent of the friction portion. Thus, the detection device monitors and detects the wear extent of the friction portion so that the rider can replace the lining when the friction portion is worn out.

Abstract: A device for processing media may include a system and method for loading and unloading consumable supplies of a printer, and more particularly, a system and method for providing a compact form factor printer which provides convenient access to the replaceable components of the printer. A printer may include a base and a lid hingedly attached to the base, moveable between a closed position in which the lid is secured to the base, and an open position. A cavity may be defined between the lid and the base, where the cavity is inaccessible when the lid is in the closed position and the cavity is accessible when the lid is in the open position. The printer may include a ribbon positioning assembly disposed within the cavity.

Abstract: A wheel assembly having a motor attached to a hub within the wheel assembly such that the motor powers the wheel assembly to rotate about an axle once the motor receives a predetermined amount of power. A battery system is configured to deliver power to said motor, the battery system is arranged to rotate with the wheel assembly. A sensor system within the wheel assembly that provides data to a control system related to velocity and angle of orientation of the assembly. A load transferring quick-release mechanism is also disclosed for coupling the wheel assembly to a vehicle wheel attachment frame member and a method is provided for calibrating the same.

Abstract: A thermal module includes a heat sink disposed on a contact surface of the heat source, a mounting bracket having first and second ends, a fastening member, a pressing member, and at least one clip. The mounting bracket surrounds the heat source. The first end has at least one latch portion. The second end has at least one mounting slot and at least one first opening in communication with the mounting slot. The fastening member is slidably mounted in the mounting slot. The clip spans the heat sink and has two ends respectively engaged with the latch portion and a portion of the fastening member respectively. The pressing member includes a pressing tightly engaged with the clip and urges the heat sink when an operation portion of the pressing member is rotated from the first predetermined position to the second predetermined position.
