  • Publication number: 20080224545
    Abstract: A pulse generating device and method are provided. The pulse generating device includes a control device, a first knob, and a second knob. The control device is configured to receive a pulse signal and generate a pulse command. After being actuated, the first knob provides a single pulse of the pulse signal to the control device for triggering the control device to generate a single pulse command. The second knob provides the pulse signal to the control device in a frequency corresponding to a twisted angle of the second knob so as to trigger the control device to repeatedly generate the pulse command.

  • Patent number: 7118028
    Abstract: A method for cutting a window blind by using a cutting machine includes the step of (a) displaying data of the window blind on a display by reading a barcode provided at the window blind; (b) inputting the size of a window that is to be installed with the window blind and an installation mode of the window blind by selection, and then calculating and displaying on the display a size to be cut based on the data of the window blind and the size of the window and the installation mode selected; and (c) automatically controlling a positioning mechanism of the cutting machine to move to a predetermined position corresponding to the calculated size to be cut by a processor for stopping the window blind in a cutting position, and then controlling a cutting unit of the cutting machine to cut the window blind by the processor.
