  • Patent number: 12139357
    Abstract: A material strip collection mechanism coiling fed material strip on a reel includes a vertically positioned reel bracket rotatable about a vertical axis between a first configuration and a second configuration. The mechanism further includes a first arm holding the reel and a second arm each rotatable to drive the reel and coil the material strip on the reel. With the reel bracket in the first configuration, the first arm is in a material strip collection position to allow the material strip to be coiled on each empty reel held by the first arm to form a full reel, while the second arm is in a standby position to allow the full reel held by the second arm to be replaced with a new empty reel.

  • Patent number: 12143724
    Abstract: A clamping device, an electronic device, and a remote control method of the electronic device. The clamping device includes a clamping unit, a first communication unit, and a control unit. The clamping unit is suitable for clamping the electronic device. The first communication unit is suitable for pairing with a second communication unit of the electronic device. The control unit is coupled to the clamping unit and the first communication unit. When the clamping unit is switched from an off mode to an on mode, the control unit controls the first communication unit to pair with the second communication unit and sends a screen-off command to the second communication unit via the first communication unit after the pairing is completed. When the clamping unit is in a clamping mode, the control unit sends an application open command to the second communication unit via the first communication unit.
