  • Publication number: 20220369579
    Abstract: A sprinkler includes a nozzle-swinging apparatus including a movable base and a current-switching unit. The movable base includes a partition between two chambers that contain a leafed wheel and a gear train. The partition includes two channels between the chambers. The current-switching unit includes two tabs, two connectors, a valve and a switch. The tabs extend toward the connectors in one of the chambers. The valve includes two pivots each of which extends in a gap between one of the tabs and one of the connectors. The switch includes a valve-moving element for grabbing the valve and a lever including a first section extending out of the movable base and a second section extending in the movable base. The first section of the lever is operable to pivot the second section of the lever so that the valve-moving element causes the valve to close one of the channels.

  • Patent number: 10770119
    Abstract: A data receiving stage circuit of a memory circuit receives a serial input signal and a chip enable signal. A data writing circuit of the memory circuit generates at least one of a command signal and a data signal according to the serial input signal. A power supply circuit of the memory circuit generates an operating voltage for a memory cell array to perform a data access operation. A data output stage circuit of the memory circuit outputs a readout data. A controller of the memory circuit performs a switching operation of an operating state of the memory circuit according to a change of the chip enable signal. The controller determines a disable or enable state of the data receiving stage circuit, the data writing circuit, the power supply circuit, and the data output stage circuit according to the operating state.
