  • Publication number: 20080060496
    Abstract: A transmission device for a band saw includes mainly a transmission, which, connected axially with a motor, consists of a driving gear set, a driven gear set, an output gear set and a gear rod. The gear rod is connected with a gearing jaw engaged with the output gear set inside the transmission and having a pushing device able to push the output gear set forward or backward to engage with the driven gear set to rotate in different speeds. And, combined with a driving mechanism, various speeds can therefore be selected for the sawing band to work, depending on the properties of the material to be sawed, upgrading sawing quality and efficiency.

  • Patent number: 7212220
    Abstract: The invention in one embodiment is an apparatus. The apparatus includes a lookup table having a set of entries, each entry capable of maintaining a value. The apparatus also includes a DDA (Differential Digital Analyzer) table having a set of entries, each entry capable of maintaining a value and each entry of the DDA table corresponding to an entry of the lookup table. The apparatus further includes a first multiplexing unit having a set of inputs, each input corresponding to and coupled to an entry of the DDA table. The first multiplexing unit also having a control input, the control input causing the first multiplexing unit to route one of the inputs of the set of inputs to an output. Additionally, the apparatus includes a comparison block having logic suitable for comparing each entry of the lookup table to a comparison value.

  • Publication number: 20070008000
    Abstract: Enhanced passgate structures for use in low-voltage systems are presented in which the influence of Vt on the range of signals passed by single-transistor passgates is reduced. In one arrangement, the VGATE-Vt limit for signals propagated through NMOS passgates is raised by applying a higher VGATE; in another arrangement, the Vt is lowered. The use of CMOS passgates in applications where single-transistor passgates have traditionally been used is also presented.

  • Publication number: 20060252095
    Abstract: Aerosol particle analyzer (APA) for measuring the amount of analyte in airborne particle is described. The APA uses an analysis liquid. In most embodiments, this analysis liquid is chosen so that when it is mixed with the particles, an optical property of the analysis liquid (AL) varies according to the amount of the analyte in the particles. Airborne particles are drawn into the instrument, and detected using optical methods such as light scattering or laser-induced fluorescence. When a particle of interest is detected, a charged droplet of the analysis liquid (CDAL) is ejected so that it collides with the detected particle and moves into a horizontally oriented linear quadrupole that is in an airtight container, except for small orifices to let the CDAL enter and exit.
