  • Publication number: 20220024731
    Abstract: A counter-balanced mobile device and a crane are provided. The counter-balanced mobile device comprises a counterweight rack (10), a connection assembly (20), a transmission assembly (30) and a driving member (40), wherein the counterweight rack (10) is configured to be connected with a turntable (100), and the connection assembly (20) is configured to be connected with a counterweight (200); and the connection assembly (20) is rotatably connected with the counterweight rack (10), the driving member (40) is fixed on the counterweight rack (10) and is connected with the connection assembly (20) by the transmission assembly (30) to drive the connection assembly (20) to rotate, so that the distance from the connection assembly (20) to a set reference on the counterweight rack (10) is adjusted.

  • Patent number: 8878596
    Abstract: Systems and methods related to single molecule switching devices are disclosed. One example method can include the step of applying a tunneling current across a tunneling junction. The tunneling junction can include an endohedral fullerene that includes a fullerene cage and a trapped cluster or a trapped atom. Such a method can also include exciting one or more internal motions of the trapped cluster or the trapped atom based at least in part on the tunneling current, and changing the conductance of the endohedral fullerene based at least in part on the one or more excited internal motions. One or more electronic processes can be controlled based at least in part on the changed conductance of the endohedral fullerene.
