  • Patent number: 9505175
    Abstract: A three-dimensional printing device including a main body having a reference side and a support side, a plurality of driving units disposed on the main body connecting the reference side with the support side along an axis, a carrying unit including a plurality of axial connection portions, a plurality of sensing units disposed on the reference side and respectively corresponding to the axial connection portions and a control unit coupled to the driving units and the sensing units is provided. The carrying unit is assembled on the driving units and driven by the driving units to move between the reference side and the support side. Each sensing unit detects that each corresponding axial connection portion arrives at the reference side and accordingly produces a termination signal, and the control unit synchronizes operations of the driving units according to the termination signals.

  • Patent number: 9421700
    Abstract: A three-dimensional (3D) apparatus including a processing unit, a base and a printing head is provided. The processing unit is configured to read and process digital 3D model information. The base is coupled to and controlled by the processing unit. The base includes a plurality of heating regions. The processing unit is configured to selectively heat at least one of the heating regions according to the digital 3D model information. The printing head is disposed above the base. The printing head is coupled to and controlled by the processing unit to dispense a thermal melting material layer-by-layer on the heated heating region to form a 3D object related to the digital 3D model information.

  • Publication number: 20060047376
    Abstract: An interface apparatus for a vehicle has a display, a man-machine controller connected to the display and an interface graphic generator. The man-machine controller generates a first control signal, a second control signal and an image signal, and sends the first control signal and the image signal to the display. The interface graphic generator is connected to the display and the man-machine controller and controlled by the second control signal to send an interface graphic to the display. The man-machine controller is operated under an operation procedure set for outputting the second control signal to the interface graphic generator, and the interface graphic generator generates and sends an interface graphic, corresponding to a specific operation procedure in the operation procedure set, to the display for displaying the interface graphic.

  • Publication number: 20060015286
    Abstract: A tire pressure measure system and method make use of the UWB wireless transmission technique in a local environment of a vehicle to measure the tire pressure of a vehicle. The tire pressure measure system has at least a data fetch terminal and a host control terminal. The data fetch terminals are disposed on at least a tire aircock of a vehicle. A user can operate the host control terminal to get the tire pressure values of a vehicle via the data fetch terminals by means of the UWB wireless transmission technique.

  • Publication number: 20060012474
    Abstract: A people-locating system and method make use of the UWB wireless data transmission technique in a short distance to build a people-locating system in a stationary environment. The system has at least a UWB emitter, a system controller, and at least a UWB node. Each of the UWB emitters has an ID data. The system controller is used to output a control signal. The UWB nodes are connected to the system controller and distributed in the stationary environment, and are used for receiving the control signal and emitting an inquiry signal to the UWB emitters to obtain in turn the ID data emitted by the UWB emitters.
