  • Patent number: 8911276
    Abstract: Provided is a toy building block which uses magnets, and which is a combination building block toy and teaching instrument with embedded magnets, wherein on each of the four edges of an upper frame (2) and lower frame (3), an inward-facing insertion aperture (6) is formed to connect internally to a central hollow portion (7), a magnetic ball (8) is inserted in the respective central hollow portions (7), and a projecting protrusion on the top and bottom of four pillars are inserted in the respective insertion apertures; and inward-facing projecting protrusions (21, 22, 23, 24), (25, 26, 27, 28) on an upper frame (20), lower frame (30), and pillars (40, 41, 42, 43), are respectively inserted in insertion grooves (23?, 24?, 27?, 28?) and (23a, 23b, 28a, 18b) on respective rails (9, 9?) (11, 11?), (9a, 9b, 11a, 11b) to assemble blocks (1) (1?) (1?) (1??), which are interconnected and used as a building block toy, or a random number of blocks (1) (10) (50) are stacked and assembled for observing the movement of a

  • Patent number: 6323607
    Abstract: A horizontal drive circuit for a video display device includes a switching device for switching according to a horizontal oscillation frequency generated by a horizontal oscillator and a surge protector, and a method therefor. A driving transformer has a primary winding connected to the switching means and a secondary winding. The secondary winding provides an amplified current according to the status of the switching device. A diode serves as the surge protection connected between the switching device and the primary winding of the driving transformer.
