Abstract: A transmission for a motor, which gives a normal rotation and constant speed output to an output cover when a driving shaft of the motor rotates in a normal direction and a normal rotation and speed-changed output to the output cover when the driving shaft of the motor rotates in a reverse direction, is provided. Interference caused by a reverse input can be prevented although rotation is reversely input from the output cover. The driving shaft includes a polygonal outer circumference; a ball-mounting ring is coupled to the outer circumference, the ball-mounting ring including, therein a constant speed ball and a speed changing ball spaced apart from each other by a predetermined distance so that upper and lower sides of them protrude; and the ball-mounting ring is frictionally fixed by an additionally fixed friction pin.

Abstract: A transmission is adapted to have a deceleration structure while generating an output in the same direction as when a motive power is rotated forwardly when the motive power is rotated reversely. The transmission includes a motor, an output cover, fixed shafts, and a transmission. The transmission is selectively connected according to the rotational direction of the driving shaft. The transmission provides a constant speed output in the forward direction since the driving shaft and the output cover are directly connected to each other when the driving shaft is rotated forwardly, but provides a decelerated output in the forward direction since a reduction planetary gear is geared between the driving shaft and the output cover when the driving shaft is rotated reversely.

Abstract: The present invention relates to an apparatus for automatically locking and unlocking a vehicle seat belt, which automatically locks and unlocks seat belts of a driver seat and a passenger seat of a vehicle. The apparatus includes: a first housing 10; a second housing 20; a belt-locking bar 40 having one end coupled to a hinge portion 30 provided at the center of a connection portion between the first and second housings 10 and 20; a movable block 61; a retractor 50; a chest protecting belt 60 having one end connected to the movable block 61; an abdomen protecting belt 70; and a controller 100 for controlling the rotation of the belt-locking bar 40. According to the present invention, the seat belt is automatically locked at the time of a start of a vehicle engine without being manually worn by a driver or a passenger getting in the vehicle.

Abstract: A transmission for use in an electrically-driven bicycle and/or a scooter is disclosed, in which the transmission coupled with a motor is embedded together with the motor in a hub of a rear or front wheel. According to the transmission and a transmission method, the power generated from the motor or a pedal is outputted through a transmission device to a hub shell of the wheel. The output of the motor or other output of the motor which is subject to a reduction unit is used as the input of the transmission device. The ring gear and the hub shell are connected to each other with an output pawl, so that the power cannot be reversely inputted when the hub shell is rotated with a higher speed than the ring gear.

The transmission includes: a motor having a driving shaft; an output cover adapted to surround the outside of the motor and rotated by receiving a rotational force of the motor; fixed shafts adapted to extend toward both sides of the output cover; and a transmission formed between the driving shaft and the output cover. The transmission is selectively connected according to the rotational direction of the driving shaft to thereby provide an output at a constant speed or a reduced speed only in a predetermined direction.

Abstract: A coding technique for achieving a maximum diversity gain in a wireless communication system having a transmitter for transmitting data on a fading channel through a plurality of transmit antennas and a receiver for receiving the data through a plurality of receive antennas. In the coding technique, P mth-order sub-rotated vectors {right arrow over (r)}i are generated by constellation-rotating an Lth-order input vector {right arrow over (x)} including a plurality of input symbols modulated in at least one modulation scheme. m pth-order sub-vectors {right arrow over (u)}i are generated using the sub-rotated vectors {right arrow over (r)}i. Codeword matrices Ai({right arrow over (u)}i) are generated by performing orthogonal space-time block coding on the sub-vectors {right arrow over (u)}i and then transmitted through the transmit antennas.
