Publication number: 20120299424Abstract: A transmission shaft is disposed between a driving device and at least one driven device. At least one centrifugal device is disposed on the transmission shaft. The centrifugal device generates a centrifugal force and applies an inertia affect formed by the centrifugal force to the transmission shaft, so as to drive the transmission shaft to rotate. Energy generated by the driven device is greater than energy consumed when the driving device drives the driven device, thereby effectively reducing the consumption of earth resources and effectively solving a problem of earth environmental protection.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 22, 2012Publication date: November 29, 2012Applicant: SHEN YANG TECHNOLOGIES ENTERPRISE CO., LTD.Inventors: Hui Yen TSAI, Wen-Lon CHENG, Chiu-Rong FAN, Tien CHUANG

Patent number: 6458009Abstract: A fishing toy comprising a fishing tool and a fishing target. A motor capable of sinking in water is installed in the fishing target. A battery seat, a bait biting actuation means, a swinging means; a movable switch triggered by absorption is installed in the bait biting actuation means for conducting the motor to drive the swinging means to swing. The swinging means is installed by a decelerating gear on a rotary shaft of the motor and a push plate driven by an eccentric wheel. The fishing target is an aquatic animal or amphibian, such as a frog, with a body and four movable limbs. A front end of each limb is connected to the push plate of the swinging means. Thereby, as the fishing target is fished on a hook of a fish rod, the limbs of the fishing target present a vivid action. Thus, the applications of the products are increased and the present invention can be used in many aquatic animals or amphibians.Type: GrantFiled: June 7, 2000Date of Patent: October 1, 2002Inventor: Chuan-Tien Chuang

Patent number: 6022025Abstract: A fishing toy including a fishing tackle and a toy fish. When the fishing line is wound on a line-winding mechanism of the fishing tackle to the end, the line-winding mechanism will idle to protect the fishing line and the fishing rod. When a switch is switched on, a motor in the toy fish is rotated to drive a swinging mechanism and a linking mechanism, whereby the toy fish can slowly swing and swim in the water with the lower jaw slowly opening and closing. When a magnetic bait attracts and attaches to the bite triggering mechanism, the fish tail and the lower jaw swing more violently so as to create a live effect both when the toy fish is in the water and after it is gaffed.Type: GrantFiled: September 24, 1998Date of Patent: February 8, 2000Inventor: Chuan-Tien Chuang

Patent number: 5777571Abstract: A remove control device that has voice recognition and user ID restriction functions equipped with a receiver is provided. The device includes a radio frequency (RF) receiving circuit, a demodulator, a voice input control device, an analog to digital conversion signal control unit, a buffer, a memory, a voice recognition processing unit, an instruction verification device, and an output control device. When the receiver is in a voice training mode, the signal characteristics of the voice command from the user can be stored in a memory. When the receiver is in an instruction execution mode, the receiver receives signals transmitted from the emitter, recognizes and compares the signal with the original signal stored in the memory during the voice training mode and determine if it is from an authorized user. Only after the identification matches the instruction verification device that verifies the received instruction, the output control device outputs a corresponding control signal.Type: GrantFiled: October 2, 1996Date of Patent: July 7, 1998Assignee: Holtek Microelectronics, Inc.Inventor: Chen-Tien Chuang
