Abstract: Examples of techniques for molding molded components are described herein. In an example, a molding apparatus for molding a molded component includes a first mold-half comprising a mold-facing surface, and a slider member mounted on the first mold-half and movable substantially along the mold-facing surface. The first mold-half and the slider member can form a part of a mold cavity therebetween. Further, the molding apparatus includes a second mold-half to cooperate with the first mold-half to complete the mold cavity with the first mold-half and the slider member. The slider member is movable to modify a draft angle provided in the mold cavity.

Abstract: The present subject matter relates to carbon fiber composites. A method to form a polymer carbon fiber composite includes subjecting two sheets of carbon fibers to an insert molding mold, such that one sheet is secured at a cavity side of the insert molding mold and another sheet is secured at a core side of the insert molding mold. The method further includes insert molding a polymer between the two sheets of carbon fibers to form the polymer carbon fiber composite, wherein the polymer sets between the two sheets of carbon fibers to form a sandwich structure of the polymer carbon fiber composite, and wherein the polymer is in contact with the two sheets of carbon fibers.

Abstract: Various examples provide a mold including a molding component and a supplementary component. The molding component may have a cavity, to enable a molten material to fill into the molding component to form an object. The supplementary component may include a bypass having a first opening located at a first position of the molding component and a second opening located at a second position of the molding component. The molten material may flow from the first position to the second position via the molding component, flow from the first opening to the second opening via the bypass and fill into the second position of the molding component through the second opening.

Abstract: An assisting force control device for use in a bicycle with an electric motor and a crankshaft includes a driving member coupled co-rotatably to the crankshaft, a strain sensor disposed on the driving member, a torque calculation unit coupled to the strain sensor for calculating and outputting a torque signal, a rotational speed detection unit mounted on the crankshaft for outputting a rotational speed detecting signal, and a control unit. The control unit includes a receiving module for receiving the rotational speed detecting signal and the torque signal, and a processing module coupled to the receiving module for generating a force control signal to control the electric motor accordingly.

Abstract: The invention is to provide a paper feeding apparatus and a driving method thereof for an office machine. The office machine includes a paper accommodating device and a paper processing apparatus. The paper accommodating device is for accommodating paper sheets to be processed by the paper processing apparatus. The paper feeding apparatus is for feeding the paper sheets accommodated by the paper accommodating device one by one to the paper processing apparatus. The paper feeding apparatus includes a pickup roller, a delivery roller, a pair of feeding rollers, a detection device, a transmission gear assembly, a drive motor and a controller. The detection device detects a leading edge and a trailing edge of the paper sheet delivered by the paper feeding apparatus. In particular, the paper feeding apparatus is a simple-configuration, light-weight and compact component and capable of feeding paper sheets accurately.

Abstract: A paper feeding mechanism with a separator and paper blocking mechanisms. When feeding paper, a lift plate carrying paper is moved up to allow a pick-up roller and the separator to move one sheet from the lift plate. After feeding paper, the lift plate is lowered away from the pick-up roller, and the paper blocking mechanism pushes excess paper back to the lift plate.

Abstract: A paper accommodating assembly for an office machine is provided in the invention. The paper accommodating assembly includes a first paper accommodating device for accommodating paper sheets to be processed by the office machine and a second paper accommodating device for accommodating paper sheets being processed by the office machine. In particular, feeding path of the paper sheets accommodated by the second paper accommodating device is established or blocked in response to the movement of the first paper accommodating device. The paper accommodating assembly of the invention can reduce space occupied by the office machine and avoid paper jam due to the closing of the first paper accommodating device.

Abstract: A single-button support mechanism is provided to improve a turning means joining an upper portion and a body of a device. The support mechanism constructs a pivot and a holding groove at the upper portion and, at the body, a cam trough, a button groove, and another groove for accommodating a retaining member to further hold a first spring. The cam is formed as saw type teeth at a peripheral thereof, and each tooth of the cam has a notch engageable with a position button. By applying the single-button support mechanism, the turning means can utilize the cam moving in the cam trough for engaging with the upper portion at a selected angle, and utilize the position button movable in the button groove for controlling the opening or closing of the upper portion.
