Abstract: A sewing machine includes a main body and a quick release needle plate module. The main body includes a base seat having an inner frame, and an outer case that is mounted to the inner frame and that defines an accommodating compartment. The quick release needle plate module includes a catch member, and a needle plate that covers the accommodating compartment, that is detachably pivoted to a rear section of the inner frame, and that engages the catch member. The quick release needle plate module further includes a press member inserted through the outer case and the inner frame, and operable to push the catch member to disengage the catch member. The needle plate has a plate body that covers the accommodating compartment, and a resilient member mounted between the inner frame and the plate body for driving pivot action of the plate body away from the inner frame.

Abstract: A displacement sensing system is disclosed. Two image capturing devices are settled at to opposite ends of a coordinate axis of the planar area, respectively, for capturing images of the planar area and an object placed thereon. Four pre-established LUT databases and an interactive four-matrix lookup table process are implemented to determine actual coordinates of the object on in the planar area.

Abstract: A service method for real time information compares surrounding information provided by a transportation with conditional factors established in a database. A service center provides the real time information that conforming to the conditional factors to the transportation. Thence the transportation could respectively present the real time information on a multimedia display unit installed thereon. Whereby, the service center provides a corresponding real time information in accordance with the provided surrounding data around the transportation, and introduces the concept of time and region separation to preferably supply proper real time information to different users.

Abstract: A system integrating machine vision, interactive module and rehabilitation equipment primarily comprises a rehabilitation equipment, at least one image-capture device for continuously capturing images of specific limbs or a trunk of a user operating the rehabilitation equipment so as to generate digital image data, and a machine vision recognition unit for processing the digital image data into characteristic image data that can be analyzed and applied by a host computer belonging to the machine vision recognition unit. Then, the host computer can transform the characteristic image data into direction signals and velocity signals with respect to movements of the user's limbs and trunk and afterward output the signals to an interactive module.

Abstract: The present invention discloses a dual-shaft hinge module for an interactive training apparatus. The dual-shaft hinge module comprises a first shaft assembly and a second shaft assembly, which orthogonally intersect and are positioned at a shaft seat. The first shaft assembly and the second shaft assembly can be controlled by a main post to rotated clockwise or anticlockwise against axes thereof. A first sensing and the second sensing units sense rotational directions and angles of the first and the second shaft assemblies to generate signals accordingly. The signals are then transmitted to an interactive device.
