  • Publication number: 20070137353
    Abstract: A torque limitation device in a retarding mechanism includes a worm shaft engaged with a worm gear in a gear case and operated by a motor. The worm gear is pressed by an elastic adjustment assembly and indirectly rotates a transmission shaft which actuates the entire machine to work. When the transmission shaft is obstructed or in a rough rotation to cause an torque increasing, the worm shaft and the worm gear are immediately begin an idle running and the worm gear become slippery with the transmission shaft so as to prevent the motor from damaged for overloading.

    Abstract: A method of automatic program installation for a computer device is disclosed, which detects an optical disk containing driver programs of input/output devices of the computer device and displays a setup menu to allow a computer user to select the desired driver programs. The following steps are then proceeded: determining the operating system of the computer; performing driver program installation execution file of the operating system and reading the contents of an installation bootstrap file; executing the driver program associated with the computer chipset contained in the installation bootstrap file; and sequentially installing the driver programs contained in the installation bootstrap file. During the installation, it is automatically determined if re-booting of the computer is required. If it is, then the computer is re-booted when necessary and the installation process continues thereafter to have the process completely done.
