  • Patent number: 9707441
    Abstract: A lifting and folding mechanism for treadmill includes a base, a platform, a lifting mechanism, and a linkage mechanism. An armrest rack and a control panel are assembled at the base. A front end of the platform is pivotally assembled with the armrest rack. The lifting mechanism includes a supporting rack and a driving device. One end of the supporting rack is pivotally assembled with the platform, and the driving device is connected between the supporting rack and the platform for driving the supporting rack abutting against the ground, so that the platform is lifted and the slope of the platform is changed. The linkage mechanism is connected to the base and the platform. The linkage mechanism is in a connection state or a disconnection state. In the connection state, the base is connected with the platform, and the base is lifted upward with the lifting of the platform.

  • Patent number: 9259609
    Abstract: An exercise bike includes a frame, a driving member, two sun gears, two swing arms, two planet gears, and two cranks. The driving member is assembled to the frame and has a shaft extending from two sides of the frame. The two sun gears, the two swing arms, the two planet gears, and the two cranks are respectively assembled to the two sides of the frame. For each set, the crank drives the planet gear to rotate so as to drive the swing arm to rotate the shaft, and the planet gear is rotated around the sun gear. Accordingly, a pedal connected to each of the cranks moves around the axis of the corresponding planet gear.

  • Patent number: 7796195
    Abstract: A circuit for eliminating abnormal sound includes a video/audio processor, a D/A converter, a front-stage mute circuit, a changing delay device, a front-stage amplifier, a back-stage amplifier, a back-stage mute circuit, and a micro control unit. The circuit is mounted in a display device connected to a DVD player. When DVD player plays the video/audio signal having HDMI standard, the display device will generate an abnormal sound (pop voice or declining voice) during performing an operation such as pause, stop or play. Therefore, this circuit uses the changing delay device, the micro control unit, and the mute circuit to filter out the noise for providing a better outputting quality.

  • Patent number: 7508355
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a method applied on displays for recognizing video signal timing of analog input. The present invention employs the horizontal-synchronized-signal interrupt value to distinguish among its inputted video signal timing, allowing to recognize its pixel and correctly display its corresponding video signal timing even when the inputted signal timings share the same horizontal frequency, vertical frequency, and polarity. In case when the display is displaying incorrect video signal timing, the present invention also allows inputting a switch signal to adjust its display mode accordingly, enabling the display to show the correct resolution of the video signal timing under normal operation.
