  • Publication number: 20130145591
    Abstract: A pressing disc for disassembling bearings includes three arc members each has a clamp portion and a through hole on each of two sides thereof. The three arc members are coupled with each other to allow any one through hole of any one arc member to communicate with the opposing through hole of the neighboring arc member to form a channel. The three clamp portions are connected with each other to form a clamp space. The pressing disc also has three penetrating rods respectively running through the channel. Each penetrating rod has one set of fastening member to push the arc members close to each other to shrink the clamp space. Thus a bearing placed in the clamp space can be firmly clamped through the three clamp portions from three pressing directions without slipping during disassembly.

  • Patent number: 8289396
    Abstract: A wireless data transmitted method is disclosed. Firstly, a carrier block is displayed. Then, color of the displayed carrier block is modulated in accordance with data to be transmitted. The data is transmitted by capturing an image of the displayed carrier block. The captured carrier block is recognized and the color thereof is calibrated. Finally, the transmitted data is obtained by demodulating the color of the captured carrier block.

  • Patent number: 8252464
    Abstract: A method of forming battery grids or plates that includes the step of mechanically reshaping or refinishing battery grid wires to improve adhesion between the battery paste and the grid wires. The method is particularly useful in improving the past adhesion to battery grids formed by a continuous batter grid making process (such as strip expansion, strip stamping, continuous casting) that produces grid wires and nodes with smooth surfaces and rectangular cross-section. In a preferred version of the method, the grid wires of battery grids produced by a stamping process are deformed such that the grid wires have a cross-section other than the rectangular cross-section produced by the stamping process. The method increases the cycle life of a battery.

  • Publication number: 20100212177
    Abstract: A hair dryer has a casing, a switch, a blower, a mounting cylinder and a heating coil. The casing is hollow and has at least one air inlet and an air outlet. The switch is mounted on the casing. The blower is mounted in the casing and connects to the switch. The mounting cylinder is heat-resistant and insulating and is mounted in the casing. The heating coil having at least one first segment and at least one second segment is mounted around the mounting cylinder, wherein the two segments are wrapped in different directions. When the hair dryer is activated, magnetic fields resulted from the electrified heating coil and the motor tend to partially cancel each other. Therefore, the electromagnetic energy near the air outlet is reduced.

  • Publication number: 20100123566
    Abstract: A bicycle meter assembly with locating function includes a sensor module and a receiver module. The sensor module includes a microprocessor, a sensing unit, a display unit, a keypad, an encoder, and a wireless transceiver. The receiver module includes a wireless receiver, a decoder, and a warning unit. The sensor module and the receiver module are separately installed on a bicycle at two selected positions. The sensor module senses and displays traveling information and user's body signals that are generated when the bicycle is moving. When the user wants to locate the bicycle being parked at a selected place, the keypad can be pressed to generate a call signal, which is sent to the receiver module for the warning unit to emit a warning signal.
