A first barricade is connected to the first moldboard. The maximum vertical distance from the first barricade to the first moldboard exceeds that from the first cutter to the first moldboard. A second moldboard is opposite the first moldboard. The first and second moldboards move with respect to each other. A second cutter is connected to the second moldboard and corresponds to the first cutter. A second barricade is connected to the second moldboard and detachably abuts the first barricade.

Abstract: In audio/video (AV) capture, two video streaming adapters (VSAs) receive an original input video signal and a compressed input video signal respectively to generate an uncompressed video streaming and a compressed video streaming respectively. The uncompressed video streaming and the compressed video streaming are transmitted to an external device by way of time division duplex. An interlock mechanism prevents concurrent transmission of the uncompressed video streaming and the compressed video streaming, so that the loss of real-time video streaming is reduced.

Abstract: A moving module and an electronic device are provided. The electronic device includes a first body, a second body, and the moving module disposed between the first and second bodies. The moving module includes a rail, a moving element, and an elastic element. The moving element is in contact with the rail. The elastic element is connected between the moving element and the first body. When the moving element moves from a first end of the rail to a curved portion of the rail, a force exerted on the elastic element by the moving element is gradually increased. When the moving element passes the curved portion, an elastic restoration force of the elastic element drives the moving element to move toward a second end of the rail. When the moving element reaches the first end or the second end, the first body and the second body interfere with each other.

When the plug is coupled with the first connecting member by a magnetic force, the second body is slidable relative to the first body. When the second body is tilted up to decouple the plug from the first connecting member, the plug interferes the moving module, so that the second body is not slidable relative to the first body.
