    Abstract: A system and a method for analyzing biomechanics. The biomechanics analyzing system for analyzing a motion state of an organism includes a detecting unit, a low-pass filter, a high-pass filter and a processing unit. The detecting unit disposed on a surface of a muscle of the organism detects an acceleration signal. The low-pass filter filters the acceleration signal to produce a low-frequency signal. The high-pass filter filters the acceleration signal to produce a high-frequency signal. The processing unit analyzes a motion posture or a motion frequency of the motion state of the organism according to the low-frequency signal, and analyzes a motion strength of the motion state of the organism according to the high-frequency signal.

  • Publication number: 20110286208
    Abstract: A light source assembly mechanism includes two sets installed at two ends of an LED lamp tube. Each light source assembly mechanism includes a base, a lamp tube side cap, a turning module side cap and a turning rod. The lamp tube side cap has one side fastened to one end of the LED lamp tube and another side running through the base via a fastening portion to fasten to a coupling portion formed on the turning module side cap. The turning rod runs through the turning module side cap to fasten to the lamp tube side cap. With the same modular elements used at two sides of the LED lamp tube, mold development cost can be reduced, and assembly processes can be simplified. Through turning the turning rod, illumination angle of the LED lamp tube can be adjusted to meet illumination requirements.

  • Patent number: 7915128
    Abstract: A transistor suitable for high-voltage applications and a method of manufacture is provided. A first device is formed by depositing a dielectric layer and a conductive layer over a substrate. A hard mask is deposited over the conductive layer and patterned using photolithography techniques. The photoresist material is removed prior to etching the underlying conductive layer and dielectric layer. The hard mask is also used as an implant mask. Another mask may be deposited and formed over the conductive layer to form other devices in other regions of the substrate. The other mask is preferably removed from over the hard mask prior to etching the conductive layer and the dielectric layer.

  • Patent number: 7830634
    Abstract: In a method of head-disk contact detection in a hard disk drive, a Radio Frequency (RF) carrier signal is injected into a slider which is flying above a surface of a disk in a hard disk drive. A modulated version of the RF carrier signal is received from the slider. The modulated version of the RF carrier signal is demodulated to achieve a demodulated signal. A signal spectrum of a range of frequencies in the demodulated signal is monitored for activity indicative of a contact between a head of the slider and the surface of the disk. An occurrence of the contact is determined based upon an occurrence of the activity.
