  • Publication number: 20240128666
    Abstract: A motherboard includes a circuit board and a connector mounted on the circuit board. The connector comprises a socket and a latch pivotally mounted on one end of the socket. The latch comprises a body, a pressing member connected to one side of the body and extending outward from one side of the body to the outside of the socket, exposing an area from a side of the interface card for finger pressing. The supporting member is connected to another side of the body, and when the pressing member is pressed, it drives the body to pivot and causes the pushing portion to lift the interface card, and the supporting member stop the body from pivoting by resting against the circuit board.

  • Patent number: 8667475
    Abstract: A program-converting module for a multi-axis cooperated machine and a program-converting method. Machining programs and mechanism data of a plurality of first machines are input to a first input module. Mechanism data of a plurality of second machines are input to a second input unit. A setting unit sets at least one of the first machines to be a source machine, and sets one of the second machines to be a target machine. A conversion unit uses a kinematical method to convert the machining program of the source machine into a machining program applicable to the target machine based on the mechanism data of the source and target machines, without requiring CAD/CAM software.

  • Patent number: 8078295
    Abstract: A method for controlling acceleration and deceleration before interpolating is provided. The method includes steps of previewing and analyzing a processing program to estimate a limitation of a processing velocity and distributing a processing velocity according to the limitation. The step of previewing and analyzing a processing program includes sub-steps of providing the processing program including a pathway formed by plural blocks, unitizing the motion vector of each block into the unit vector ( N ^ i = N _ i ? N _ i ? ) , calculating a length (DVi=?{right arrow over (DV)}i?) of a vector difference in the unit vectors between each block and its next block ({right arrow over (DV)}i={circumflex over (N)}i?{circumflex over (N)}i+1), calculating a sum of the length of the vector difference in a distance from a starting block (S=?DVn), and calculating the limitation of the processing velocity for an end of each block (Vlim) according to an inverse ratio of the sum (1/S).
