  • Publication number: 20210193403
    Abstract: A control device capable of providing rotational damping through an elastic force is provided directly at the base of an electronic product and includes an adjusting member and an elastic member. The adjusting member is rotatably provided at the base. The adjusting member has a bottom portion corresponding to a switch provided in the base. The adjusting member further has a head portion outside the base. The elastic member is provided between the adjusting member and the base. The elastic force of the elastic member acts between the head portion of the adjusting member and the base to change the rotational damping to which the adjusting member is subjected.

  • Patent number: 10928837
    Abstract: In one embodiment, an aircraft includes one or more first wings configured to produce lift in a first direction when the aircraft is moving in a second direction that is substantially perpendicular to the first direction. The first wings may also produce a centripetal force when the aircraft is banking while moving in the second direction. The aircraft may also include one or more second wings affixed and oriented substantially perpendicular to the first wings and configured to produce a counter force in a third direction that is substantially perpendicular to both the first direction and the second direction. The counter force may reduce the centripetal force when the aircraft is banking.

  • Publication number: 20200248868
    Abstract: A grease pumping device includes a pump body, a driving mechanism, a plunger pair, a reversing valve and a lever mechanism. A switching action between each valve position of a valve core of the reversing valve is driven by the lever mechanism. An output rotating shaft drives a toggle member rotating therewith, and when the output rotating shaft rotates reciprocally in forward and reverse directions, the toggle member toggles the lever mechanism in the forward and reverse directions, such that the lever mechanism swings reciprocally. At least one of the lever mechanism and the toggle member is an elastic structure, when the output rotating shaft rotates, the toggle member contacts the lever mechanism and drives the valve core to operate, when the valve core is switched to a corresponding valve position, the toggle member and the lever mechanism slide relatively by elastic deformation of the elastic structure.

  • Patent number: 7956806
    Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for orienting an antenna in a communications system on a mobile platform to orient a peak of the antenna pattern in a direction associated with a signal source. A signal from a signal source is received at the antenna. A signal strength is measured from the received signal. A signal strength and a misalignment of the antenna along at least one axis are predicted according to a previous estimate of the signal strength, a previous estimate of the misalignment of the antenna, an estimated change in the signal strength, and a known change in the antenna orientation. The predicted signal strength and misalignment of the antenna are updated according to the measured signal strength to provide an estimate of a current misalignment of the antenna. The orientation of the peak of the antenna pattern is adjusted according to the estimated current misalignment of the antenna.
