  • Publication number: 20120112567
    Abstract: A motor assembly includes a working part, a synchronous motor having a shaft, and a mechanical coupling joining the working part to the motor. The coupling has two driving teeth fixed relative to the shaft, two driven teeth fixed relative to the working part, and two middle members. The coupling provides a predetermined range of angular movement between the motor and the working part. The middle members are circumferentially distributed between the two driving teeth and between the two driven teeth, thereby each of the middle members is movable by the driving teeth to contact the driven teeth and provides an interference between a driving tooth and a driven tooth to drive the working part.

  • Publication number: 20120063839
    Abstract: A foldable trampoline connector includes two connecting pieces hinged to each other. A working surface of a connecting piece is at an inclination complementary to that of another connecting piece. Each connecting piece has a through hole disposed vertically to and on a same axis of its working surface. Both through holes are pivoted to each other with a fastening bolt. The connector solves the problem of chamfering collision by two folding points of both connectors at both extremes of the folding line since a turning axis of both connectors and that of a mobile frame tube are not on the same straight line when a circular jumping bed of the prior art is folded on a semicircular folding line.

  • Patent number: 8050342
    Abstract: Method and apparatus for receiving coded signals with the aid of CSI are provided. The method comprises: performing channel estimation to obtain a CFR estimation vector; computing a squared magnitude of the CFR estimation vector, and obtaining a normalization factor ? by averaging the squared magnitudes of CFR estimations on all N subcarriers; finding a norm-shift operand m satisfying the condition that ?0=2m is a power of 2 number closest to the normalization factor ?; performing a CSI-aided one-tap channel equalization on an output signal vector from a DFT processor by using the norm-shift operand m; performing constellation demapping; and performing channel decoding. The method further comprises obtaining a weighting factor vector by right shifting m bits of the squared magnitude of the CFR estimation vector so that the constellation demapping can use the weighted decision boundary values in case that its input signal is sensitive to both amplitude and phase.
