IPC: H04N5/74
Filed: 2008-04-28
Abstract: One embodiment of the invention discloses projector circuit boards comprising an image receiving terminal, a central processing unit, a motor driving module, a DMD and a DMD control module. The image receiving terminal receives an image signal and transmits the received image signal to the central processing unit. The central processing unit processes the received image signal. The motor driving module drives a motor on the basis of the processed image signal to rotate a color wheel to generate a colored beam. The DMD, comprising a plurality of micro-mirrors, is used in reflecting the colored beam, transforming the colored beam into an image beam, and transmitting the image beam to a projection lens to project an image. The rotation angles of the micro-mirrors are controlled by the DMD control module coupled between the central processing unit and the DMD. The projector circuit board is perpendicular to a light path of the projection lens.

Abstract: A hydroelectric system (10) converts kinetic energy from water flowing off a roof (12) of a building (14) into electrical energy (18). The system (10) comprises a turbine (16) having a rotor (18) and a generator (19) disposed in a down pipe (20). The down pipe (20) has an upper end (22) that receives water running off the roof (14) via gutters (28). The down pipe (20) comprises channels (24a and 24b) that extend from the upper end (22) to respective outlets (26a and 26b). Each of the outlets (26a and 26b) direct water onto the rotor (18) causing rotation in the same direction. The channels (24a and 24b) are configured in a manner so that water entering the down pipe (20) initially flows through the channel (24a) and out from the outlet (26a). However in a heavy downpour the channel (24a) may overflow into the channel (24b) to subsequently flow out the outlet (24b) providing further drive to the rotor (18).

Title: Automatic transmission for vehicle
Inventor: SUGIURA NOBUTADA
IPC: F16H3/66
Filed: 2001-01-10
Abstract: A compact automatic transmission (1) for a vehicle capable of preventing relative rotation between shift elements from increasing. A planetary gear unit (5) is provided with a sun gear (S1) to which rotation of an input shaft (2) is input, a carrier (CR1) that can be stopped from rotating, and a ring gear (R1) for outputting, to a planetary gear set (6), reduced rotation that is reduced relative to that of the input shaft (2). A clutch (C-3) is connected/disconnected, the input shaft (2) and the sun gear (S1) are appropriately connected/disconnected, and the carrier (CR1) is appropriately stopped/unstopped by a brake (B-1) and a one-way clutch (F-1). This prevents relative rotation of the gear unit (5) that deals with no shifting operation between shift elements from excessively increasing. When the clutch (C-3) is disposed between the input shaft (2) and the sun gear (S1), the capacity of the clutch (C-3) can be reduced compared with the case where it is disposed between the gear unit (5) and the gear set (6). Therefore the clutch (C-3) can be formed into a compact structure. Accordingly, the automatic transmission (1) can be made compact.
