An electronic-carrying module (640), for example for use with a seismic data acquisition cable (400), is disclosed. The preferred electronic-carrying module (640) includes, first, an electronics carrier (106) having access means (107) for providing an easy-to-reach access to wrap-around circuitry fitted inside a curved space (104a) within the electronics carrier (106). Second, a pair of rigid end-fittings (102) spaced apart axially by the electronics carrier (106) for connecting to a section of the seismic data acquisition cable (400). And third, an axial hole (100) formed in the electronics carrier (106) and the rigid end-fittings (102) defining the curved space (104a) between the axial hole (100), the access means (107) and the rigid end-fittings (102).

Conformable spring-loaded earloops for over-the-ear style headsets are disclosed. The earloop for a headset generally comprises a prehensile member having a connecting member and a stabilizer portion and a ring integrally formed with and extending from the connecting member. The stabilizer portion is adapted to curve at least partially around and behind an ear to clip onto the ear in substantially a first plane. The ring is configured to removably receive and rotatably secure a receiver capsule of a headset therein and to direct the receiver capsule toward a concha of the ear. The prehensile member and the ring define an open-ended curved space to facilitate donning of the earloop. Upon application of an external force, the stabilizer portion is resiliently adjustable relative to the ring out of the first plane toward and away from the ear and / or in the first plane toward and away from the ring. The stabilizer portion returns to a static resting state configuration upon removal of external forces. The stabilizer portion has a larger cross-sectional dimension than the connecting member to facilitate the connecting member in functioning as a hinge for resiliently adjusting the stabilizer portion. The earloop further provides for adjusting the height between a center of the ring and the point along an interior surface of the stabilizer portion that rests upon the apex of the ear when worn. At least some of the inner portion of the stabilizer portion may be an elastomeric material.

The invention relates to a space truss catching mechanism having foldable and bent functions. The mechanism comprises a base and a plurality of foldable and bent truss mechanisms arranged on the base,each truss mechanism comprises N (larger than or equal to 2 of the N) folding and unfolding units which are sequentially connected with one another; each folding and unfolding unit comprises two triangular frames which are arranged in parallel, and each triangular frame comprise a roller shaft and two side edges; the two parallel side edges of the same folding and unfolding unit are connected through a 3R branched chain, and two parallel roller shafts are connected through a scissor fork mechanism; the triangular frames of the bottoms of the Nth (smaller than or equal to N and less than or equal to N of the N) folding and unfolding units and the triangular frames of the tops of the N-1 folding and unfolding units are provided with the common roller shaft, the two side edges at the bottomof the Nth folding and unfolding units rotate around the common roller shaft under the driving of a bending driving device, so that the plurality of truss mechanisms are close to one another; and thefolding and unfolding units are unfolded or folded under the driving of a folding and unfolding driving device installed on the base. According to the mechanism, the truss mechanisms can be bent and unfolded at the same time, is especially suitable for grabbing tasks of large non-cooperative targets in a space environment.

A rotor and cage assembly includes a skeleton of curved spaced-apart side members affixed to laterally extending upper and lower spaced-apart members therebetween and surrounding the rotor. One of the curved spaced-apartside members is terminated with curved fingers. Three concave inserts insert laterally into the skeleton spanning 270° around the rotor. One of the concave inserts carries straight fingers that interlace between the skeleton side member curved fingers. A control assembly of plates having arcuate slots placed at 3 of the pivots of the skeleton assembly, control bars connected to the skeleton pivots, and an actuator connect to the control bars at one end effect arcuate rotation of the control bars resulting in the synchronized rotation of the arcuate slotted plates so that the interlaced straight fingers move closer together or farther apart with the fixed skeleton assembly curved fingers for different types of grain.

A buckling up phalanges joints type button input device and method use features that the phalanges joints can bend. A curved surface button input panel is installed inside sheathing. A curved surface mobile panel is installed corresponding to a curved surface of the button input panel, so as to form a curved space between the button input panel and the mobile panel. Fingers can stretch inside the curved space to operate buttons following an angle of the curved space. When either the curved surface mobile panel or the button input panel move, the curved space will become narrowed or extended. Once the curved space become narrowed, the phalanges joints will be locked on a turning point of the curved space due to a length of the fingers, so that the fingers cannot draw out. Thereby the phalanges joints will be locked if error data is inputted.

The invention mainly discloses a retractable gymnasium roof with an ultra large curved space and a control method thereof. A large multi-point hydraulically-actuated hoister is used for pulling the movable roof to realize the retraction and the extension of the roof, the movable roof is supported and driven to move by trolleys mounted on a main arch track of the gymnasium, the hoister pulls the movable roof under the control of a central control system to enable the roof to move along the main arch track so as to complete the inward retraction or the outward extension of the roof, and the position and the height of each support trolley is adjusted according to the relative design height and the lateral deviation extent of the gymnasium arch in the moving process of each trolley so as to ensure the smooth slippage of the roof and the integral structural safety of the gymnasium. By establishing a secure foundation based on a mechanical model and realizing technical breakthrough in multiple aspects of construction, structure, machinery and control, the invention ensures the safe, smooth and long-time movement of the movable gymnasium roof.

The present invention provides a device for detecting the positions of bolt mounting holes, which is used for detecting the correctness of positions of the bolt mounting holes distributed on curved faces of two parts assembled by bolts. The device comprises a curved plate, wherein the curved plate is consistent with the space curved face of the distribution positions of the bolt mounting holes on the parts; a position on a concave surface of the curved plate, which corresponds to at least one bolt mounting hole, is provided with a fixed end cone; positions on the concave surface, which correspond to the rest of bolt mounting holes on the part, are provided with via holes correspondingly one by one and also provided with movable end cones matched with the via holes one by one; the aperture of the via holes is larger than that of the fixed end cone, and the size of the fixed end cone and the movable end cones is equivalent to the size of the bolts for connecting the two parts. The invention can conveniently detect the positions of the bolt mounting holes on the assembled parts with curved space structures, and has the advantages of reasonable design, simple technology, easy manufacture, convenient use, and the like.

A space curving model demonstrator utilizes warping of a rubber membrane to vividly analog a curved space caused by gravity, and simulates and demonstrates difference between ball body moving trajectories when a moving ball body passes through a flat space without a gravitational field and a curved space with a gravitational field respectively, so as to show the existence of the gravitational field, that is, the space around the gravitational field is curved. The space curving model demonstrator has the advantages of simple structure, convenient operation, high visibility, visual and obvious phenomenon, low cost, safe demonstration, durable property, and easy popularization.
