Disclosed is an apparatus for page-pressing and barrier-free page-turning. The apparatus includes page-pressing devices and a placement board. The page-pressing device is capable of switching between a first state and a second state. When the page-pressing device is in the first state, the page-pressing device is capable of tightly pressing against a book page(s) on the placement board. When the page-pressing device is in the second state, the page-pressing device is capable of releasing the press onto the book page(s). The page-pressing device is capable of mechanically self-locking to maintain a contact pressure to the book page(s) when the page-pressing device is in the first state to press against the book page(s), while the power causing the contact pressure no longer exists.

A drive system includes a linear actuator with a drive shaft and having an actuation axis extending along a length of the linear actuator. A motor assembly of the drive system couples to drive shaft and is configured to rotate the drive shaft about the actuation axis of the linear actuator. The drive system further includes a nut attached to the drive shaft and a carrier housing the nut. A linkage system of the drive system extends from a proximal end away from the motor assembly to a distal end. The proximal end of the linkage system rotatably attaches to the carrier at a first proximal attachment location where the first proximal attachment location offset is from the actuation axis. The drive system also includes an output link rotatably coupled to the distal end of the linkage system where the output link is offset from the actuation axis.

An input cam having a recessed track for establishing a desired dwell time for a plurality of rotatable permanent magnets and an output cam having a recessed track for maximizing the harnessing of linear motion energy and to apply the harnessed energy to a rotary output are provided to improve the efficiency of a magnetic transmission.

What is new within this engine in the field of the magnetic engine is that it uses the cylinder chains as the catalyst to make the engine work, by this we mean that the cylinder chains are the workhorse of the engine being that it moves to push down the pistons to turn the crankshaft.

A drive device for a high pressure cleaning appliance includes a motor, the motor shaft of which is rotatably mounted on a motor flange and is coupled to a swash plate arrangement by a planetary gearing, wherein the planetary gearing comprises a sun gear, which is connected to the motor shaft in a rotationally-fixed manner and meshes with planetary gears that are rotatably mounted on a planet carrier and are in engagement with an internally toothed ring gear, and wherein the swash plate arrangement is positioned in an oil housing. So that the drive device has a longer service life and enables a greater selection of materials in the production thereof, the motor flange and the oil housing form separate components, wherein the motor flange comprises the ring gear and the oil housing is fixed to the motor flange, wherein the motor flange forms a centering for the oil housing.

A first driven lever of a vehicle wiper device has a proximal end pivotally connected to a distal end of a first driving lever. A second driven lever has a proximal end pivotally connected to a distal end of the first driven lever and a distal end pivotally connected to a distal end of a second driving lever. A first wiper arm operates integrally with the second driven lever and has a distal end to which a first wiper blade is connected. A swing transmission mechanism transmits a driving force to the first driving lever. The swing transmission mechanism includes a swing crank arm integrally rotatable with a rotation shaft of a single drive source. An extension-contraction transmission mechanism transmits a driving force to the second driving lever. The extension-contraction transmission mechanism includes an extension-contraction crank arm integrally rotatable with the rotation shaft of the drive source.
