Adjustable Structures
An adjustable structure (1) comprising a first structural layer (10) defined by a first array of extendable and/or retractable rods or beams (11, 11a, 11b) pivotally connected to each other at their ends and a second structural layer (20) connected to the first structural layer (10) and defined by a second array of extendable and/or retractable rods or beams (21, 21a, 21b) pivotally connected to each other at their ends, wherein at least a portion of the second layer (20) is outside the volume defined by the first structural layer (10) and the extendable and/or retractable rods or beams in the second array are more densely packed than the extendable and/or retractable rods or beams in the first array.
Rotary mechanism with adjustable tone wheel
A rotary mechanism comprises a fastener and a tone wheel. The tone wheel comprises a first radial flange, a second radial flange, a first target, and a second target. The first and second targets mounted respectively to the first and second radial flanges to be sensed by a sensor. Each of the first radial flange and the second radial flange comprises a plurality of mounting points, the plurality of mounting points of the first radial flange and the second radial flange provided for adjustment of a diameter of the tone wheel. The fastener is provided to mount the first radial flange and the second radial flange to a shaft at a selected mounting point among the plurality of mounting points of each of the first radial flange and the second radial flange to set the diameter of the tone wheel. An associated method is disclosed.
