    Abstract: A linear guideway with an embedded sensor includes a track, a slider, a plurality of rolling members, and a sensing module. The track extends in a first direction and has a first recess. The slider can move in the first direction and include a second recess, a channel, at least one hole, and a deforming region. The channel is formed by coupling the first recess and the second recess, and extends in the first direction. The hole extends from the surface of the slider along the insertion axis and into the slider. The rolling members are disposed in the channel. The sensing module is disposed in the hole, and contacts the deforming region to detect the amount of deformation.

    Abstract: A ball screw with force sensor in radial direction including a screw rod, a screw nut, a plurality of balls, and a force sensor is provided. The screw nut has a cavity. The cavity is extended along a radial direction from an outer surface of the screw nut. The force sensor is disposed in the cavity of the screw nut, and the force sensor includes a stationary base and an elastic component. The stationary base includes a displacement restraint, and the elastic component includes a contact end and a fixed end. The displacement restraint is coupled to the cavity to prevent the stationary base from being displaced in the radial direction for fixing stationary base firmly in the cavity. The fixed end is connected to the stationary base, and the contact end contacts a bottom surface of the cavity in order to sense a force along the radial direction.

    Abstract: A tire positioning method includes the following steps. Four wireless signals transmitted from four tires of a car are received by a wireless signal receiver. Each wireless signal includes a uniaxial acceleration. One of the tires which is located at a first location is identified according to the intensity of the wireless signals. The first location is the closest to the wireless signal receiver. When the car makes a turn, one of the tires which is located at a second location is identified according to the direction of each uniaxial acceleration. The second location and the first location are both located at one side of the car. The direction of the uniaxial acceleration of the tire which is located at the first location is identical to that of the tire which is at the second location. The side of the car is right side or left side.

    Abstract: A multi-axis force sensor including a central portion, an outer ring portion, and at least one sensing portion disposed along an axial direction of an axis is provided. The sensing portion includes a first and a second elements connected with each other, and at least one first and at least one second strain gauges. A first end surface of the first element is connected to the central portion, and a second end surface of the second element is connected to the outer ring portion. A normal vector of the first end surface is parallel to the axis and the axis passes through a centroid of the first end surface. When the first end surface is subjected to an axial force, a first strain of a first sensing region of the first element in the axial direction is smaller than a second strain of a second sensing region of the second element in the axial direction. When the first end surface is subjected to a first torque with respect to the axis, a first twist angle of the first sensing region with respect to the axis is greater than a second twist angle of the second sensing region with respect to the axis.

    Abstract: A ball screw with tilt detector includes a screw rod, two screw nuts, a channel, a plurality of balls, and a tilt detector. The screw rod is extended along a direction of an axis. The two screw nuts are installed on the screw rod and capable of moving along the axis. The tilt detector is disposed between the two screw nuts to detect a tilt angle and a preload of the two screw nuts. The tilt detector includes a force receiving element, at least one first strain sensor, and at least one second strain sensor. The force receiving element includes a point symmetric ring-type structure, and the ring-type structure has two planes which are parallel to each other and respectively contact the two screw nuts.

    Abstract: An interaction force detection apparatus includes a sensor, a driving element, a moving element, and a connecting element. The connecting element is connected to the driving element and the sensor. The driving element is adapted to interact with the moving element, so as to generate a pair of forces. The pair of forces includes a first force and a second force, and a magnitude of the first force is equal to that of the second force. The sensor detects the first force exerted on the driving element, and the second force is exerted on the moving element to generate a movement.

    Abstract: An apparatus with two anchors including a housing, a movable element, and a rotary element is provided. The housing includes a first expansion unit, a second expansion unit, and a linkage. First alignment structures are disposed in the movable element and anti-rotation structures are disposed in the linkage. When the movable element and the rotary element enter the housing from two ends and are coupled along an axis, the movable element and the rotary element can approach each other to expand the first expansion unit and the second expansion unit to fonn two anchors. The apparatus :with two anchors secures a sensor in a variety of environments such as walls or machines. When the apparatus with two anchors fixes a sensor in a hole of a stamping machine, the impact force does not cause stress concentration on the sensor so as to improve the reliability of the sensor.
