A ballistic trajectory adjustment mechanism for a toy gun includes an inner barrel penetrating through a gun base, a rubbing sleeve mounted on the inner gun barrel and a rubbing portion positioned inside the inner gun barrel. The inner gun barrel penetrates through a gear set. A flexible press plate includes one end inserting into the gear set and another extended to the rubbing sleeve. An adjustment barrel rotates under the exertion of an external force to drive the gear set to rotate in order to allow a restricting end of the flexible press plate to generate upward and downward movements and to press onto the rubbing sleeve for changing the position of the rubbing portion. With such configuration, the position of the rubbing portion can be adjusted via the adjustment barrel; therefore, the objective of correcting the ballistic trajectory is achieved.

A method for acquiring a code phase shift between an input sequence and a reference sequence is provided. The method is to be implemented using an acquisition device that includes a mapping unit configured to transform the input sequence and the reference sequence respectively into an input signal and a reference signal each with a complex phase, a comparison unit configured to compare the input signal with the reference signal so as to obtain a phase coherent indicator, and calculating unit configured to obtain the code phase shift between the input sequence and the reference sequence based on a phase of the phase coherent indicator and a number of bits of the input sequence.

A wireless communication method for transmitting information to the designated region with the boundary defined by the sharp cutoff is provided. Receivers outside the designated region are excluded from retrieving the encoded information. The boundary of designated region is adjustable. The wireless communication method can be applied to clearly defining the accepted region and rejection region in satellite communications. The wireless communication method includes steps of providing an information; encoding the information into an encoded data regarding a designated bit-energy-to-noise-ratio; transmitting the encoded data to form a virtual antenna radiation pattern covering a designated region with boundary defined by the sharp cutoff based on the designated bit-energy-to-noise-ratio; receiving the encoded data; and decoding the encoded data into the original information only when receivers within the designated region with bit-energy-to-noise-ratio no less than the designated bit-energy-to-noise-ratio. The critical feature of the method is clarified by experiments on the communication satellite ST-1.

A high-accuracy and computational efficient phase-discriminating device is provided and includes a phase-discriminating unit. The phase-discriminating unit converts an input and a reference signals into an input and a reference sequences respectively by a one-bit A/D conversion operation, determines a first value, an in-phase component and a quadrature component of the input signal in response to the input and the reference sequences, and produces an estimated phase of the input signal according to a relation among the first value, the in-phase component and a polarity of the quadrature component, wherein the first value is a certain integer being one of a first integer and a second integer, the first integer is a sampling count of the one-bit A/D conversion operation for producing the input sequence, and the second integer is a summation of an absolute value of the in-phase component and that of the quadrature component.
