An angle regulation device includes a casing, a regulating gear, a driving mechanism, a transmitting mechanism and a powering unit. The regulating gear is pivoted to the casing and is mounted with a radar detector. The driving mechanism includes co-rotatable rotating shaft, and first and second driving members. The transmitting mechanism includes first and second transmitting units each including a transmitting gear that meshes with the regulating gear and that has a gear radius smaller than that of the regulating gear, and a transmitting engaging structure that meshes with a respective one of the first and second driving members. The powering unit is coupled to the rotating shaft for rotating the radar detector relative to the casing.

A modular steering system is adapted to be installed in a vehicle. The vehicle includes a steering column. The modular steering system includes an input unit, a first output unit, and a second output unit. The input unit includes an input shaft that extends along a first axis, that is adapted to be connected to the steering column, and that is adapted to be driven rotatably by the steering column about the first axis. The first output unit includes a first output shaft that extends along and is rotatable about a second axis parallel to the first axis. The second output unit includes a second output shaft that extends along and is rotatable about a third axis. The second axis and the third axis cooperatively define an angle therebetween.

An abnormal detecting system for a pneumatic brake includes a pedal stroke sensor, a front chamber pressure sensor, a rear chamber pressure sensor, a storage unit pressure sensor, a parking brake switch and an abnormal detecting circuit. A pedal stroke signal, a front chamber pressure signal, a rear chamber pressure signal, an air storage unit pressure and a parking brake control signal are output. The abnormal detecting circuit receives the pedal stroke signal, the front chamber pressure signal, the rear chamber pressure signal, the air storage unit pressure signal and the parking brake control signal. The abnormal detecting circuit compares the pedal stroke signal with the front chamber pressure signal or the rear chamber pressure signal and then outputs a first abnormal signal; and the abnormal detecting circuit compares the parking brake control signal and then outputs a second abnormal signal.

A torque detecting device is adapted to be mounted to a torque transmitting device. The torque transmitting device includes rotatable input and output shafts. The torque detecting device includes input and output gears for being sleeved respectively on the input and output shafts and a planet gear unit that includes a ring gear meshing with the input gear, a sun gear disposed in the ring gear, a carrier gear meshing with the output gear, and a plurality of planet gears. The planet gears are coupled rotatably to the carrier gear, are disposed between the sun and ring gears, and mesh with the ring and sun gears such that, when the input gear is rotated relative to the output gear by an angle, the sun gear is driven to rotate reversely by a larger angle.
