  • Publication number: 20060191226
    Abstract: A floor panel for a raised floor system is provided, where the floor panel includes a plate member with at least one longitudinal groove and a reinforcing member at least a portion of which is inserted into the longitudinal groove. The longitudinal groove is formed on the plate member of the floor panel for a raised floor system, and a stick type reinforcing member and/or a plate type reinforcing member is inserted into the longitudinal groove. Thereby, a thickness of the floor panel can be reduced and at the same time high stiffness and light weight of the floor panel can be achieved, and so a better walking feeling can be obtained and wider spacing of pedestals can be achieved. By coating the plate with a waterproof composition, it is possible to overcome drawbacks of a size and strength thereof being changed and deteriorated by being exposed to moisture.

  • Publication number: 20050241249
    Abstract: An access floors for reducing floor impact sound. The access floor system includes a plurality of supports disposed at regular intervals, and upper plates placed on the supports, each of the upper plates including an upper board, a lower board, and a quadrangular reinforcing frame disposed between the upper board and the lower board. By employing the high rigidity sandwich upper plate, the upper plate can be light and the interval between the supports can be widened in comparison with the conventional access floor system, so that the floor impact sound reduction effect is enhanced. Since sound absorbing material or head insulation material is inserted between the reinforcing members, the sound absorption performance or the heat insulation performance can be enhanced. More particularly, the floor impact sound in apartments is absorbed so that comfortable environment without noise can be realized.

  • Patent number: 6944554
    Abstract: Disclosed is a method for detecting a fault by using harmonics and a state transition diagram. When the fault occurs on transmission lines, the fault is detected by using harmonics and the state transition diagram. Two logic signals are outputted by using apparent impedance of a steady state characteristic and a sum of harmonics components of a transient state characteristic. Such two logic signals are used as input parameters of the state transition diagram so that the state of an electric power system is presumed based on a state transition of the electric power system. It is possible to prevent a distance relay from being malfunctioned under an increase of load and unstable voltage. The state of the electric power system is presumed by using harmonics and the state transition diagram, and the fault on the transmission line is reliably detected.

  • Publication number: 20050142476
    Abstract: A color toner composition for developing latent electrostatic images includes nanopowder-coated toner particles, the powder-coated toner particles being characterized in that each comprises a core toner particle having a volume average diameter, Dp, and the core toner particles have affixed to their surfaces a plurality of discrete colorant powder particles having a volume average diameter, dp, wherein the ratio of Dp/dp is at least about 5 and the weight fraction of colorant powder particles is at least about 0.01 based on the combined weight of core toner particles and colorant powder particles. Preferably, the weight fraction of colorant powder particles is from about 0.3 to about 3 times the product, (?p/?r) (d/r) (1+d/r)2, where ?p is the density of the colorant powder particles, ?r the density of the core resin particles, d, the volumetric mean diameter of the colorant powder particles and r the volumetric mean radius of the toner core resin particles.

  • Patent number: 6768620
    Abstract: Disclosed in an adaptive reclosing method using a variable dead time control algorithm in a power transmission line. The method is used to remove faults induced by a circuit breaker being operated by a protective relay and to reclose the circuit breaker after a dead time following faults occurring, thereby automatically and promptly re-establishing power transmission in the network and reliably maintaining the power supply by the transmission system.
