  • Publication number: 20180059026
    Abstract: A Raman spectroscopy structure includes a substrate, a conductive layer formed on the substrate, a dielectric layer formed on the conductive layer, wherein the dielectric layer has a first thickness, and spaced apart conductive structures formed on the dielectric layer having a periodicity. Each of the conductive structures has a second thickness and a shape that defines a localized surface plasmonic resonance (LSPR) frequency mode having a width. The dielectric layer defines two Fabry-Perot frequency modes that overlap within the width of the LSPR frequency mode. A desirable double resonance is achieved by two frequency Fabry-Perot modes overlapping within the width of a single frequency plasmonic mode.

  • Patent number: 9862228
    Abstract: A caster structure has a screw hole formed at the middle of a carrying plate and provided for passing, screwing, and pressing a screw, and then screwing and pressing tightly with a nut, so that the installed screw has a smaller thickness to lower the center of gravity of an installed wheel in addition to giving a dual nut fixing effect. The caster has bearings which are mainly thrust bearings for bearing a relatively larger axial gravity to prevent the bearing from being damaged by gravity and the balls from falling out. The bearings are limited and positioned securely to prevent installation gaps and dusts, to maintain a flexible rotation of the caster.

  • Patent number: 9575674
    Abstract: Methods facilitate data streaming in bulk storage devices by generating linked lists containing entries for both user data and metadata. These linked lists containing mixed data types facilitate receiving and outputting user data, and to insert or ignore, respectively, metadata corresponding to that user data without interrupting flow of the user data.

  • Patent number: 9310084
    Abstract: A timer assembly includes a knob operationally coupled to a stove. A shaft is operationally coupled to the knob. The shaft selectively engages a valve on the stove. The knob is retained on the stove. The shaft opens the valve when the knob is rotated to an on position. The shaft closes the valve when the knob is rotated to an off position. A timer is operationally coupled to the shaft. The timer urges the knob to the on position for a selected duration of time. A spring biasing member is operationally coupled to the housing. A strip is coupled between the shaft and the spring biasing member. The spring biasing member urges the knob to the off position. The spring biasing member moves the knob to the off position after the timer ceases urging the knob to the on position.
