  • Publication number: 20200238671
    Abstract: A composite cloth structure includes a bottom cloth layer, an inner layer applied on a side of the bottom cloth layer, a plurality of hard particles stuck on the inner layer, and a wrapping layer applied on an outer face of the inner layer. The hard particles are partially exposed outward from the inner layer. The wrapping layer covers the inner layer and the hard particles fully and completely. Thus, the hard particles are encompassed entirely by the inner layer and the wrapping layer, and will not be detached or fall off due to an external force.

  • Patent number: 7862181
    Abstract: A projection apparatus having a temperature controlling system is provided. The projection apparatus comprises at least a heat generating element, while the temperature controlling system comprises a liquid flow system, a heat generating device, and a heat transferring device. The liquid flow system is disposed along the heat generating element. The heat generating device produces heat with a positive value (endothermic) or a negative value (exothermic) in response to an environment dependent on the location of the projection apparatus. The heat transferring device transfers the heat generated by the heat generating device along the liquid flow system. The present invention maintains the operation of the projection apparatus under the desired working temperature and enables a thermal equilibrium of the projection apparatus without being influenced by the over-temperature or under-temperature of the external environment.
