  • Patent number: 11968556
    Abstract: A network quality measurement method and system are provided. In the method, a movement path and a movement speed of a vehicle device are determined according to a size of a space and an endurance time of the vehicle device, and the vehicle device is controlled to move on the movement path at the movement speed. During a movement of the vehicle device, a network quality in the space is measured according to a measurement frequency to generate network quality data. Whether the network quality in the space is changed is determined according to the network quality data. Whether there is an obstacle around the vehicle device is detected. When it is determined that the network quality in the space is changed or the obstacle is detected around the vehicle device, at least one of the movement path, the movement speed, and the measurement frequency is adjusted.

  • Publication number: 20160379781
    Abstract: A thermostat having a safety function includes a constant temperature mechanism. The constant temperature mechanism includes a metallic lid, an insulation main body coupled to the metallic lid, a dual metallic plate, an insulation push rod leaning against the dual metallic plate, an elastic plate moveably leaning against the insulation push rod, a contact plate movably cooperating with the elastic plate, and two terminals for connecting with a circuit. A safety mechanism is provided between the two terminals of the constant temperature mechanism. The thermostat is compact in structure and has reliable functions and suitable for high power electric appliances to meet the demand of safety effectively.

  • Patent number: 7498546
    Abstract: Objects of the invention relate to a detachable breakaway power supply device that can be selectively coupled to an electrical appliance. A first coupling element is carried by the appliance and a second coupling element is carried by the detachable power supply device. The power supply device is carried by a conventional power supply cord. Attractive magnetic forces between the first and second coupling elements permit selective, removable attachment and electrical contact between the appliance and the power supply device. This arrangement provides a breakaway mechanism in which disturbance of the power supply cord, e.g., by tripping, results in the separation of the power supply device from the appliance to prevent overturning of the appliance and spilling of its contents.

  • Patent number: 6545468
    Abstract: A method of calibrating the magnetic coils of a magnetically enhanced reactive ion etcher includes taking magnetic field measurements outside of a closed plasma chamber and correlating such measurements to the magnetic field within the chamber. One or more factors are established which when applied to measurements taken externally yield results representative of measurements taken internally.
