  • Publication number: 20240158309
    Abstract: The invention provides a material surface treatment equipment, which is applied to a material substrate. The material surface treatment equipment includes a surface treatment device and at least one waveguide device. The surface treatment device is used to carry the material substrate to perform a surface treatment process. Each waveguide device is used for introducing electromagnetic waves to the material substrate to assist in performing the surface treatment process. Through the introduction of electromagnetic waves, the surface treatment process of the material substrate is easy to perform and can achieve the strengthening effect.

  • Patent number: 8623944
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a Plasticizer, which is fabricated by mixing monomers of biodegradable polymer with bio-molecules subsequently to deal the mixture with thermal treatment. The Biodegradable material comprising the Plasticizer has high melt index which is contributive for the processing of thermal processing, and the microwave-tolerance and water-resistance of the material makes the material suitable for food packaging.

  • Patent number: 6276014
    Abstract: A tool coupler/knife combination includes a sleeve and a casing slidably mounted in the sleeve and having a blade mounted therein. The blade is slidable relative to the casing to a positioning in which an end of the blade is exposed for cutting. A tool coupler is mounted to the sleeve for releasably engaging with a tool bit. The casing includes a receptacle for receiving a telescopic rod with a magnetic end for attracting screws. Longitudinal position of the casing relative to the sleeve may be adjusted to thereby change the arm of force for cutting objects or driving fasteners.
