The ceramic glow pencil includes a substantially cylindrical inner conductor disposed along a length of a distal end of the ceramic glow pencil, an insulating layer disposed over the inner conductor, and an outer conductive layer disposed over the insulating layer, wherein the outer conductive layer is connected to the inner conductor at the distal end of the ceramic glow pencil.

Abstract: A method of adjusting a display mode in a device and the device thereof are provided. The method comprises receiving a user request to select a text mode from a first text mode and a second text mode, wherein the first text mode and the second text mode are preset, the first text mode is associated with a first group of first content elements and the second text mode is associated with a second group of second content elements; retrieving the first content elements if the first text mode is selected or the second content elements if the second text mode is selected; and displaying the retrieved content elements on the device, wherein the first group and the second group are pre-stored in a database. The method of adjusting display modes in the device and the device thereof provided by the present disclosure permit a user to easily adjust the entire display mode of the device to avoid partial or complete overlap.

Abstract: A method for specifying and fabricating non-homogeneous, anisotropic, truly functionally graded objects. The objects may have defined spatial heterogeneity (e.g., a gradient in material concentration) with local randomized distributions. This local randomness is designed in such a way that global averaging results in the specified spatial heterogeneity. The fabrication of structures is an additive process in which a material is deposited in defined patterns.

Abstract: A safety device is adapted to be sleeved on a needle unit of a syringe. The safety device includes a barrel unit movable with respect to a base seat of the needle unit and having a connecting end portion and a flexible end portion that has a pair of coupling sections provided respectively with first and second engaging members. The flexible end portion is operable between an opened state, where the coupling sections define an opening that permits extension of a cannula of the needle unit when the barrel unit is in a retracted state, and a closed state, where the flexible end portion deforms to result in engagement between the first and second engaging members to thereby close the opening when the barrel unit is moved to an extended state.

Abstract: The invention relates to a glow plug comprising a housing in which an inner conductor is disposed, a metal sleeve which is inserted into the housing, and a ceramic glow pin which is disposed in the metal sleeve, wherein the two ends of the glow pin protrude from the metal sleeve and the rear end of the pin is connected to the inner conductor, and wherein the metal sleeve has a tapering section at the rear end, the section enclosing a tapering section of the glow pin. According to the invention, the glow pin is pressed into the metal sleeve. The invention further relates to a method for connecting a pin made of functional ceramic to a metal sleeve.

Abstract: A video signal generator provides a test pattern to a display device for measuring a motion artifact (e.g., moving-edge blur) of the display device. The test pattern includes a moving image and a shift velocity of a time-delay integration (TDI) camera is matched to the velocity of the moving image to track a moving edge of the image. The captured image is analyzed to determine a characteristic indicative of the motion artifact of the display device (e.g., the blur edge time).
