  • Publication number: 20240092226
    Abstract: An airflow sensing seat comprises a seat body (1), an airbag (2), a sensing assembly (3), and a micro control unit (4). The airbag (2) is provided in the seat body (1). A deformable support structure (21) is provided in the airbag (2). The support structure (21) is used to maintain an appropriate amount of gas in the airbag (2). A transmission mechanism (5) is provided between the airbag (2) and the sensing assembly (3). The transmission mechanism (5) is used to transmit gas disturbance in the airbag (2) to the sensing assembly (3). The sensing assembly (3) is used to generate a corresponding analog electrical signal according to the gas disturbance. The sensing assembly (3) is electrically connected to the micro control unit (4). The sensing assembly (3) transmits the analog electrical signal to the micro control unit (4). The micro control unit (4) is used to perform analysis and computation on the analog electrical signal so as to acquire a biological signal of a user.

  • Publication number: 20230090940
    Abstract: A light weight geopolymer concrete, having a specific gravity less than 2.0, more typically between 1 and 1.3, is provided that has compressive strength comparable to or greater than ordinary Portland concrete. The light weight geopolymer concrete has low shrinkage, expansion, and cracking, and substantially no loss of compressive strength when exposed to high temperatures of 800° C. or greater, as would occur in a fire. To be useful as a load bearing member for general applications, such as residential housing, the compressive strength of the light-weight geopolymer concrete should be at least 10 MPa, preferably greater than 12 MPa, for example greater than 15 MPa. For more demanding uses, the compressive strength should be near or at the compressive strength of concrete, that is, greater than 20 MPa, preferably greater than 30 MPa, and optimally greater than 35 MPa.

  • Patent number: 8034143
    Abstract: A cyclone includes a cylindrical housing and has an inner diameter D. An inlet is near a first end of the housing. A deflection member can be positioned within the first end or the second end of the housing, depending on whether the cyclone is uniflow or reverse flow. An outlet tube is positioned within and extends from a second end or the first end of the housing (depending on whether uniflow or reverse flow). A bunker is formed between the outlet tube and an inner wall of the housing in a uniflow design and between the deflection member and the housing in a reverse flow design, and collects particles separated from an inlet gas stream. A gap between the deflection member and the outlet tube has a length in the range of approximately 0.4*D to 0.8*D. The length of the bunker is approximately greater than or equal to 1.5*D.
