Abstract: A mark-free fabric strap wire casing. The casing is provided with a cushion B which is composed of erect fine hairs C for relieving the stress generated by the bra wire on skin. With simple structure, the present invention which is used as the casing for the wire used in female underwear can be manufactured with high production efficiency and suitable for the production automation. Because the fabric strap itself is provided with a cushion composed of erect fine hairs, it has a softer feel when in contact with skin and relieves the pressure feel generated by the wire within the underwear on skin. It reduces the wire impression mark left under the breasts after wearing it. The wire can be embedded without causing much embossment, thereby enchaining visual appearance of the underwear article.

Abstract: A wavelength selective switch (WSS) with hitless switching. The WSS includes the fiber collimator array, the focusing lens, collimating lens, diffraction grating, focusing lens, and attenuation reflection unit array. Each attenuation reflection unit has an interconnected transmission-type MEMS attenuator and a one-dimension MEMS reflector. The transmission-type MEMS attenuator is positioned in the front of the one-dimension MEMS reflector. The central axis of the transmission-type MEMS attenuator aligns and coincides with that of the one-dimension MEMS reflector, with the two central axes being glued together. The WSS of the present invention effectively utilizes the combination of a one-dimension reflector array and a transmission-type optical attenuator chip. With the use of one-dimension reflector array, instead of the known two-dimension reflector array, the complexity of design and manufacture is greatly reduced, thereby reducing the production costs of the switch.

Abstract: The present invention relates to an integrated dual-track surface-wave filter comprising two input interdigital transducers, an output interdigital transducer, and a shield stripe therebetween, which are integrated on a piezoelectric wafer. The integrated dual-track surface-wave filter is characterized in that the two input interdigital transducers share one output interdigital transducer and one comb-like electrode that has a bus bar arranged at the middle thereof, and in that main lobe regions of apodized envelope curves on the two parallel input interdigital transducers are staggered to be at cross overlapping positions, and in that the bus bar on the common comb-like electrode is segmented to connect respective fingers on the two input interdigital transducers. In this manner, the present invention effectively narrows the chip area occupied, consumes less substrate materials and decreases the volume of the encapsulated enclosure, thereby reducing the manufacture cost effectively.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a use of total coumarins of cnidium fruit in preparation of a medicament for treating psoriasis. The invention can significantly inhibit mitosis of vaginal epithelial cells of rats; promote the formation of epidermal granular stratum in rat tail's scale; inhibit passive cutaneous anaphylaxis of rats; significantly reduce ear-swelling of mouse induced by croton oil and foot-swelling of rats induced by egg-white; and lessen the itching reaction caused by increasing itch-causing threshold of guinea pigs caused by histamine phosphate. The total coumarins of the invention can improve the clinical symptom of psoriasis, have higher curative effect and are safe to use. It can be administrated both externally and orally.

Abstract: A device and method for producing Ga doped silicone single crystal with a diameter between 150 and 165 mm and a narrow resistivity distribution range (from 3 ?·cm to 0.5 ?·cm). The device is characterized by the use of a shorter heater and a funnel shaped gas flow guide capable of blowing an inert gas such as Ar straight to the crystallization frontier at the interface between outer surface of the nascent single crystal ingot and the surface of the melt of polycrystalline silicone raw materials in a quartz crucible.

Abstract: An output protection circuit used for a power converter having an operational amplifier, a diode, a number of voltage-dividing resistors, and a switch tube. In this circuit, the voltage-dividing resistors are connected in series to form a voltage-dividing network, of which one node is connected to a reference level end Vref of a PWM control module of the converter, while the other node is grounded. A voltage dividing point M is coupled to an inverting input end of the operational amplifier AR1.

Abstract: A device and method for determining the personality type of a person or a group of persons in the tradition of the Enneagram. The device includes a number of cards and each of the cards has at least a color band, an image and a group of words, which collectively identifies an ego type.

Abstract: A parallel mechanism which has a holding bracket; a movable platform; and three branch joint assemblies of the same structure that are spatially arranged symmetrically about an axis disposed between the holding bracket and the movable platform. Each branch joint assembly has a connecting rod, a linear guide, a driving device and a carriage. The linear guide and the driving device both are secured on the connecting rod. One end of the connecting rod is connected with the movable platform through a hinge having three rotational degrees of freedom. The carriage and the linear guide are connected with each other by a sliding joint, and the carriage is connected with the holding bracket by a hinge having one rotational degree of freedom.

Abstract: A supported amorphous alloy catalyst, which is supported on a macroporous carrier-expanded graphite. The catalyst contains a Ni—B amorphous alloy (5 to 50% by weight) and a transition inductive metal (0.1 to 10% by weight). The diameter of expanded graphite carrier particles is 80-800 ?m. Its BET specific surface area is 10-100 m2/g. The catalyst is prepared by metal inductive electroless powder plating method which is easy to apply to industrial production. Ni—B clusters of prepared catalyst are well dispersed on the support. The catalyst shows high catalytic activity and good mechanical property, and is safe to use with low manufacturing costs.

Abstract: A fast terminal box includes a casing, a cover, plural wiring sockets, plural metal connection components and a plurality of wiring terminals. The wiring sockets are placed and distributed on a bottom plate of the casing one by one. The metal connection component is provided on the wiring socket for connection purpose. The casing and the cover are combined to each other. The wiring terminals are distributed at sidewall of the casing for receiving corresponding wiring plugs therein. The fast terminal box is characterized in heat sink metal fins are contained in a space around the wiring socket, and heat sink metal fins contact pins of a diode and the metal connection component respectively through corresponding connection portions thereof.

Abstract: The present invention is directed to methods for comparatively detecting the level of human Porcupine (PPN)/MG61, a family member of membrane-bound O-acyltransferases, which is the human homologue of the Drosophila polarity gene Porcupine (Porc), and use thereof.

Abstract: A sustained release formulation by using dimeticone as the dispersion medium, which includes active ingredient (e.g., drugs against parasites, insecticides, NSAIDs, antibiotics, sex hormone like agents or oily soluble vitamins) and dimeticone as the medium. Suitable stabilizer, antioxidant, local analgesics and material for sustained release may be added. The formulation is bio-compatible, stable and injectable.
