  • Patent number: 8067895
    Abstract: The present invention provides a lamp adapter, including a first adapter, a second adapter and a short-circuit. These two adapters are separately coupled between two incoming ends of T5 lamp and T8 socket. The first adapter contains a circuit board, and the second adapter is used for the coupling of the other pin pitch of the lamp. The short-circuit enables functional short-circuiting of the starter of T8 socket, so that the current from the power supply is fed from both ends of T5 lamp to highlight T5 lamp through the circuit of first and second adapters. The shunt circuit is arranged between the connecting circuit (of the input inductor and T5 lamp connector terminal) and cathode loop. The T5 lamp can be mounted onto the T8 socket without changing any structure and components, thus realizing energy-saving and environmental protection with higher intensity of illumination.

  • Patent number: 8067374
    Abstract: Disclosed is an adhesive hemostatic agent based on non-blood constituents including DOPA, able to strongly adhere to collagen fibers. The agent includes an antifibrinolytic agent in addition to an esterified atelocollagen which is non-immunogenic and may become positively charged thereon such that the adhesive hemostatic agent has no possibility of mediating particular diseases or viral infections (HIV, HCV, HBV, CMV, etc), unlike conventional agents comprising blood constituents, and readily binds to negatively charged platelets at high adhesive strength, thus inducing quick blood coagulation. Also, provided is a method for preparing the same.

  • Patent number: 8057071
    Abstract: The present invention provides an end-side heat extraction light emitting diode or LED lamp. The LED lamp includes a lamp housing, a cooling module, and an LED lighting set. The cooling module is configured inside the housing space of the lamp housing, having a cooling fan and a cooling base. The LED lighting set is configured on the LED joint surface of the cooling base. The end-side heat extraction LED lamp also includes a circular frame and an end-side heat extraction airflow guidance passage. The circular frame forms a space extending and expanding to the end side. The end-side heat extraction airflow guidance passage forms an airflow guidance space extending and expanding to the end side, forming a heat radiating path where the heat extraction airflow generated by the running cooling fan of the LED lamp can be exhausted from the light projection end of the lamp housing.

  • Patent number: 8051535
    Abstract: The present invention provides a magnetic doorstop, which is attached to the multidirectional joint of the existing sectional shelf. The doorstep includes a block type main part, which is of block type and has an mounting end and a holder; a clamp mouth, which is concave on the mounting end of the main part and displays a v-shape; and a magnetic part set on the holder of the main part. The magnetic doorstop can clamp the edge of corner recess of a multidirectional joint by the clamp mouth, and when the flexible door piece pivots to close, the magnetic part on the holder of the holding magnetic doorstop attracts the magnet at one corner of the frame bar of the flexible door piece and holds it. Thus, the flexible door piece can be held close.
