Abstract: A steam channeling structure adopted for use on a steam iron to transfer steam to perform cleaning function. The steam iron includes at least a soleplate heated to perform ironing function and at least one steam vent. The steam channeling structure includes a coupling dock and at least one cleaning tool mounted onto the coupling dock. The coupling dock has a protective portion to cover the soleplate and a steam directing portion communicating with the steam vent to direct steam discharged through the steam vent. The cleaning tool has a steam passage connecting to the steam directing portion and a steam channeling vent located in the steam passage. Steam generated by the steam iron is conveyed through the steam directing portion to the steam channeling vent to be discharged to perform steam cleaning function on a selected article.

Abstract: The present invention is directed to an emission treatment system for the treatment and/or conversion of engine emissions and particulate matter from diesel engines. The emission treatment system of the present invention comprises an upstream oxidation catalyst, a particulate filter or soot filter section and optionally a downstream catalytic element or clean-up catalyst for the treatment and/or conversion of any remaining emission gas stream contaminants.

Abstract: A linear compensation method for touch control systems aims to provide an accurate correction for the depressing electric field that generates signal sources in a touch control system. Through a voltage detection and compensation approach, and after the touch control system has been shipped from the plant with correction done for a rated duty voltage or set duty voltage, and is installed on an operation environment and receives an actual duty voltage, the linear compensation method of the invention updates the linear compensation data according to the voltage variation between the actual duty voltage and the rated or set duty voltage thereby to maintain accurate depressing electric field at the duty voltage for the touch control system.

Abstract: An adjustable lamp includes a lamp and a scattering shade which is slidable on the lamp. The scattering shade has a front end coupled with a reflective blade which is bent at a selected angle to reflect light. By sliding the scattering shade on a light penetrative shade, the position of the reflective blade can be changed to alter the reflective direction of the light.

Abstract: The present invention discloses a LED (Light-Emitting Diode) heat-dissipating module, which comprises a heat-dissipating fin, a heat-conduction pipe, a LED illumination module and a casing. The heat-dissipating fin has an insertion/press-fit member inserted by or press-fitted to the heat-conduction pipe. The heat-conduction pipe has a contact region contacting the LED illumination module. In the application of the present invention, the LED illumination module is installed on the contact regions of several heat-conduction pipes inserted into or press-fitted to the heat-dissipating fins; thus, the heat generated by the LED illumination module can be effectively dissipated. Then, the LED illumination module is placed inside the casing having an accommodation space. Thus, heat can be conducted via the heat-conduction pipe to the heat-dissipating fin and then fast dissipated therefrom even though the LED illumination module is placed inside the casing.

Abstract: A stroller mainly includes an upper rack, a front wheel rack, a rear wheel rack, an arched rib, a connection bar, a bracing bar, a guarding handle, a plurality of rotary joints and a plurality of corresponding bars. It also has a folding means consisting of the rear wheel rack, arched rib, second, third and fourth rotary joints, a direction switch and wheel retraction means consisting of the front wheel rack, arched rib, second, third and fourth rotary joints, a brake means consisting of brake pulling bar assembly, a plurality of brake means and a cable, and a seat assembly consisting of a cross coupling hub, a guarding handle, a seat rack and a first rotary joint. The second rotary joint is slidable on the rear wheel rack. The fourth rotary joint is slidable on the arched rib.

Abstract: The present invention provides a time indicator and method of use for determining and visually displaying the passage of a predetermined period of time. The time indicator of the present invention comprises a top portion and a bottom portion. The top portion is a multi-layer segment comprising a dye support layer coated with a masking layer, which containing a viewing window therethrough, and a non-curing ink or dye permeable polymer layer containing a migrating agent. The bottom portion is a multi-layer segment comprising a base support layer and a migrating ink or dye printed on the top surface of the base segment. The time indicator apparatus further comprises a removable impervious film or middle layer, which can be removed allowing the top and bottom portions to come into contact with one another, thereby activating the time indicator. The time indicator of the present invention allows one to follow the uniform directional visual dye migration through the viewing window.

Abstract: The present invention is directed to the use of an improved hydrocarbon adsorbent coating for the treatment of exhaust emissions from a motor vehicle. More specifically, the hydrocarbon adsorbent of the present invention can be coated to any surface area of an exhaust gas recirculation system to trap hydrocarbon vapors before they can be released to the atmosphere.

Abstract: The present invention discloses a capacitive touch panel, which comprises: an insulation substrate; an electrically-conductive layer, installed on the insulation substrate; and multiple electrically-conductive segments, installed on the perimeter of the electrically-conductive layer. The present invention improves the distribution characteristics of the electric field neighboring the frame of a touch panel via providing at least one chamfer for one end of each electrically-conductive segment. Thereby, the distribution of the electric field lines neighboring the frame can be smooth and uniform. Thus, the accuracy and the usable area of the touch panel are promoted.

Abstract: A new and distinct cultivar of Doritaenopsis plant named ‘SOGO F1016’, characterized by its flowers of yellow overlaid toward white base and the white with red labellum, freely flowering habit, upright, freely branching and sturdy flowering stems, and the excellent postproduction longevity.
