  • Patent number: 8299957
    Abstract: A method for detecting a vehicle type, a vehicle speed and width of a detecting area by a vehicle radar sensor is disclosed. A radio wave is transmitted to a tracked vehicle. Subsequently, the reflective radio wave from the vehicle is received. The Doppler frequency versus time distribution is generated from the reflective radio wave. Because the reflective radio wave is influenced by the Doppler Effect, a parallelogram or a shape close to a parallelogram of a consecutive motion diagram is shown in the Doppler frequency versus time distribution of the vehicle. According to the consecutive motion diagram, certain information, such as the length and speed of the tracked vehicle and the width of the detecting area, can be acquired.

  • Patent number: 8299431
    Abstract: A method for examining a sample with a scanning charged particle beam imaging apparatus. First, an image area and a scan area are specified on a surface of the sample. Herein, the image area is entirely overlapped within the scan area. Next, the scan area is scanned by using a charged particle beam along a direction neither parallel nor perpendicular to an orientation of the scan area. It is possible that only a portion of the scan area overlapped with the image area is exposed to the charged particle beam. It also is possible that both the shape and the size of the image area are essentially similar with that of the scan area, such that the size of the area projected by the charged particle beam is almost equal to the size of the image area.

  • Patent number: 8299769
    Abstract: A multi-output buck converting apparatus with a shutdown protection includes a main buck converter and at least one auxiliary buck converter to provide multi-output voltages. The multi-output buck converting apparatus further includes an abnormal voltage signal generating unit. The abnormal voltage signal generating unit generates a control signal to control switch devices of the auxiliary buck converter when the multi-output buck converting apparatus shuts down. Therefore, the stored energy in the auxiliary buck converter can be released through internal loops or external loops with connected operational loads so as to avoid the recovering energy rebounding a main output voltage of the main buck converter.

  • Patent number: 8297843
    Abstract: A ball retainer chain includes a flat belt with axially arranged holes defined thereon. A separating portion is disposed between every two holes; upper/lower spacers combine with the separating portion. The surface between the separating portion and the adjacent hole is formed by a smooth surface. Partial spacer is formed by a spherical surface that smoothly connected to the hole surface. The spherical surfaces interlacedly arranged at a right side a left side include an opening with a vertical direction and a lateral directions corresponding to the flat belt, so that a mold pair reliant on a slantwise opening and closing manner would complete an injection molding. A smooth cylindrical form at two ends of the flat belt connects to an indentation at an inner or a mold surface of the flat belt. Thereby, while applying the belt to a linear guide apparatus, the cylindrical form could adjustably bend inward or outward for achieving a fluent traveling.

  • Patent number: 8297334
    Abstract: A sliding panel includes multiple connecting/adjacent carrier tracks such as two/three/four carrier tracks while connectors of each carrier track are disposed in opposite directions or at intervals. Thus the multiple connecting/adjacent carrier tracks slide in parallel under the same channel. Moreover, the positions of each connector on top surface of respective carrier track are in alternating arrangement so as to allow runners of multiple connecting/adjacent carrier tracks being mounted inside the same channel simultaneously. The runners of the connecting/adjacent carrier tracks move inside the channel of a rail at the same time and the connecting/adjacent carrier tracks slide in parallel under the same channel. Therefore, the number of channels of the rail is decreased and the amount of material used for producing the rail is reduced. Furthermore, the rail can be designed to have two-step inner and outer rails for adjusting length of the rail.

  • Patent number: 8300568
    Abstract: A multi-class multimedia broadcast/multicast service (MBMS) system includes a transmitter and at least one receiver. The transmitter transmits N primary signals by N primary channels and an auxiliary signal by an auxiliary channel, wherein a resolution of the auxiliary signal is identical to the highest resolution of the N primary signals and the constellation mappings of the auxiliary signal and the primary signal with the highest resolution among said N primary signals on the corresponding modulation constellations are coupled. The receiver couples the primary signal with the corresponding auxiliary/virtual auxiliary signal to obtain a lower-resolution virtual auxiliary signal, which can also be coupled with the primary signal having the same resolution. Therefore, receiving quality of each resolution is improved by combining the primary signal and the corresponding auxiliary/virtual auxiliary signal.
