Abstract: A remote controllable power outlet apparatus with grouping capability and a remote control grouping method thereof, includes a microprocessor, a communication module, a power protection and control module, a grouping unit, at least a controllable socket set, a switch, and an original remote control which belongs and corresponds to the remote controllable power outlet apparatus. Therein the switch is coupled between the microprocessor, the power protection and control module, and the controllable socket set, and the switch is for controlling whether or not the controllable socket set provides power. When the original remote control is plugged into the grouping unit, the remote controllable power outlet apparatus then activates a remote control grouping function, and the remote controllable power outlet apparatus can be controlled by another remote control other then the original remote control.

Abstract: Provided are a power outlet apparatus with message leaving capability and the message leaving method thereof, in which the apparatus includes several units coupling with a computation processing module, such as a communication module, a storage unit, an indication unit, a display unit, and a sound generation unit. A protection module is further included for providing power to all of the modules and units mentioned above. And moreover, the apparatus includes at least one power socket coupling with the power protection and controlling module, wherein the power sockets are for connecting electrical devices requiring power supply. By introducing the electrical message board into the power outlet apparatus, the occupied spaces of the message board is reduced. Furthermore, the power provision of electrical message board is getting more convenient by directly acquiring the electrical power from the power outlet apparatus.

Abstract: A compact and wearable metabolic analyzer transducer comprising a housing containing a plurality of analog sensors, an A/D converter, a microcontroller, and a power source operatively coupled thereto where the microcontroller is programmed to compute minute ventilation, O2 uptake, and CO2 production of a subject. The transducer and its contents are of a size and weight that can either be easily supported from a facemask worn by a subject or incorporated in a respiratory circuit. The measured values can be wirelessly transmitted or transmitted, via a cable, to a remote personal computer, a personal digital assistant (PDA), or other display devices such as digital watches or image projectors.

Abstract: A fabric gate has a ratchet assembly, a delaying assembly and a driving device. The ratchet assembly has a ratchet, a positioning ring and a driven pad. The ratchet has a wheel provide with multiple upper ratchet teeth and multiple lower ratchet teeth. The upper ratchet teeth extend toward a direction opposite to that of the lower ratchet teeth extending. The positioning ring is expandable and has engaging teeth engaging respectively with the ratchet teeth on the ratchet. The driven pad is attached to the top of the positioning ring to expand the positioning ring when the driven pad is rotated by the driving device. The delaying assembly is mounted in the top cap and connected to the ratchet assembly to reduce to the rotating speed of the driven pad.

Abstract: A supercharging system (40) is disclosed which comprises a supercharging device (28) having at least one inlet port (42) and at least one outlet port (44), and at least one idle valve (30) in fluid communication with the supercharging device (28). The idle valve (30) is disposed adjacent the outlet port (44) and is arranged to selectively restrict fluid flow during use in a direction through the idle valve (30) towards the supercharging device (28). A corresponding supercharging kit and an internal combustion engine including a supercharging system are also disclosed.

Abstract: The present disclosure is directed to a refuse collection vehicle including a vehicle body for receiving, compacting, transporting and ejecting refuse materials of a type using a packer panel that operates reciprocally along in said vehicle body with a connected follower panel in which the receiving and packing arrangement enables refuse to be deposited into a receiving section or area at any time regardless of the reciprocal position of the packer panel and which includes an efficient, low maintenance wiper member design in conjunction with a follower panel attached to the packer panel such that the top surface of both the follower panel and the packer panel are cleaned or swept off during the return or retraction stroke of the packer panel.

Abstract: A power converter having a pivotable and receivable power plug has a housing, an adapter board, a power output unit and a plug. The adapter board and the power output unit are mounted inside the housing. The adapter board has two conducting strips and a grounding strip. Each conducting strip has a shaft holder formed by bending a free end of the conducting strip, and two metal pivot shafts formed on two opposite sides of the plug are pivotally and respectively mounted in the shaft holders. The plug has a ground plate having a first engagement portion formed thereon. The grounding strip has a second engagement portion formed therein in a pivoting path of the plug to engage the first engagement portion and position the plug when the plug is pivoted and protrudes beyond the housing. Accordingly, the power converter can have a pivotable and receivable plug with minimum parts.

Abstract: This invention is related to a manufacturing method of a printing plate by using a free-seal, free-quantity liquid photopolymer sachet and an apparatus thereof. Using this technology, the liquid photopolymer sachet is no longer to be limited by quantity with 3 dimensions—width, length and thickness. It is now very free, easy and convenient to use liquid photopolymer resin in a bag to make a printing plate at any width and length with any thickness you want.

Abstract: The invention provides an apparatus and a method for measuring a dimension of a circular object. First to third sensors arranged in a straight line are disposed above a track to respectively measure time instants when the circular object moves past the first to third sensors. The dimension of the circular object is calculated according to distances between the first and second sensors and between the second and third sensors.

Abstract: A height adjustable top frame for a golf bag has a base, at least one locking rod mounted slidably through the base, a holding bracket mounted securely on an upper end of the at least one locking rod and a locking mechanism mounted between the base and the holding bracket and selectively engaging the at least one locking rod. Despite being different lengths, golf clubs can be supported by adjusting the holding bracket to allow heads of the golf clubs to rest on the holding bracket. The golf bag with the height adjustable top frame does not have to be lengthened and the golf clubs with different lengths are appropriately and stably mounted in the golf bag without colliding or damaging each other.

Abstract: An inflating nozzle assembly has a housing, two nozzles and a pushing device. The housing has two nozzle chambers and two outlets. The nozzles are mounted respectively in the first nozzle chamber, and one of the nozzles has a nozzle body, a nozzle rod and a spring. The nozzle body has at least one inlet. The nozzle rod is movably mounted in the nozzle body and has a sealing protrusion to divide two communication segments in the nozzle body. The spring is connected to the nozzle rod to keep one of the communication segments of the axial hole from communicating with the at least one inlet in the first nozzle body. Accordingly, an airflow led through the outlets of the housing can be automatically switched by inserting different types of air valves into the corresponding outlets.
