    Abstract: A protruding embroidery process which is specially adapted for mass production includes the following steps. Lay and affix a filler by adhering or sewing on an embroidering background element, in which the filler has an even thickness and a size larger than a controur size of a desired embroidering figure for covering a figure portion on the embroidering background elemnet where the desired embroidering figure is required to embroider. Entirely wrap up an embroidering portion of the filler and the embroidering background element with a plurality of sewing threads until the whole embroidering portion is entirely covered and wrapped up by the sewing threads. A size of the embroidering portion smaller than the desired embroidering figure is required to embroider. Fully cut off and remover a leftover portion from the embroidering portion.

  • Patent number: 6166633
    Abstract: An additional logic algorithm is employed in the process for reducing motion-type false alarm of security alarm system automatically or manually, wherein the preset time period of the delaying period of the verification condition is reduced to a shorter first adjusted time period when a second alarm trigger is occurred after the first alarm trigger during the preset time period. If a third alarm trigger is occurred during the first adjusted time period, the delaying period is further reduced to a second adjusted time period shorter than the first adjusted time period. The delaying period will be further reduced when subsequent alarm trigger occurred. However, if there is no third alarm trigger occurred during the first adjusted time period, or there is no subsequent alarm trigger occurred after the last alarm trigger during the latest reduced adjusted time period, the delaying period will be reset to the preset time period.

  • Patent number: 6167347
    Abstract: An improved fully-coupled vehicle positioning process and system thereof can substantially solve the problems encountered in global positioning system-only and inertial navigation system-only, such as loss of global positioning satellite signal, sensibility to jamming and spoofing, and inertial solution's drift over time, in which the velocity and acceleration from an inertial navigation processor are used to aid the code and carrier phase tracking of the global positioning system satellite signals, so as to enhance the performance of the global positioning and inertial integration system, even in heavy jamming and high dynamic environments. The improved fully-coupled GPS/IMU vehicle positioning system includes an IMU (inertial measurement unit) and a GPS processor which are connected to a central navigation processor to produce navigation solution that is output to an I/O (input/output) interface.

  • Patent number: 6160766
    Abstract: A calendar indicator includes a date disc, a week disc and an indicator member. The date disc is equally divided into 28 date indicating segments. The date disc further has 28 numerals, from "1" to "28", respectively provided in sequence on the 28 date indicating segments of the 28 date sectors. The three adjacent date indicating segments having the numerals "1", "2" and "3" provided thereon respectively form a first, a second and a third sub-segment. Three numerals including "29", "30" and "31" are respectively provided on the first, second and third sub-segments. The week disc which is coaxially and rotatably mounted on the date disc is equally divided into 28 week indicating segments. The indicating member is rotatably mounted on the week disc for indicating what date and day of week is today. Whereby the user may easily find out what day is today and the day of week of today from the calendar indicator of the present invention.
