Abstract: A choke coil module of a high power density DC-AC power inverter includes a bottom plate and a top plate. Two upright posts are secured between the bottom plate and the top plate. The upright posts are sleeved with choke coils, respectively. The choke coils and heat radiating holes of the bottom plate and the top plate are communicated with one another to form an air guide passage. When the power converter is actuated, the choke coils generate heat. Through a fan unit, the outside air is guided into a casing via air inlets of the casing, and the heat generated by the choke coils is expelled to the outside via the air guide passage and air outlets of the casing. The choke coil module mounted in the high power density casing is able to achieve an excellent heat radiation effect.

Abstract: A torque sensing device includes an idle wheel disposed between a force input shaft and a force output shaft, the idle wheel receives a tangential force from the force input shaft and the force output shaft to generate a counterforce as a loading, the center of the idle wheel is pivotally disposed on a positioning beam or a basis nearby, the positioning beam has a beam central line where a strain gauge installed. The positioning beam transforms the loading of the idle wheel along the beam central line to a normal force on the cross section of the positioning beam along the beam central line, the positioning beam generates a strain due to the normal force on the cross section of the positioning beam, the strain gauge detects the strain as the torsion sensing value of the output shaft on the region between the force input shaft and the force output shaft. A rotational driving tool is combined with the torque sensing device to improve the detecting precision of the torsion.

Abstract: A technique for improving the efficiency of injecting ions into the electrode unit of a funnel structure having high ion-transport efficiency is provided to improve the overall ion-transport efficiency. From an ionization chamber 1 for ionizing a sample under atmospheric pressure, ions are injected through a straight capillary pipe 3 into the inner space of the electrode unit 10 of a funnel structure composed of ring electrodes in a first intermediate vacuum chamber 4. The space for setting the capillary pipe 3 is formed by replacing one or more ring electrodes with C-shaped electrodes whose circumference portion is partially removed. Each C-shaped electrode is arranged so that the ions will be injected perpendicularly to the ion-transport direction.
