  • Publication number: 20140284837
    Abstract: A method for manufacturing a magnet-conductive device includes performing a punch process to a plate by a glue-injectable punch structure, wherein the glue-injectable punch structure includes a punch head and a control member. The punch head comprises an accommodating cavity, an injection hole and an inlet, and a supply channel is formed by the accommodating cavity, the injection hole and the inlet. The control member selectively obstructs the supply channel or permits the supply channel into conduction. By using the method for manufacturing the magnet-conductive device, the stack between plural plates is simplified, and the coupling strength between adjacent plates is enhanced. In addition, this invention considers the gel between adjacent plates to be insulating medium to lower the iron loss of the magnet-conductive plates.

  • Publication number: 20140186640
    Abstract: The present invention provides an anti-adhesion transparent thin film, which uses physical vapor deposition to deposit a transparent thin film on the surface of a substrate. The transparent film has the characteristics of high light perviousness, good hardness, excellent acid resistivity, and superior anti-adhesion capability. Furthermore, an oxide layer can be formed between the surface of the substrate and the transparent thin film for improving the stability of the transparent thin film adhering to the surface of the substrate. In addition, the process temperature according to the present invention is less than 100; and the transparent thin film according to the present invention requires no metal- or fluorine-containing precursor. Thereby, the costs for industrial applications can be reduced substantially. It is also suitable for the substrates with less temperature tolerance such as metal, nonmetal, and polymer-like substrates. Hence, the applicable industries are extensive.

    Abstract: A graphene screening and separation method comprises the following steps. At least one pair of electrodes and an energy barrier layer is provided, wherein the pair of electrodes is a first electrode and a second electrode, and the energy barrier layer is formed on the first electrode. The pair of electrodes and the energy barrier layer are covered with a graphene suspension. When a graphene sheet in the graphene suspension materially couples the second electrode and the energy barrier layer and is located above the first electrode, a bias voltage between the first electrode and the second electrode of the pair of electrodes is changed and a corresponding tunneling current is measured. Screening and separation are performed by using differential conductance (i.e., the derivative of the tunneling current with respect to the bias voltage) of different layers of graphene.

    Abstract: A residual battery capacity estimation system that adds two mutually perpendicular components and the method thereof are provided. The mechanism detects the battery voltage, current and temperature as the sensing parameters, and uses the preset electrical characteristic parameters and capacity change to look up a table for the battery dynamic internal resistance component. The mechanism uses the sensing parameters and the Coulomb counting method to calculate the component of the battery Coulomb counting charge. Afterwards, the battery dynamic internal resistance component and the battery Coulomb counting capacity component are then added to calculate the actual residual power of the battery. The mechanism achieves the goal of increasing the accuracy in estimating the battery residual power.
