  • Patent number: 12103072
    Abstract: The invention provides a composite particle material for selective laser sintering (SLS), which is composed of an inorganic powder coated with a binder. The composite particulate material is formed by mixing the inorganic powder and the binder to have the binder directly coated on the outer surface of the inorganic powder. In addition, the inorganic powder to be coated by the binder is preferably using a powder having a smaller particle size and a larger particle size distribution, and thereby the production cost can be greatly reduced. Further, since the outer surface of the inorganic powder is coated with the binder, there are no problems such as causing oxidation of the inorganic powder and so on. Furthermore, manufacturing the composite particle material can be easily carried out in a general ambient or an atmospheric environment, and the powder material after use is recyclable.

    Abstract: The invention discloses a power noise suppression circuit applied to a power system. The power noise suppression circuit comprises at least one power noise to heat converter and at least one anti-power noise transmitted unit. When a power noise within a specific frequency band enters the power noise suppression circuit, the power noise to heat converter converts the power noise to a thermal energy, and the anti-power noise transmitted unit reflects the power noise within the specific frequency band to the power noise to heat converter. Accordingly, the power noise within the specific frequency band can be suppressed and absorbed in the power noise suppression circuit, so as to maintain the stability of the power system.
