  • Patent number: 10459431
    Abstract: A three-dimensional printing apparatus includes a liquid tank, a curing platform and a light source device. A bearing member of the liquid tank is air proof, and forms an accommodating space with a side wall of the liquid tank. The curing platform is disposed at a first side of the bearing member corresponding to the accommodating space for allowing a workpiece to be cured on a surface thereof. After the accommodating space accommodates a liquid material, a curing light beam provided by a light source device disposed at a second side of the bearing member opposite to the accommodating space cures at least part of the liquid material on a surface of the curing platform via the bearing member. The use of a solid release material between the curing platform and the bearing member may be omitted. Methods for printing and releasing a three-dimensional workpiece are also provided.

  • Patent number: 9939715
    Abstract: A projection device is disposable into a display platform of a display rack having a plurality of display platforms, for directly projecting an image frame onto a projection screen of the display platform. The image frame projected to the projection screen is not reflected by any reflective mirror arranged between the projection device and the projection screen. A length of the image frame in a first direction is equal to at least ten times a length of the image frame in a second direction. Since no reflective mirror is arranged between the projection device and the projection screen, the projection device is more easily applicable to display racks.

  • Patent number: 9819196
    Abstract: A power distribution system capable of automatic fault detection includes a lateral, a switch unit and a feeder terminal unit. The switch unit includes a circuit breaker coupled for transmitting electrical power to the lateral when making electrical connection, and a protection relay to provide a control signal that causes the circuit breaker to break electrical connection upon determining that the magnitude of a current provided by the circuit breaker is greater than a threshold current value. The feeder terminal unit detects whether or not the protection relay generates the control signal, so as to determine whether or not a fault has occurred in the lateral.
