Publication number: 20160345725Abstract: The storage rack according to the present disclosure is adapted for storing an article therein, and comprises one or snore rack bodies capable of being assembled together that each includes four spaced apart main rods, two horizontal rods, two support rods and an engaging unit. Two of the main rods cooperatively define a first imaginary side plane, the other two of said main rods cooperatively define a second imaginary side plane opposite to the first imaginary side plane. The two horizontal rods extend along the first and second imaginary side planes and respectively intersect a pair of the main rods defining the first and second imaginary side planes. The two support rods cooperatively define an imaginary support plane for supporting the article.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 6, 2015Publication date: December 1, 2016Inventor: Charles TSAI

Patent number: 8101498Abstract: An intermediate substrate includes a handle substrate bonded to a thin layer suitable for epitaxial growth of a compound semiconductor layer, such as a III-nitride semiconductor layer. The handle substrate may be a metal or metal alloy substrate, such as a molybdenum or molybdenum alloy substrate, while the thin layer may be a sapphire layer. A method of making the intermediate substrate includes forming a weak interface in the source substrate, bonding the source substrate to the handle substrate, and exfoliating the thin layer from the source substrate such that the thin layer remains bonded to the handle substrate.Type: GrantFiled: April 21, 2006Date of Patent: January 24, 2012Inventors: Thomas Henry Pinnington, James M. Zahler, Young-Bae Park, Charles Tsai, Corinne Ladous, Harry A. Atwater, Jr., Sean Olson

Patent number: 7420826Abstract: Parallel inverters without any communication buses and the controlling method thereof are provided. The parallel inverters are controlled by an instant voltage. Each inverter includes an output voltage waveform controller and a load-sharing controller. The output voltage waveform controller is connected to an output terminal of the inverter to control the waveform of an output voltage of the inverter. The load-sharing controller is connected to the output voltage waveform controller to control the load-sharing of the inverter and to make each inverter have the same phase, active power and reactive power without communications.Type: GrantFiled: May 23, 2006Date of Patent: September 2, 2008Assignee: Delta Electronics, Inc.Inventors: Jing-Tao Tan, Yang Li, Yong-Hua Cheng, Jian-Ping Ying, Charles Tsai
