  • Publication number: 20160345725
    Abstract: 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.

  • Patent number: 8101498
    Abstract: 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.

  • Patent number: 7420826
    Abstract: 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.

  • Publication number: 20050031404
    Abstract: A car wash device includes a vessel, pump, brush, hose, flow control device and fittings. The brush has a nozzle. The hose is matable to the brush and to the vessel. The brush is matable to both the hose for the vessel and a high pressure water source. A flow control device has a low pressure position for use when the brush is mated to the vessel and a high pressure position when the brush is mated to the high pressure water source. Liquid may be pressurized by the pump and flow from the vessel and through the nozzle for use when the flow control device is in the low pressure position. Alternatively, water flows from the high pressure water source through the nozzle for use when the flow control device is in the high pressure position. A brush for the car wash device is also provided.
