  • Patent number: 11523495
    Abstract: A multilayer PCB structure includes a core layer, a first layer on a first surface of the core layer, a second layer on a second surface of the core layer, and a thermally conductive material in the core layer. The first surface and the second surface of the core layer are opposite to each other, and a window is formed on the second layer by removing part of the second layer. The window of the second layer exposes part of the core layer below the thermally conductive material.

  • Publication number: 20160279894
    Abstract: A breathable and elastic spacer fabric composite includes a layered fabric and an elastic layer bonded to the layered fabric. The layered fabric is a so-called spacer fabric. The elastic layer has a plurality of substantially uniformly distributed through holes. The elasticity and through holes of the elastic layer render the entire fabric composite elastic while maintaining the breathability of the layered fabric such that the fabric composite is applicable not only to common clothes, but also to products requiring high fabric elasticity, e.g., sporting and medical braces. A method for making the breathable and elastic spacer fabric composite is also provided. The method prevents the adhesive used to bond the elastic layer to the layered fabric from seeping into and clogging the tiny pores of the layered fabric and ensures a high bonding strength between the elastic layer and the layered fabric.

  • Patent number: 7833143
    Abstract: A sit-up exerciser has a base, a seat and a footrest assembly mounted on the base, and a linkage assembly mounted between base and the seat. The linkage assembly has a handle arm, a back arm and a linking rod connected to each other. At least one rear resilient element is connected between the seat and the back arm and at least one front resilient element is connected between the footrest assembly and the handle arm. The resilient elements assist in performing sit-ups and the back arm supports a neck and vertebral column to prevent injury and damage.

  • Patent number: 7828700
    Abstract: An exercise machine has a stand, a linking assembly, an elastic member, a seat, two handles, two pedals and two wheels. The linking assembly is mounted pivotally on the stand. The elastic member is connected to the stand and the linking assembly. The seat is mounted on the stand. The handles, the pedals and the wheels are attached to the linking assembly. The handles are operated against the elastic members and the linking assembly moves to drive an exerciser's legs to stretch out. Therefore, the exercise machine provides the exerciser to train the muscles of the arms and the legs synchronously.

  • Publication number: 20060235495
    Abstract: A long-acting flexible thermal compress includes an inner compound layer, an outer compound layer, and a thermal filling. The inner compound layer comprises a film layer laminated with a contact layer. The outer compound layer comprises a film layer laminated with a separation layer. The thermal filling is sealed in a space defined by both inner and outer compound layers welded at the peripherals of their respective film layers. The separation layer helps achieve long-acting thermal compress. The contact layer is made of a material with better touch and proper heat transfer properties to prevent burn or frostbite.
