  • Publication number: 20160067902
    Abstract: An extrusion die includes a first metal plate and a second metal plate. The first and second metal plates define a first entrance for receiving a first plastic flow, a first cavity including two first distributing channels, and a second cavity including two second distributing channels. The first entrance communicates with the first cavity. The first metal plate further defines a second entrance for receiving a second plastic flow of different color. The second entrance communicates with the second cavity. The first cavity communicates with the second cavity through a common side therebetween. An exit is defined at bottoms of the cavities, from which bicolor plastic sheets can be delivered. One of the first distributing channels and one of the second distributing channels are respectively curved downwardly to join to the common side between the cavities, so that the plastic flows can flow more smoothly to prevent color mixing therebetween.

  • Patent number: 8269432
    Abstract: An offline LED lighting circuit comprises a controller and a dimming circuit. The controller generates a switching signal to switch a transformer for generating an output voltage and an output current at an output terminal of the offline LED lighting circuit to drive LEDs. The dimming circuit is coupled to the controller to modulate the switching signal in response to a dimming signal. A first reference voltage and a second reference voltage of the controller are generated in response to the dimming signal. The switching signal is modulated by the first reference voltage and the second reference voltage. The controller regulates the output voltage at a first output level and a second output level in response to both the first reference voltage and the second reference voltage. The second output level is lower than the first output level.

  • Patent number: 8233685
    Abstract: A method comprises performing a first T2-weighted imaging (T2WI) on a subject; injecting the subject with a contrast agent after performing the first T2WI; and waiting a predetermined period of time before performing a second T2WI on the subject. The first T2WI and second T2WI are then co-registered. The co-registered first T2WI and co-registered second T2WI are then trimmed. A ?R2 map is then determined based on each pixel of the trimmed first T2WI and corresponding pixels of the trimmed second T2WI. A three-dimensional map is constructed based on the ?R2 map.

  • Patent number: 8134302
    Abstract: An offline LED driving circuit includes a controller, a shunt regulator, an opto-coupler, and a dimming circuit. The controller generates a switching signal to switch a transformer for providing an output voltage and an output current. The shunt regulator is coupled to an output terminal of the LED driving circuit for providing a feedback signal to the controller via the opto-coupler. The dimming circuit coupled to the shunt regulator modulates the feedback signal at a first feedback level and a second feedback level in response to a dimming signal. The output voltage is respectively regulated at a first output level and a second output level in response to the first feedback level and the second feedback level of the feedback signal. The duty cycle of the switching signal will be varied in a soft-start manner when the feedback signal changes from the second feedback level to the first feedback level.
