  • Patent number: 10639512
    Abstract: A resistance regulating device for a wheel of a training device is disclosed. The resistance regulating device comprises a rotary mechanism pivotally connected with a stationary mechanism and a motor with other components to rotate the rotary mechanism and hence a distance between magnets of the rotary mechanism and the wheel is changed. In addition, an optical detection device may be used to detect and define a minimum resistance and a maximum resistance and hence to adjust a resistance in a stepless manner. An emergency brake mechanism may be further employed.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 8735176
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a metal oxide nano-composite magnetic material, fabrication method, and method for linkage, enrichment, and isolation of phosphorylated species. The metal oxide nano-composite magnetic material comprises the magnetic iron oxide nanoparticle, a silica layer immobilized onto the magnetic iron oxide nanoparticle and a metal oxide layer coated onto the silica layer. The magnetic iron oxide nanoparticles can be used for absorbing microwave radiation to accelerate the enrichment and linkage for phosphorylated species onto the metal oxide nano-composite magnetic material. Furthermore, the magnetic property of magnetic iron oxide nanoparticles leads to isolation of the metal oxide nano-composite magnetic material-target species conjugates by simply employing an external magnetic field.
