    Abstract: A structural steel member connecting assembly includes a first connecting member and a second connecting member. The first connecting member is pivotally connected to a positioning portion of a first structural steel member and therefore can be swung. The second connecting member is pivotally connected to the first connecting member such that the two connecting members are rotatable with respect to each other. The second connecting member has a fixing portion coupled with a second structural steel member such that the longitudinal directions of the two structural steel members intersect. With the second connecting member rotatable with respect to the first connecting member, the installation angles of the two structural steel members can be easily changed in order to make a stable engineering structure.

  • Patent number: 11579175
    Abstract: A pulse measurement device is provided, including a first signal source, a second signal source, two microwave resonators, two mixers, and a signal processing unit. The first signal source and the second signal source output a first high-frequency signal and a second high-frequency signal, respectively. Each of the microwave resonators generates an electric field according to the first high-frequency signal, and senses a variation in the electric field which is interfered by a pulse to obtain a sensing signal. Each of the mixers is coupled to one of the microwave resonators, to mix the sensing signal and the second high-frequency signal to output a down-converted signal. The signal processing unit respectively demodulates amplitudes of the down-converted signals of the two mixers to obtain amplitude signals.
