Abstract: A load cell touch control device includes a touch panel, a plurality of load cells and a control unit. The touch panel receives a stress applied thereon. The load cells are implemented in the touch panel to detect respective components of the stress received by the touch panel. The control unit is connected to the load cells in order to receive magnitudes of the respective components to thereby calculate a magnitude, position and motion trace of the stress on the touch panel based on the respective components detected by the load cells in the touch panel.

Abstract: A keyed cylinder assembly (10) includes a keyed cylinder (3) mounted in a door lock (1) and including a hollow body (31) and a cylinder plug (32) rotatably received in the hollow body (31). The cylinder plug (32) includes an annular groove (327) formed in an outer periphery (320) thereof. The keyed cylinder (3) further includes an arresting member (37) received in the hollow body (31) and having an inner end (371) received in the annular groove (327). The keyed cylinder assembly further includes a first key (4) insertable into a keyway (323) of the cylinder plug (32) to operate both a latch bolt (12) and a deadbolt (13) of the door lock (1). The keyed cylinder assembly (10) further includes a second key (5) insertable into the keyway (323) of the cylinder plug (32) to operate the latch bolt (12) only.

Abstract: A lock includes a case, a key cylinder mounted to an outer side of the case, and a thumb turn mounted to an inner side of the case. A deadbolt is mounted in the case and coupled with a shank of the thumb turn and operably connected to a lock core of the key cylinder. The head is movable along a deadbolt axis between a retracted position in the case and an extended position outside the case when the lock core or the thumb turn is turned. Two hooks are mounted to the deadbolt and each pivotable between a retracted, unlocking position in the case and an extended, locking position outside the case about a pivot axis perpendicular to the deadbolt axis.

Abstract: A lock (20) includes an operational device (35) having a disc (112) mounted to an inner side (16) of a door (10). A sleeve (70) is rotatably received in the disc (112) and includes an axial hole (78) having non-circular cross sections that are not changed after rotating 180°. A linking rod (106) includes an inner end (110) engaged in a hole (24) of a drive member (22) in a case (21) mounted in the door (10). A cover (58) is mounted around the disc (112) and includes a pivot hole (64). A handle (38) includes a pivotal portion (40) and a drive portion (42) formed on an end face of the pivotal portion (40). The drive portion (42) has cross sections the same as the axial hole (78) of the sleeve (70). The pivotal portion is (40) pivotably received in the pivot hole (64) of the cover (58). The drive portion (42) is engaged in the axial hole (78) of the sleeve (70).

Abstract: A multi-dimension detector with half bridge load cells, which includes an analog to digital converter (ADC), a plurality of half bridge load cells, a multiplexer and a central processing unit (CPU). The CPU controls the multiplexer to form a plurality of full bridge load cells by selecting either-two of the half bridge load cells and detect a plurality of measures corresponding to an object. The ADC converts analog signals corresponding to the plurality of measures into digital signals. The CPU determines all dimension values of the object according to the plurality of measures corresponding to the digital signals.

Abstract: A bolt assembly includes a bolt head, a draw bar, and a pin. The bolt head includes a latching portion and an attachment portion. The attachment portion includes an axial bore and a pin hole extending in a direction transverse to the axial bore and intersecting the axial bore. The draw bar includes a front end mounted in the axial bore of the attachment portion. The front end of the draw bar includes a notch that is aligned with the pin hole. The rear end of the draw bar includes a reference face in a fixed positional relationship to a bottom wall of the notch. The pin is mounted in the pin hole of the attachment portion and the notch of the draw bar, securing the bolt head and the draw bar together. The reference face indicates the orientation of the notch when the notch is received in the axial bore of the attachment portion.

Abstract: A lock includes a body, a wheel, an outside spindle, and a locking plug. The outside spindle includes a front end having an extension not in contact with a circumferential wall defining a through-hole of the wheel. When the locking plug is in an unblocking position allowing retraction operation of a latch bolt, the front end of the outside spindle is engaged with the wheel to allow joint rotation of the outside spindle and the wheel. When the locking plug is moved from the unblocking position to the blocking position not allowing retraction operation of the latch bolt, movement of a push member pushes the front end of the outside spindle away from the through-hole of the wheel such that the front end of the outside spindle is disengaged from the circumferential wall of the through-hole of the wheel, thereby disengaging the outside spindle from the wheel.

Abstract: The invention provides a novel microorganism Pseudonocardia sp. RMRC PAH4 characterized in that it is able to degrade high concentration of quinoline by enrichment culture, shows a high tolerance to compactin-sodium and possesses a high hydroxylation activity of converting compactin-sodium to pravastatin-sodium. The invention relates also a process for converting compactin-sodium into pravastatin-sodium by fermenting said novel microorganism Pseudonocardia sp. RMRC PAH4. Pravastain-sodium is a potent cholesterol-lowering agent used in treatment for hypercholesterolemia.
