Abstract: The present invention applies management frame defined in IEEE 802.11 standard to a wireless distribution system (WDS) mode by adding an information element (IE) into the management frame, which enables any access point (AP) in WDS to maintain IE based on its own setting and state, then send IE via the management frame for providing state of the AP under WDS mode, determine whether a physical link (i.e., a wireless link between APs) should be established therewith based on received IE, and maintain the established physical link through the wireless management frame in a real time manner. Thus, the existence and necessity of the physical link between different APs in WDS can be determined correctly.

Abstract: A process of a catalytic combustion is disclosed. The process can be started at a cold temperature and then raised to a desired high temperature in a very short time by employing a noble metal catalyst dispersed on a supporting material. Moreover, a method for dispersing a noble metal catalyst used in the catalytic combustion is also disclosed for increasing a specific surface area of the catalyst so as to facilitate the catalytic combustion. Furthermore, a substance including a promoter dispersing a metal catalyst therewith, and a supporting material supporting the promoter with the metal catalyst is also disclosed, so that a contact surface area of the metal catalyst can be increased, thereby the catalytic combustion can be initiated within a very short period.

Abstract: A transport system. The transport system comprises a first interbay component, a second interbay component, a plurality of intrabay components, and a route controller. The first and second interbay components transport the vehicles between the tool bays. Each of the intrabay components, linked with the second interbay component, transports the vehicles within one of the tool bays. Additionally, the intrabay component does not link with the first interbay component directly. The route controller estimates a transport cost for transporting the vehicle via the second interbay device, and determines whether the vehicle is to be transported via the first or second interbay component according to the estimated transport cost.

Abstract: A class-D audio amplifier is protected by thermal regulation which decreases the gain of the class-D audio amplifier by asserting an over-temperature signal when the temperature of the class-D audio amplifier is detected to be higher than a threshold. The output of the class-D audio amplifier is therefore reduced by the smaller gain, and the chance for the class-D audio amplifier to stop working due to overheating is greatly reduced.

Abstract: A driving system and a driving method for motion pictures are described, using an input, a black image insertion module, an advanced overdrive module, and a partial frame rate control module. The input receives a first frame and a second frame in order. The black image insertion module inserts a single fixed gray level frame between the first frame and the second frame. The advanced overdrive module increases the second frame to (n+a) bits and converts the same to the overdrive image, in which the first frame and the second frame are n bits. The partial frame rate control module smoothes the overdrive image and converts the same to an output image to refresh the pixels from the single fixed gray level frame to the second frame.

Abstract: A method for removing particles Particles are removed from a high pressure flow stream entails by flowing the high pressure flow stream into an inlet of a high pressure trap and flowing the flow stream from the inlet into a tube in the high pressure trap. The tube is adapted to accelerate the flow stream. The flow stream leaves the tube and de-accelerates as the stream flows into a chamber. The method continues by contacting the The flow stream with contacts a plate wound helically around an outside surface of the tube. The plate creates a cyclonic effect with in the flow stream to remove particles from the flow stream. The particles are collected in a reservoir. The remaining Remaining particles are removed by flowing the flow stream towards a side outlet over the plate. The methods end by collecting the The remaining particles are collected in a the reservoir forming collected particles and dumping the . The collected particles are periodically dumped from the reservoir.
