  • Publication number: 20230341068
    Abstract: A modular valve island 100 comprising a plurality of valves, a supply exhaust module 6, a data communication module 7 and a diagnostic module 8. At least one of the plurality of valves has at least one integrated sensor configured to detect an operating condition of the modular valve island. The at least one integrated sensor is electrically connected to the diagnostic module 8, to send sensor signals thereto. The diagnostic module 8 is configured to receive and process the sensor signals therein to identify the operating condition. The modular valve island 100 is configured to provide data relating to the operating condition of the modular valve island 100 via at least one of: a user interface provided in the diagnostic module 8; an industrial Ethernet link; or a wireless network and/or cloud communication link.

  • Publication number: 20200342847
    Abstract: An elastic sound generating device, comprising an elastic sounding body integrally formed of an elastic material, the elastic sounding body having therein one or more sound amplified holes which can be pressed to adhere and then released to generate vibration and sound, and the sound amplified hole is opened through an outer surface of the elastic sounding body. The elastic sounding body is pressed and deformed until inner walls of the sound amplified hole adhere to each other, and then the elastic sounding body is released to restore the original shape and separate the inners wall of the sound amplified hole, and when the inner walls of the sound amplified hole are separated from each other, a sound is generated. The generated sound as a detectable signal is a solution for the range of motion of the training joint, the strength of the output and the shortest duration.

  • Publication number: 20180027952
    Abstract: The present invention relates to expandable styling garment apparatuses, systems, and methods. Specifically, the present invention relates to a first section made of absorbent material and a second ring-shaped section made of elastic material, the second section disposed roughly centrally in the first section. Even more specifically, the present invention relates to placing the first and second sections over a user in a first configuration for use in a first application and subsequently and/or alternatively placing the first and second sections in a second configuration for use in a second application. The first and second sections may be expandable.

  • Publication number: 20160317941
    Abstract: The present invention discloses a bubble blowing device comprising a body; a bubble making unit horizontally located in the body for making bubbles by air flowing in the bubble making unit; a power supply disposed in the body; and a sound and/or light generating unit disposed in the body which is electrically connected to the power supply so that when air flows into the bubble making unit, the sound and/or light generating unit can be actuated to generate sound and/or light, while bubbles may be made by the bubble making unit simultaneously. Sound and/or light can be automatically carried out by adding a sound and/or light generating unit in the device, while bubbles with different sizes can be formed simultaneously. Thus, this device can be definitely more attractive than those in prior art.

  • Patent number: 5184814
    Abstract: A basketball training device which is a combination of a generally circular first upper member and a generally circular second lower member, with the second lower member rotatable with respect to the first upper member. The combination is attached to a conventional basketball hoop by means of mounting clamps positioned on the first circular member. The lower member terminates in a lateral direction such that it directs the return of the basketball to a specific location. The second bottom member is capable of being rotated 360 degrees with respect to the first member is directly attached to a basketball hoop.
