  • Publication number: 20200001445
    Abstract: The present invention is applicable to the technical field of decoration tools and provides a chisel. The chisel comprises a housing; a first guide device arranged in the housing; and a cam mechanism disposed in the housing, wherein the cam mechanism comprises a first end cam and a second end cam which are fixedly connected together and have cam end faces opposite to each other, a connecting device connected with a power device is arranged on one side, opposite to the cam end face, of the first end cam, and the second end cam is a hollow cam; a hollow portion capable of passing through the second end cam, wherein the hollow portion is in contact with and matches the cam end faces of the two end cams, to drive a driven member for movement of a chisel body.

  • Patent number: 8712692
    Abstract: A method for determining a flux of a gas contained in a medium through a boundary of the medium comprises 1) measuring at least twice with a probe a concentration C of the gas over a time interval ?t and 2) determining the flux of the gas using the following mathematical equation: (I) where F is the gas flux, D is the diffusivity value and ?C is a variation in the gas concentration during the time interval ?t. The probe is placed proximate the boundary. The probe has a gas inlet, a cavity, a gas concentration sensor and a membrane. Each element is in fluid communication with each other so that the gas flows from the gas inlet through the membrane and contacts the gas concentration sensor.
