  • Patent number: 11365817
    Abstract: Disclosed is a high flow valve seat for a water control valve, including a main body, wherein the main body has one end and a circumferential part. The main body forms a waterway and several flow channels which straight extend from the end into the main body respectively. The main body forms several through holes connected to the flow channels respectively. The flow channel is formed of a first wall surface, a second wall surface and a third wall surface. The first wall surface is laterally adjacent to the circumferential part. The second wall surface and the third wall surface abut on both sides of the first wall surface respectively, and the second wall surface and the third wall surface extend away from the circumferential part respectively, so as to enlarge the cross-section area of the flow channel and to increase the flow of water to the valve core structure.

  • Patent number: 11067198
    Abstract: Disclosed is steering drive device for a pressing-controlled valve core, the steering drive device including a fixed top frame, a lifting drive rod, a vertical guide column, a lifting receiving seat, a fork-shaped swinging member, and a steering linkage. The steering linkage has an end that swings laterally when being moved, and the laterally swinging end is provided with a through hole for the fork-shaped swinging member to drive the swing arm, and cause the horizontal post to axially slide. The vertical cross-section of the through hole is rectangular, and the drive horizontal column has a range of up and down movement space in it, so that, when the drive swing arm generates lateral displacement due to vertical swing, it will pull the steering linkage along a circular path laterally moving, and at the same time drives the valve to rotate the actuating seat and cause it rotate laterally.

  • Patent number: 11024243
    Abstract: An electronic device may generate content that is to be displayed on a display. The display may have an array of liquid crystal display pixels for displaying image frames of the content. The image frames may be displayed with positive and negative polarities to help reduce charge accumulation effects. A charge accumulation tracker may analyze the image frames to determine when there is a risk of excess charge accumulation. The charge accumulation tracker may analyze information on gray levels, frame duration, and frame polarity. The charge accumulation tracker may compute a charge accumulation metric for entire image frames or may process subregions of each frame separately. When subregions are processed separately, each subregion may be individually monitored for a risk of excess charge accumulation.

  • Patent number: 10856740
    Abstract: A thermoacoustic imaging device is provided having a transmitter configured to provide an electromagnetic transmit signal (e.g. a continuous sinusoidal signal) to an object being imaged. The transmit signal is a modulated continuous-wave signal based on a carrier frequency signal fc modulated at a modulation frequency at or near fm. The detector is further configured to receive an acoustic signal from the object being imaged, and is responsive to acoustic frequencies at or near 2fm. A non-linear thermoacoustic effect in the object being imaged generates the acoustic signal from the object being imaged. Spectroscopic maps could be generated and imaged object could be analyzed. The device enhances signal-to-noise ratio of the reconstructed image and reduces the requirement of peak power in thermoacoustic imaging systems. In addition, the generated pressure of the imaged object is separated from microwave leakage and feedthrough in frequency through the nonlinear thermoacoustic effect.
