  • Patent number: 8699296
    Abstract: A dynamic phase shifter and staticizer circuit and method includes a clock domino configured to receive a phase memory signal from a memory array and a clock signal and output the intermediate signal, and a staticizer configured to receive the intermediate signal from the clock domino and the clock signal and output a static memory signal. The static memory signal is shifted by one clock cycle from the phase memory signal. Setup and holding is done with respect to the clock edge, shifting the output of the clock domino, and the received phase memory signal can borrow into the next cycle when being sampled. The phase memory signal is converted from a half-cycle in length to the static memory signal that is a full-cycle in length.

  • Publication number: 20090045198
    Abstract: A waste container includes a metal body (11) having a peripheral wall (111) defining a compartment (112) for receiving a garbage bag (15). Mounted above the body (11) is a cover (13) having a lid (133) movable between an open position and a closed position. An electrostatic device (2) is mounted to the cover (13) and operably connected to the lid (133). The lid (133) is moved from the open position to the closed position when the human body is within a detection range of a sensor (21) of the electrostatic device (2). A hollow frame (12) is mounted between the body (11) and the cover (13) and includes a perimeter wall (121) made of non-electrically conductive material. The body (11) is spaced from the cover (13) by the perimeter wall (121) and located outside the detection range of the sensor (21), preventing electrostatic interaction between the body (11) and the sensor (21).

  • Publication number: 20070071366
    Abstract: A bottle bag includes a body made of neoprene-filled temperature-maintaining cloth. The body includes a front wall and a rear wall, delimiting a top opening and at least two compartments adapted to receive bottles. A bottom portion is fixed to a bottom end of the body and made of neoprene-filled temperature-maintaining cloth. The bottom portion includes at least two substantially circular sections and a neck section between a pair of the at least two substantially circular sections. The bottom portion of the bottle bag is flat enough to allow the bottle bag to stand on its own after the bottles have been placed into the compartments of the bottle bag while providing a longer temperature-maintaining effect.

  • Publication number: 20060242990
    Abstract: A temperature-maintaining device includes a temperature-maintaining member delimiting a space in which a container is removably received. The temperature-maintaining member includes an inner layer, an outer layer, and a temperature-maintaining layer between the inner layer and the outer layer. The inner layer and the outer layer are made of nylon, polyester, or polyurethane. The temperature-maintaining layer is made of neoprene. At least one chilling member is mounted to an inner face of the inner layer of the temperature-maintaining member. The chilling member cools the container to the desired temperature range, and the temperature-maintaining member provides an excellent temperature-maintaining effect.

  • Publication number: 20060191945
    Abstract: A metal container includes a metal tubular body, a metal base, and a coupling member. A stop is formed on an inner periphery delimiting a bottom opening of the tubular body. The base includes a receiving portion on a top thereof for coupling with a bottom end of the tubular body. An abutting portion extends inward from the receiving portion. The coupling member is mounted in the base and the tubular body. The coupling member includes a tubular wall and a bottom wall. An outer flange extends radially outward from the bottom wall. The coupling member further includes a plurality of protrusions on an outer periphery of the tubular wall. The stop of the tubular body and the abutting portion of the base are sandwiched between the protrusions such that the bottom end of the tubular body is reliably received in the receiving portion of the base.

  • Patent number: 6813996
    Abstract: A juicer includes a base, a column extending upright from the base, a head securely attached to an upper end of the column, a vertical rod extending vertically through the head, a Y-shaped handle having a main section and two arms branching from an end of the main section, and two connecting rods. A connecting member is securely attached to a lower end of the vertical rod. The distal ends of the arms of the handle are connected to the head by an axle. The lower ends of the connecting rods are pivotally connected to two ears respectively on two sides of the connecting member. The upper ends of the connecting rods are pivotally connected to two lugs formed on intermediate portions of the arms. Oil grooves are provided in the ears, in the lugs, and in two ends of the axle, allowing smooth operation of the juicer.

  • Patent number: 6793104
    Abstract: A cork device comprises a cork member and a control member. The cork member comprises a lower end to be inserted into a mouth of a bottle and an upper end. The lower end of the cork member including a liquid passage having a lower end communicated with an interior of the bottle and an upper end. The control member is pivotally mounted to the upper end of the cork member and movable between a sealing position and an open position. The control member includes a liquid outlet passage. The upper end of the liquid passage of the cork member is blocked by the control member when the control member is in the sealing position. The upper end of the liquid passage of the cork member is communicated with atmosphere via the liquid outlet passage when the control member is in the open position.
