  • Patent number: 11034294
    Abstract: A driving notification method and a driving notification system are provided. The driving notification system is disposed on a mobile vehicle, and the driving notification method includes following steps. A surrounding image is captured through an image capturing device. A target object detection is performed to the surrounding image to obtain a target position of an image detection object. A gaze position of a driver is detected through an eye tracking device. Whether the gaze position matches the target position is determined. An alarm device is controlled to activate an alarming operation if the gaze position does not match the target position.

  • Publication number: 20080216816
    Abstract: A stove assembly includes a stove, a connecting pipe, and a gas supply source. The stove includes a pressure gauge that is connected to an end of the connecting pipe. The stove is connected by a pipe to an outlet of a regulator whose inlet is connected to a first end of a three-way pipe. The three-way pipe further includes a second end connected to the other end of the connecting pipe and a third end connected to the gas supply source. Gas from the gas supply source enters the pressure gauge via the connecting pipe to allow a gas remaining amount of the gas supply source to be read from the pressure gauge. Furthermore, gas from the supply source can be supplied to the stove via the three-way pipe and the regulator.

  • Patent number: 7114512
    Abstract: A gas safety valve includes a main body having a longitudinal through-hole consisting of a first section, a second section, and a third section with different inner diameters. A ball and a restraining member are mounted in the first section. A spring is mounted in the second section, with an end of the spring protruding out of the second section for biasing the ball away from the second section. An outer sleeve is force-fitted in the third section of the main body. A hollow adjusting block is mounted in the outer sleeve and has an outer threading for threadedly engaging with an inner threading of the outer sleeve. The other end of the spring abuts against the adjusting block. Adjustment of a position of the hollow adjusting block in the outer sleeve changes a distance between the ball and the second section.

  • Patent number: 6930640
    Abstract: A dual frequency band inverted-F antenna used for communicating a low frequency signal and a high frequency signal includes a substrate, a ground metal, a vortical metal structure, a short circuit leg, a feeding leg, and a terminal micro strip. The ground metal and the terminal micro strip are formed on the lower surface of the substrate. The vortical metal structure, formed on the upper surface of the substrate, further has a short circuit end and an open circuit end. The short circuit leg connects electrically the short circuit end of the vortical metal structure with the ground metal. The feeding leg extends along a predetermined direction of the vortical metal structure to couple with a feeding circuit on the substrate. The terminal micro strip connects electrically to the open circuit end through a first conductive aperture.
