  • Patent number: 8291737
    Abstract: An automatic extrusion device includes a main body, a driving unit, a first transmission unit, a second transmission unit and an extrusion unit. The second transmission unit has a clutch slip function for the automatic extrusion device to extrude the front of the pipe to be in the form of a bell for a fast connection of pipes. Through the slip function of the second transmission unit, it not only prevents the extrusion unit from over extrusion but also makes the front end of the pipe round so as to beautify the interface of the pipe.

  • Publication number: 20090169730
    Abstract: Metallic nanoparticles are provided which can be used in forming metallic film conductors at reduced temperatures compatible with plastic carriers for the film conductors. This is realized by using a lower molecular weight organic encapsulant of the nanoparticle and thereby reducing the temperature at which the organic encapsulant evaporates. Further, the sintering or melting temperature of the metallic nanoparticle is reduced by using a lower sized nanoparticle, thereby increasing the particle surface area relative to the particle volume and thus reducing the required heat and melting temperature of the particle.

  • Publication number: 20090131809
    Abstract: The present invention discloses a respiration sensor, which is attached to a testee and comprises a triaxial acceleration sensing unit, a microprocessor, and at least one alarm unit. The triaxial acceleration sensing unit detects the respiration-related movements of a testee and output a detection signal. The microprocessor connects with the triaxial acceleration sensing unit, receives the detection signal and transforms the detection signal into a respiration signal to determine the respiration state of the testee. When the respiration signal is lower than a standard, the microprocessor triggers the alarm unit to give out an alarm to alert the persons nearby.

  • Patent number: 7490980
    Abstract: The present invention discloses a method for calibrating an infrared thermometer, which can obtain a sensitivity of a radiation sensor of an infrared thermometer and a reference resistance of an ambient-temperature sensor of the infrared thermometer. The method of the present invention uses an infrared thermometer to detect two test objects respectively placed in two environments having different ambient temperatures to obtain output signals of the radiation sensor and resistances of the ambient-temperature sensor from the two test objects. Then, the method of the present invention uses the output signals of the radiation sensor and the resistances of the ambient-temperature sensor to work out the sensitivity of the radiation sensor and the reference resistance of the ambient-temperature sensor.

  • Publication number: 20070071066
    Abstract: The present invention discloses an infrared clinical thermometer device, wherein the ear thermometer casing has at least three light indicators; according to the measured temperature value, the microprocessor inside the casing generates a control signal and outputs the control signal to one of the light indicators; the control signal enables the light indicator to emit light to indicate to the user the state of the measured body temperature. In the present invention, light of different colors are used to indicate to the user the state of the measured body temperature; thus, the user can learn whether the body temperature is in the health state or in a fever state without watching the display but directly from the color of the emitted light; therefore, the operational convenience is greatly promoted.

  • Publication number: 20070014328
    Abstract: An infrared clinical thermometer circuit device and a memory selection device thereof are proposed, in which the basal body temperature setting function is added to an infrared clinical thermometer so that the clinical thermometer can set an exclusive basal body temperature value for each user as the reference for determining whether he gets a temperature, thereby making the determination more accurate. Moreover, the memory selection device is used to expand the application of the infrared clinical thermometer. The infrared clinical thermometer can be used for several users and thus apply to multi-member families, hence enhancing the convenience of use of the infrared clinical thermometer.

  • Publication number: 20020191670
    Abstract: An infrared radiation ear thermometer has an optical system, an infrared detector, an ambient temperature sensor, and display unit, a signal processing section. Wherein, the infrared detector further includes an infrared sensor and a temperature reference sensor; the infrared sensor is deposition on the substrate and the temperature reference sensor is mount near the substrate of the infrared detector to convert the infrared signal into an electrical signal and sense the reference temperature separately. The ambient temperature sensor is set in the space near the optical system to detect the fast change of the ambient temperature. The signal processing section receives the signals from these temperature sensors to produce an offset by a mathematical algorithm. The offset is used to correct the temperature reading and maintain a high precision even though the ear thermometer suffers from an extreme temperature change.
