Patent number: 9057647Abstract: A detached-type temperature indicator and method for using the same is disclosed. The indicator includes a temperature sensing module and a temperature display module. These two modules are separated apart with a distance, and the temperature change sensed by the temperature sensing module can be displayed on the separate temperature display module without using any power sources. This indicator is suitable for observing the magnetic sensing patterns which reflect the temperature variations within the package from the exterior of the package without opening the package. Also, this indicator may be used repeatedly.Type: GrantFiled: September 8, 2013Date of Patent: June 16, 2015Assignee: Industrial Technology Research InstituteInventors: Jian-Ren Chen, Leii H.

Patent number: 7128805Abstract: A plasma generating device, has a plurality of cavities shaped like half-ellipsoids, a plasma cavity, and microwave sources. The present invention takes advantage of geometrical properties of the propagation of electromagnetic waves by enclosing an electromagnetic field in the microwave range in overlapping cavities that together are shaped like a plurality of half ellipsoids. Each of the cavities has a first focus and a second focus, with the first foci of the cavities place close to each other. Microwaves entering the cavities at the second foci propagate inside the cavity and are focused at the first foci. The area around the first foci of both half ellipsoids forms a plasma cavity, providing a large volume filled with a microwave field. Thereby an increased volume of an electromagnetic field and thus of a plasma is achieved.Type: GrantFiled: August 13, 2003Date of Patent: October 31, 2006Assignee: Industrial Technology Research InstituteInventors: Wen-Liang Huang, Ting-Wei Huang, Jau-Chyn Huang, Ching-Sung Hsiao, Ju-Chia Kuo
