  • Patent number: 9057647
    Abstract: 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.

  • Publication number: 20070087087
    Abstract: An insulated logistic container includes an outer case, an inner case defining a receiving space for holding articles and being located in the outer case, an insulating material disposed in an insulation space formed between the outer and the inner case, and a top cover pivotally connected to a top of the outer case to openably close the receiving space. In a delivery system using such insulated logistic containers to deliver articles to clients, articles having similar product temperatures are positioned in the same insulated container. Eutectic plates or consumptive refrigerant, such as dry ice, is used together with the insulated logistic container to achieve good product temperature control, making the delivery system more efficient and cost-effective, and the insulating effect and the delivery efficiency thereof are improved.

  • Patent number: 7128805
    Abstract: 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.
