Patent number: 11967919Abstract: A photovoltaic building material, which can safely generate electric power with solar power energy is disclosed. The photovoltaic building material can be used as building material, and can be directly installed on the fixed part of the building, such as roof, wall or decoration materials on the surface of building. The photovoltaic building material is accord with the architectural requirements of waterproof, fireproof, load-carrying ability, durability and heat-insulation. When this invention is installed on the roof, the automatic spraying device can be set up on the height of ridge, which realizes the functions of roof cleaning and cooling down by the automatic water spraying. Also, with the auxiliary device, this invention can intensify the ability to withstand strong winds for roof, and can ensure safety in the typhoon/hurricane area.Type: GrantFiled: July 1, 2021Date of Patent: April 23, 2024Assignee: Accelenergy Power Pte. Ltd.Inventors: Tsung-Hsin Chen, Yong-Xiang Cui, Keh-Tao Liu, Hisayoshi Kobayashi

Patent number: 9592423Abstract: A measuring system for analyzing a knee joint motion trajectory when a rider is riding a bike (cycling) and a measuring method thereof are disclosed. The measuring system includes a pedal-able device, a light emitting component fixed at a tibial plateau of the rider, an image capturing device, and a knee joint motion trajectory analysis device. When the rider continuously pedals the pedal-able device, the image capturing device captures an image of a central position of the rider's lower limb and a light spot trajectory image of the light emitting component. The motion trajectory analysis device generates an ellipse motion trajectory diagram. After comparing and analyzing a body central line with a trajectory long axis line, a foot force distribution and a shifting data of the knee joint motion trajectory is acquired, and a proper insole is determined.Type: GrantFiled: October 24, 2014Date of Patent: March 14, 2017Assignee: GLOBAL ACTION INC.Inventors: Po-Shin Li, Yu-Shin Chang, Keh-Tao Liu, Sai-Wei Yang

Patent number: 8914996Abstract: An antistatic insole is disclosed, which consists of one cover layer, one first layer body, one second layer body, one arch pad, and one heel pad. The insole is assembled with a cover layer on the surface of the first layer body and the second layer body below the first layer body and the heel pad and the arch pad are below the second layer body. The elasticity of the heel pad is more elastic and the arch pad less elastic than the first layer body. The contour of the surface of the first layer body follows that of the foot arch of a human body and acts coherently with that of the second layer body. The cover layer, the first layer body, and the second layer body are antistatic. The arch pad is equipped with antistatic and anti-fatigue functions according to various arch shapes of a human foot.Type: GrantFiled: February 9, 2012Date of Patent: December 23, 2014Assignee: Global Action Inc.Inventor: Keh-Tao Liu
