Abstract: A mat with a thermostatic layer between two layers of foam to reduce heat accumulation and the manufacturing process thereof, which includes a supporting foam layer, an air permeable foam layer, and the thermostatic layer; wherein the thermostatic layer lies on the top side of the supporting foam layer and includes phase change material (PCM) microcapsules and a bonding material; the air permeable foam layer has larger pores than the supporting foam layer, and has its bottom side attached to the thermostatic layer, and is thus bonded to the supporting foam layer via the bonding material. When a user lies on the air permeable foam layer, the user's body skin is not directly pressed against the PCM microcapsules, thereby allowing the PCM microcapsules to communicate with the ambient air through the pores in the air permeable foam layer and to dissipate heat rapidly for keeping the mat cool.

Abstract: The present invention is to provide a monitoring system including a plurality of motion sensing carpets and a monitoring device (e.g., a computer) electrically connected to one of the motion sensing carpets serving as a control unit while all the other motion sensing carpets directly or indirectly joined to the control unit serves as auxiliary units. The monitoring device is able to carry out a topology algorithm and then establish a topology matrix of the motion sensing carpets in a stepwise manner so as to obtain the relative location of each motion sensing carpet. When any of the motion sensing carpets is subjected to pressure caused by a senior member or child in the family toppling over thereon (e.g., an accident) and generates a sensing signal, the monitoring device can rapidly know from the topology matrix the exact location of the accident according to the sensing signal.

Abstract: The present invention is to provide an imperceptible motion sensing device, which includes a non-conductive elastomer made of a pliable and elastic non-conductor (e.g., polyurethane) and having a bumpy side formed with at least one sunken portion thereon, at least one conductive fiber positioned in the at least one sunken portion respectively (e.g., by sewing), and a conductive elastomer made of a pliable and elastic conductor (e.g., a conductive foam or conductive rubber) and provided on the bumpy side of the non-conductive elastomer. When the sensing device is compressed by an external force, corresponding portions of the conductive elastomer and the non-conductive elastomer are compressed and deformed, causing contact and hence electrical connection between the conductive elastomer and the at least one conductive fiber. Thus, the imperceptible motion sensing device not only provides more accurate and more sensitive signal detection, but also ensures consistent performance even after long-term use.

Abstract: A traffic cone has an annular base and a hollow conical body. The annular base has an annular panel having multiple through holes, and multiple first feet protruding down from the annular panel. The conical body has a conical portion and a covering panel radially protruding from a bottom peripheral edge of the conical portion and wrapped on the annular panel. Moreover, even if the traffic cone is bumped or is run over by cars, the annular and the conical body do not separate from each other easily so the traffic cone has prolonged life for use.

Abstract: A supersonic pulverizing device includes a main body which is connected with at least two charging units. Each charging unit has a charging passage therein and at least one accelerating wind nozzle disposed at a front end of the charging passage. A source material and a charging air flow are delivered to the charging passage and an accelerating air flow is inputted to the accelerating wind nozzle, so that the charging air flow carries the source material to flow and enter the main body by the accelerating air flow at a supersonic speed and counter with the charging air flow from another charging unit. The source material can be effectively crashed to the desired powder. The source material is covered by the charging air flow, so the device won't be worn by the source material. The pulverizing device has a longer lifespan and can prevent the source material from being polluted.

Abstract: A traffic cone has a conical body and at least one reflective sleeve. The at least one reflective sleeve is mounted on and around a conical portion of the conical body. Multiple adhering portions and multiple non-adhering portions are alternately arranged on a laminating surface of the at least one reflective sleeve. The adhering portions are adhered to the conical portion of the conical body. Thus, even though the at least one reflective sleeve and the conical body are different materials and have different coefficients of thermal expansion, the non-adhering portions provide rooms for expansion of the conical portion and the at least one reflective sleeve. Therefore, the at least one reflective sleeve is capable of remaining smoothly and securely attached despite the traffic cone being exposed to significant variations in the temperature of the environment.
