  • Publication number: 20100039057
    Abstract: In an anti-pinch method and device for controlling an openable and closable body, a driving circuit operatively drives a motor with a driving current to move the body relative to a frame body between closing and open positions. A current sensor generates a sensing signal corresponding to the driving current. A control unit calculates a difference between magnitude of the driving current and a reference current value upon detecting that the magnitude of the driving current is greater than the reference current value, and outputs an abnormal signal indicative of an object being pinched between the body and the frame body upon detecting that the difference is greater than a predetermined threshold value. The driving circuit is responsive to the abnormal signal from the control unit to perform one of stopping driving of the motor and driving the motor to move the body toward the open position.

  • Patent number: 6736866
    Abstract: The present invention discloses an emulsion fuel oil and its forming method. The emulsion fuel oil includes 550-800 parts by weight of a fuel oil, 200-450 parts by weight of a water, and 2-20 parts by weight of an additive including a non-ionic surfactant having an HLB (Hydrophilic-Lipophilic Balance) value ranged from 2.5 to 8, a combustion-assisting reagent, a stabilization reagent and a promotion reagent. The method for forming the emulsion fuel oil includes steps of (a) providing a mixture including 550-800 parts by weight of a fuel oil, 200-450 parts by weight of a water and 2-20 parts by weight of an additive, wherein the additive includes a non-ionic surfactant having an HLB (Hydrophilic-Lipophilic Balance) value ranged from 2.5 to 8, a combustion-assisting reagent, a stabilization reagent and a promotion reagent, (b) stirring the mixture by a shearing speed of 2-50 m/s at 70-95° C.

  • Patent number: 6638323
    Abstract: An emulsion fuel additive to be mixed with a fuel oil and water for forming an emulsion fuel oil is disclosed. The emulsion fuel oil additive includes an emulsion reagent for forming a water-in-oil (W/O) emulsion fuel oil with the fuel oil and the water, a combustion-assisting reagent for improving ignition and combustion of the emulsion fuel oil, a stabilization reagent for forming an interface membrane between the fuel oil and the water by a chemical reaction at a specific temperature, a promotion reagent for promoting emulsification of the fuel oil and the water and promoting the interface membrane formation by the stabilization reagent, and an antioxidant reagent for preventing deterioration of the emulsion fuel oil during storage.
