Abstract: The present invention discloses a process for refining Ganoderma spore polysacchoride. The process comprise the step of: Remove the impurity in the Ganoderma spores, warm water extraction, alcohol precipitation, separate precipitate, obtain the impure polysacchoride, adjust pH to 7.5-8.5, centrifuge to removal deposit, take out supernatent, add H2O2 to decolor, deproteined by sevag method, dialyses, alcohol precipitation, wash the precipitate, dry in the vacuum to get the pure Ganoderma spore polysacchoride.

Abstract: A lighter includes a flint igniter igniting a flame positioned adjacent to a torch nozzle thereof to light up gas emitted from the torch nozzle to form a torch in which the gas released from a gas container of the lighter is distributed to have portion emitted from a flame outlet for producing the flame while the other portion is emitted from the torch nozzle and ignited by the flame produced at the flame outlet. After lighting up the gas to form the torch, the gas from the flame outlet is blocked to stop the ignition flame.

Abstract: Transparent conducting oxide thin films having a reduced indium content and/or an increased tin content are provided. In addition, processes for producing the same, precursors for producing the same, and transparent electroconductive substrate for display panels and organic electroluminescence devices, both including the transparent conducting oxide thin films, are provided.

Abstract: Inorganic semiconducting compounds, composites and compositions thereof, and related device structures.

Abstract: An electronically-frequency-controlled voltage adjustment device comprises a power supply for providing voltages to an object; a temperature sensor for sensing temperatures of the object; a temperature control unit receiving temperature signals from the temperature sensor and outputting temperature variation signals; a voltage adjustment unit for adjusting output voltages of the power supply based on the temperature variation signals from the temperature control unit; and a frequency generator for generating oscillating current intermittently. Furthermore, a method for unfreezing and retaining the freshness of foods is also provided. The method uses the electronically-frequency-controlled voltage adjustment device to various freezing device and fries device so as to retain the freshness of foods.

Abstract: A pen, comprising: a tip for writing, a tongue means for supplying ink for said tip, a neck assembling said tip and said tongue means together, a storage for storing ink, a pen rod, and a pen cap for protecting said tip, characterized by further comprising a divider provided in said storage, dividing said storage into a first storage chamber and a second storage chamber, and, a shifter for making said divider close or open. The pen according to the invention stores sufficient ink and suffers no leakage.

Abstract: A method for bonding two or more optical parts and an optical apparatus of using the method are disclosed. According to one embodiment, two optical fiber segments are used as a spacer between two optical parts. The optical fiber segments may be cut off from a commonly used optical fiber according to the size of the parts. In general, the diameter of the optical fiber segments is small, the capillary effect for commonly used adhesives can be eliminated when the two optical parts are bonded with the optical fiber segments in between.

Abstract: A windproof lighter includes a gas directing arrangement including a torch nozzle, a gas nozzle, and a gas directing unit including a torch directing conduit and a gas directing conduit for directing a flow of gas toward the torch nozzle and the gas nozzle respectively. A gas detouring unit is movably mounted to the casing to block up the flow of gas passing through the gas directing conduit while the torch directing conduit is remained open. An ignition system installed into the casing for producing sparks directed toward the gas nozzle to ignite the gas emitted from the gas nozzle to provide a visible flame, so as to ignite the gas emitted from the torch nozzle to provide a torch flame. Therefore, the lighter is capable of providing the torch and visible flames at the same time and providing only the torch flame while operating the gas detouring unit.

Abstract: Improved designs of fiber collimators that include an asymmetric sleeve are disclosed. According to one embodiment of the present invention, the asymmetric sleeve is so shaped that, when arranged next to each other, two collimators with the asymmetric sleeve achieves a lateral distance shorter than the outer diameter of the collimators, which makes it possible to design smaller optical components without effecting the performance and characteristics thereof.
