  • Patent number: 11916273
    Abstract: A rotary joint includes a shaft having a first end, a second end, and a cavity. The rotary joint includes a first waveguide section having a first proximal end and a first distal end. The first proximal end of the first waveguide section is positioned within the cavity and secured to the inner surface of the shaft. The rotary joint includes a second waveguide section that includes a second proximal end and a second distal end. The second proximal end of the second waveguide section is positioned within the cavity of the shaft and unsecured to the inner surface of the shaft to form a radial gap between an outer surface of the second proximal end and a laterally adjacent portion of the inner surface of the shaft. The shaft and the first waveguide section are configured to rotate about the rotational axis and relative to the second waveguide section.

  • Patent number: 8176588
    Abstract: An inflatable furniture comprises: a receiving body, a plurality of side-board-connecting members, airbag-connecting members, a pump, a power supply, two airbags, and an audio device. By opening the side boards and inflating the airbags, the airbags can be inflated into beds or sofas, and when after use, the airbags can be deflated and folded into the receiving body. Furthermore, the receiving body can also be temporarily used as a tea table or a stool.

  • Publication number: 20100123340
    Abstract: An inflatable sofa set comprises a receiving body, a pump and at least one airbag which is received in the receiving body. The airbag is connected to the pump. When in use, the user drives the pump to inflate the airbag into a sofa for the user to sit on, or to deflate the airbag for storage. Thereby, the sofa set is simple and is convenient for storage.

  • Patent number: 6243185
    Abstract: An optical scanner for retrieving digital images of opaque and transmissive objects. The scanner of the present invention includes a scanner body, a docking port, and a removable scanning platform. An object to be scanned is placed on the scanning platform, which is subsequently loaded into scanner body for scanning. Inside the scanner body, a sensor module, including a first light source and an image-retrieving device, is disposed above the docked scanning platform; a support frame, on which is disposed a second light source, is disposed below the docked scanning platform. A connecting rod engages the sensor module and the support frame, and a driving device synchronously moves the sensor module and the support frame along a longitudinal axis. In a first embodiment, the scanning platform can include an adhesive tape for adhering an opaque object to be scanned to the surface of the scanning platform.

  • Patent number: 6110810
    Abstract: A method of forming channel for metal oxidation semiconductor in the integrated circuits. The manufacturing process is as following: a layer of amorphous silicon is deposited after forming the gate oxide, and ion implantation for forming channel is performed, then a doped polysilicon layer and a silicide layer are deposited orderly, finally the whole structure is defined to form a gate electrode. The key point of the current invention is the addition of amorphous silicon. This amorphous silicon can prevent the direct bombardment of implanted ions to the gate oxide, it can also avoid the diffusion of polysilicon dopant into the gate oxide, therefore, the electrical properties of transistor will be made stable. In addition, the native oxide spontaneously produced between amorphous silicon and polysilicon along with process is very even and plain, it is profitable to planarization when subsequently depositing other layers.
