Abstract: This invention discloses a standard test method and an associated standard apparatus for evaluating the accuracy of mobile phone apps designed to measure concrete crack widths. The said standard apparatus comprises at least a standardized crack-width calibration plate (CWCP), a simulated wall (SW), a pose adjusting and fixing device (PAFD), and a spatial distance measuring assemblage (SDMA). The standard test method employs an innovative two-stage method associated with the SDMA to synchronously calculate and display the average distances (Ki, where i=1 to 4) from the four corner points of a mobile phone to the SW. With continuous feedback, the phone's spatial position can be adjusted using the PAFD until the four monitored Ki values match the target Ki. Subsequently, an app installed on the phone is used to measure crack widths on the CWCP.

Abstract: A synchronous control integrated system for bridge lifting, comprising a monitor mechanism; an oil pressure control mechanism, connected to the monitor mechanism; a plurality of jacks, each connected to the oil pressure mechanism, respectively; and a sensor mechanism, connected to the monitor mechanism. As such, a shift variance generated by girders of a bridge may form a signal by using a sensor mechanism and jacks together transmitted on line to a monitor mechanism as a control parameter, so that the monitor mechanism may have an accurate adjustment and monitoring on an oil pressure control mechanism and the jacks, whereby completing the synchronous control operation for the bridge lifting course. Furthermore, the bridge lifting construction may have its improved accuracy and safety.

Abstract: A thin jack device for bridge lifting is disclosed, comprising a base seat; a lifting unit, movably connected with the base seat; and a displacement sensor, disposed at a side of the base seat. In this manner, an arrangement may be applied when a gap altitude between a bridge girder and a pier is insufficient to reduce a risk possibility of violation of the bridge and pier, and a displacement sensors attached to stroke is used to monitor a raised altitude to reduce a mechanical error to promote safety and thereby sufficiently the current pier structure to save a temporarily used pier or a frame based design and construction, whereby increasing the construction safety and decreasing the construction cost.

Abstract: A multi-function peripheral mainly includes a casing, a scanning module and an inkjet printing module. The scanning module is located on the top side of the casing, including a scan platform and a dynamic scanning unit for capturing image data. The inkjet printing module is located below the scan platform and includes a dynamic printing unit for moving an ink cartridge to perform printing operations. The moving path of the ink cartridge is substantially normal to the longitudinal axis of the scan platform. When the ink cartridge is moved to a cartridge replacing position located on a distal end of the dynamic printing unit, it escapes from under the scan platform to facilitate cartridge replacement operations.

Abstract: A multi-function peripheral is able to process a plurality of functions such as printing, copying and scanning, and enables a power output device to selectively drive two different devices depending on required functions. The invention provides a switching mechanism, which can change delivery of power to the first device or the second device so that either the first device or the second device may be selected to process the desired function. The multi-function peripheral thus constructed does not need one dedicated power output device to match one working device and can reduce the number of power output devices required.
