  • Patent number: 5192895
    Abstract: A synchronously-controlled light string includes a plurality of light string units, each of which has a plug in one end and a socket in the other end, thereby allowing the light string units to be coupled together. Each light string unit has a control circuit and a plurality of lights. When the control circuit receives an AC power source signal, the signal is rectified, and frequency divided to obtain a train of clock pulses which are sent to a shifting circuit and a pattern selection circuit to control a driving circuit to drive the lights with a predetermined frequency.

  • Patent number: 4667608
    Abstract: A rubbish treating apparatus in which the rubbish is gathered, separated, and crushed, after that the crushed rubbish is transferred to a magnetic conveyor, such that ferro-metallic rubbish and non ferro-metallic rubbish are separated. The non ferro-metallic rubbish is then transferred to a pressing device in which the rubbish is pressed, and finally the rubbish is further crumbled and burned in a burner. The gas produced while burning is purified, therefore such procedure can be used to solve the problem of pollution due to rubbish.
