  • Publication number: 20240043244
    Abstract: A method for inspecting twist of wire ropes is provided. The wire ropes support an elevator car, and each of the wire ropes includes a plurality of strands. The method is to be implemented by a processor and includes steps of: obtaining, for each of the wire ropes during movement of the elevator car, a number of strand segments that are present within a predetermined length of the wire rope; and comparing the numbers of strand segments that are obtained respectively for the wire ropes for analyzing the twist of the wire ropes, wherein the wire ropes are determined as having equal extent of twist when it is determined that the numbers of strand segments are identical, and the wire ropes are determined as having distinct extent of twist when it is determined that the numbers of strand segments are different from each other.

  • Patent number: 7816194
    Abstract: A method of manufacturing thin film transistor is provided, in which the method of manufacturing includes a new etching process of island semiconductor. The new etching process of island semiconductor is controlled by a flow rate of etching gas and a regulation of etching power. When etching the island semiconductor, a part of gate insulation layer exposed out of the island semiconductor is etched at the same time. Consequently, the thickness of gate insulation layer over the storage capacitance electrode is reduced, the distance between the pixel electrode and the storage capacitance electrode is decreased, and the storage capacitance of pixel is increased. Finally, the width of storage capacitance electrode is reduced appropriately and the aperture ratio of product is increased.

  • Publication number: 20100093332
    Abstract: A profile changing system and method of a mobile phone set a task name and schedule time of a task, and predetermine a profile during the schedule time of the task in an electronic calendar of the mobile phone. The profile changing system and method further changes a default profile to the predetermined profile during the schedule time of the task, and restore the default profile when the task ends.

  • Publication number: 20090125807
    Abstract: A method for wordwise predictive Chinese character input includes following steps of: inputting a first Chinese character; generating a first prediction list of Chinese characters; displaying the first Chinese character and the first prediction list of Chinese characters; storing the first Chinese character and the first prediction list of Chinese characters; inputting a second Chinese character or selecting a second Chinese character; generating a second prediction list of Chinese characters; displaying the second Chinese character and the second prediction list of Chinese characters; storing the second Chinese character and the second prediction list of Chinese characters; deleting the second Chinese character and the second prediction list of Chinese characters if a clear key is pressed; and displaying the first Chinese character and the first prediction list of Chinese characters.

  • Publication number: 20090097197
    Abstract: A side plate that allows the locations of heat-dissipating holes to be arranged includes a plate, a plurality of sealed sealing blocks and a plurality of air-hole blocks having air holes. The plate is provided with a through hole occupying a considerable area thereof and a plurality of sliding rails that are arranged at intervals to straddle on the through hole. Each of the sealing blocks and each of the air-hole blocks have substantially the same size and the same shape. Two adjacent sliding rails have a predetermined pitch therebetween to accommodate the air-hole blocks or the sealing blocks, whereby the air-hole blocks and the sealing blocks are arranged in array fashion to cover the through hole.

  • Patent number: 5766871
    Abstract: A method of screening for a given enzyme in colony-forming cells using a substrate of the enzyme that has low solubility. Use of such a method leads to the discovery of glutaryl-7-aminocephalosporanic acid (GL-7-ACA) acylase of Pseudomonas nitroreducens. Also disclosed is a method of obtaining GL-7-ACA acylase from Pseudomonas cells.
