Abstract: Water tanks, such as water heaters, are coated with an organic polymer coating, which coating contacts water during use of the water tank. The organic polymer coatings resist corrosion or blistering when used to store or contain water. The water tanks may be made by treating a metal surface prior to application of the organic polymer coating.

Abstract: A mobile phone equipped with a camera module comprises a phone body, a hinge and a lock element. The phone body defines a housing receiving space on one side thereof for receiving the camera module. The phone body further defines a side space and a hinge receiving hole both communicating with the housing receiving space for receiving the lock element and the hinge respectively. The camera module defines a hinge hole. The hinge has one end mounted in the hinge receiving hole and the other end placed into the hinge hole for connecting the phone body with the camera module pivotally. The lock element is placed in the side space for locking the camera module in the housing receiving space in which the camera module facing to one side. Once the lock element is unlocked, the camera module can be rotated out of the housing receiving space with the camera module facing to another side.

Abstract: A method for detecting errors in driving device of head light of vehicles utilizes a microprocessor control unit of a main circuit to detect the position of the driving shaft by checking the change of magnetic field or resistance of the driving member and the change of magnetic field or resistance is compared with a pre-set value to decide the position of the driving shaft. The motor is then commanded to drive the driving shaft to the pre-set position. The method detects the position of the head light before the drivers drive the vehicles on the road and if the head light is not in a desired position, the user can adjust the head light position to prevent potential risk on the road.

Abstract: A card connector assembly (1) includes an insulating housing (21, 22), a number of contacts (211, 222), a daughter board (7), a rear socket (8) and a spacer (6). The insulating housing (21, 22) defines a card receiving space. Each contact (211, 222) comprises a contacting portion and a soldering portion. The daughter board (7) comprises a plurality of conductive portions. The rear socket (8) is adapted to be mounted to a mother board and to electrically connect with the daughter board (7) to establish an electrical connection between the contacts (211, 222) and the mother board. The spacer (6) is formed with a holding portion (65) on lateral side faces thereof with one end assembled to the insulating housing (21, 22) and the other end mating with the daughter board (7) to securely hold the soldering portions of the contacts.

Abstract: A card connector comprises an insulating housing; a plurality of contacts retained in the insulating housing; a shielding being approximate encircled fame to defining a card receiving space with a card inserting opening at one end thereof along a card inserting direction and another opening cooperated with the housing at the other end thereof, the shielding having a pair of opposite side edges, one of the side edges being in substantially linear configuration and the other of the side edges being in a step configuration so that width of the card inserting opening is wider than that of the insulating housing.

Abstract: A pen includes a housing having a slot, an ink reservoir received in the housing, and a sheet material received in the housing and movable out of the housing via the slot of the housing for noting purposes. The housing includes a rotatable tube, and the sheet material may be wound around the tube, and a casing may be rotatably attached to the housing and coupled to the tube, to rotate the tube relative to the housing and thus to move the sheet material relative to the housing. The housing includes an anchor device engaged with the tube with such as teeth engagements to guide the tube to rotate relative to the housing.

Abstract: A new antifungal formulation is provided. The present invention uses a sterol modified with polyethylene glycol (PEG) as a drug carrier. The drug carrier encapsulates Amphotericin B (AmB) by self-assembly to form polymeric micelles. The polymeric micelles can reduce toxicity of Amphotericin B and control release of Amphotericin B. The polymeric micelles of Amphotericin B are used as a new antifungal formulation.

Abstract: A pipe joint for fiber reinforced composite pipe has internal and external matching tapers with a low taper angle. A half round helical groove is formed in each of the internal and external tapers for receiving several turns of a ductile key. The pipe joint is usable on high strength lightweight fiber reinforced composite pipe having helically wound steel strips embedded in the fiber reinforced resin. The pipe joint on such pipe is on an enlarged portion of glass fiber reinforced composite built up on an end of the pipe. The steel strips are terminated at differing distances from the end of the pipe joint and the ends of all of the steel strips are completely embedded in the fiber reinforced resin.

Abstract: A pipe joint for fiber reinforced composite pipe has internal and external matching tapers with a low taper angle. A half round helical groove is formed in each of the internal and external tapers for receiving several turns of a ductile key. Deformation of the key in shear redistributes longitudinal loads along the length of the pipe joint. The outer member of the pipe joint has a high stiffness so that internal pressure in the pipe presses the tapered surfaces together so that the resulting friction enhances the longitudinal load carrying capability of the joint. High external stiffness may be provided by winding the external moiety of the joint with high modulus of elasticity fiber. The pipe joint is sealed by introducing a liquid ductile thermosetting sealant between O-rings at the inner end of the joint. The seal can be nondestructively tested and deployed under water before the sealant cures.

Abstract: A switching converter includes first and second controllable switches, a power source coupled to the switches and a closed flux path. First and second primary windings are mutually inductively coupled through the closed flux path and are coupled to the first and second controllable switches, respectively. The first and second switches are operated together in synchronism and a secondary winding is inductively coupled with but electrically isolated from the first and second primary windings through the closed flux path. Each switch conducts only a portion of the power produced in the secondary winding and the problems of current sharing are avoided. Also, DC content that may be produced by the switches is blocked from the output.
