  • Publication number: 20240190763
    Abstract: A belite-ye'elimite-ternesite cement clinker includes: ye'elimite: 20-50 wt. %; ternesite: 24-50 wt. %; belite: 10-35 wt. %; and free-calcium sulfate (f-C$): 2-10 wt. %. The composition of cement clinker includes an appropriate amount of ye'elimite minerals, ensuring fast early hydration and high early strength of the cement clinker. The cement clinker further includes a certain amount of free-calcium sulfate (f-C$), and is characterized by its good grindability, leading to decreased energy and mechanical losses essential for clinker grinding. This environmentally conscious and energy-efficient method aligns with the global objective of reducing carbon emissions.

  • Publication number: 20240190764
    Abstract: A low-carbon cement clinker, having the following parameter ranges: alkalinity coefficient C: 1.0?C?1.5; aluminum-sulfur ratio P: P<1.92; aluminum-silicon ratio N: N<1; and limestone saturation coefficient Cs: 0.9?Cs<1.0. The specific range of each parameter value ensures an idea ratio of mineral composition in the low-carbon cement clinker. The ratio promotes a coordinated interaction among different minerals and compounds present when exposed to water, leading to improved strength development and overall performance of the final cement product.

  • Patent number: 11004584
    Abstract: The present invention relates to an electric track system which can accommodate various appliance module using magnetic positioning. It supplements the missing functions of the current electric tracks, i.e., permitting the mixed use of the track-based fans and lights. This newly designed track can also be mounted to the wall for safe use of various electric appliances. The electric track system with magnetic positioning provides great flexibility, personal comfort and energy efficiency in both air circulation and room illumination for commercial and residential environments. With this system, various electric appliances can be mounted onto the track in a safe and quick way. A magnetic telescopic control rod is used to adjust the positions of the electric appliances in the ceiling-mounted track, like fans and lights. It brings safety and convenience to everyday life at affordable cost.

  • Patent number: 10736375
    Abstract: There have been many types of sports shoes varying in design and material. The market-leading sports shoes are Nike and Asics. Nike is famous for its patented Air Max technology and Asics for its unique liquid cushioning element technology. These are excellent shoes in its own category. Yet, sports players are also looking for a shoe that can switch between the hi-rebound high performance sports mode and soft-cushioned regular mode conveniently. Our new design of the shoe sole tackles this task with a unique approach. We design the shoe sole into three zones according to its dynamic feature and fill the corresponding zones with different foaming material and an interchangeable compact MagLev module. This new design meets the challenge and opens up a new way for shoe manufacturing.

  • Patent number: 10742140
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a innovative magnetic tension lock(MTL) control system which guides the MagLev module in both vertical and horizontal movement. The MagLev module moves on its inherent magnetic force and is guided by the MTL control system. The MagLev module with MTL control system can be used in products of various applications. It can be made at efficient cost to perform unique function. It can provide magnetic cushioning, which is great for seat, bed and other body-supporting furniture. It can also be applied as a cushioning layer against outside impact, thus it can be mounted onto the surface of heavy duty equipment or even the vessel sailing in icy water. It functions on its magnetic energy for load capacity and only requires compact battery power for its MTL control system. Thus it saves energy and reduces impact on the environment. It can replace the traditional MagLev module that runs on electricity otherwise.

  • Publication number: 20200235581
    Abstract: The present invention provides a parallel method for two electrical generators, more particularly, a parallel method for controlling a Micro-turbine Generator (MTG) in parallel with a traditional Reciprocating Generator (RG). A parallel protection equipment is designed to connect with both the Micro-turbine Generator (MTG) and the traditional Reciprocating Generator (RG) in parallel operation during the Micro-turbine Generator (MTG) regular inspection and maintenance without the power shutoff under the safe condition. The parallel protection equipment comprises a plurality of power resistors, terminal blocks, a breaker, a 24V control relay and a bypass contactor. In addition, the present invention provides bypass contactor control through a monitoring signal contributed by the traditional Reciprocating Generator (RG) working in parallel or by a customer control panel.

  • Patent number: 10709257
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a multi-function mattress composed of MagLev suspension, stretched net surface and adjustable underneath elastic cushion modules for optimized body contour-fitting and head-shoulder-neck massage by the motorized roller. This mattress design provides a unique solution to achieve the best body contour-fitting with a simple structure. The MagLev suspension technology helps generate the best support for the entire body during the sleep. It also provides comfort and relaxation that is associated with the sleep-cool technique, which is achieved through the underneath hollow structure. This mattress can be made at efficient cost to perform multi-function. The energy-efficient design also reduces its impact on the environment.

  • Patent number: 10437760
    Abstract: A method to intercept an universal serial bus (USB) related request and to respond the intercepted request in a virtualized environment includes connecting a virtual USB peripheral controller in a virtualization software in the virtualized environment to a virtual machine in the virtualized environment. An USB data access request generated by the virtual machine may be intercept by the virtual USB peripheral controller so that the USB data access request does not reach a kernel space of the virtualization software and physical hardware resources supporting the virtualized environment. The method further includes generating a response according to the USB data access request and a process called by a firmware framework module of the virtual USB peripheral controller and transmitting generated response towards the virtual machine.
