Patent number: 11260345Abstract: A desiccant wheel is provided to be rotatable. Through the body of the wheel or a surface adsorbent, water vapor in humid air flow is adsorbed. By passing a high-temperature air flow through the wheel, the body or surface coating is regenerated with moisture removed. Along a cross-section radial, the wheel is divided into different areas. The body has three-dimensionally inter-connected pores. The pores can be of different types. The wheel is a complete concentric cylinder or a concentric cylinder comprising equal or unequal sectors. The equal or unequal sectors are separated with each other. The wheel can rotate at a fixed speed for continually repeating a process of adsorbing, transiting, and regenerating. Thereby, drying can be carried out without causing physical or chemical change to heat-sensitive material, which also improves drying efficiency, reduces size, lowers power consumption, and helps in carbon reduction for industry.Type: GrantFiled: December 11, 2019Date of Patent: March 1, 2022Assignee: Institute of Nuclear Energy Research, Atomic Energy Council, Executive Yuan, R.O.C.Inventors: Heng Yi Li, Tsair-Fuh Huang, Sheng-Fu Yang, Po-Hsiu Kuo, Yu-Ren Chen, How-Ming Lee, To-Mei Wang

Patent number: 10302379Abstract: An apparatus is provided for detecting the quality of a heat pipe. The apparatus has an infrared (IR) thermal imager bound with a data computing-and-analyzing program to detect thermal conductivity quality and vacuum quality of the heat pipe. An online overall detection is thus provided to quickly detect the quality of the heat pipe without damage for efficient quality control. Requirements of quality detection are met for mass production of heat pipes. The apparatus comprises the heat pipe to be tested; a tape adhered to a surface of the heat pipe; a fixed base for disposing the heat pipe; a heating device in an allocation space of the fixed base; the IR thermal imager located facing to the tape; a signal line connected to the IR thermal imager; and an electronic device connected to the IR thermal imager through the signal line.Type: GrantFiled: December 27, 2017Date of Patent: May 28, 2019Assignee: INSTITUTE OF NUCLEAR ENERGY RESEARCH, ATOMIC ENERGY COUNCIL, EXECUTIVE YUAN, R.O.C.Inventors: Heng-Yi Li, Tsair-Fuh Huang, How-Ming Lee, Po-Hsiu Kuo, Yu-Ren Chen

Patent number: 8693182Abstract: A fixing mechanism for storage device includes a frame, and a detent component. One sidewall of the frame has a latch member. The detent component is movably disposed on the sidewall of the frame, and has a pressing component and an operating component. The operating component is disposed with at least one stop block. When the operating component is moved relative to the frame to a press position, the pressing component pushes the latch member to engage with the storage device, the stop block is embedded in the frame, and the detent component is held in the press position. Accordingly, the storage device may be fixed to the frame rapidly without using any screw, the operating procedure is dramatically simplified, and the space occupied by the fixing mechanism and the manufacturing cost are reduced.Type: GrantFiled: August 31, 2011Date of Patent: April 8, 2014Assignees: Lite-On Electronic (Guangzhou) Limited, Lite-On Technology CorporationInventors: Po-Hsiu Kuo, Chih-Li Liu, Yung-Lung Liu, Chuan-Chieh Tseng

Patent number: 8464378Abstract: A medical inspection apparatus includes a main body and an inspection module. The main body has at least two guide rails and at least two sliding blocks which are slidably coupled to the guide rails respectively, and the inspection module further includes at least one pivot, and each of the sliding blocks is pivotally connected to the inspection module with a pivot, so that the inspection module is capable of sliding on the sliding rail to regulate the height and rotating with respect to the pivot to regulate the inclination. Moreover, the main body has a first supporting component and a second supporting component, so that the combination of the first supporting component and the second supporting component can provide three-ended support for an inspected person.Type: GrantFiled: July 8, 2011Date of Patent: June 18, 2013Assignee: Institute of Nuclear Energy Research Atomic Energy CouncilInventors: Po-Hsiu Kuo, Yu-Ching Ni, Meei-Ling Jan
