Abstract: A buffer for holding a pipe adapted to transport a fluid includes a base. The buffer further includes a plurality of fingers extending outwardly from a first side of the base, wherein a first finger of the plurality of fingers and a second finger of the plurality of fingers define a cavity for receiving the pipe, the first finger extends outwardly from a first end of the base, and the second finger extends outwardly from a central portion of the base, and a third finger of plurality of fingers extends outwardly from a second end of the base opposite the first end, wherein the second finger is between the first finger and the third finger. The buffer further includes at least one roller on a second side of the base opposite the first side.

Abstract: A method of monitoring wear of a buffer includes holding a pipe for transporting a fluid and an electrical cable using a buffer placed on a support plate. The buffer includes a base, a plurality of fingers, and a roller contacting the support plate. The plurality of fingers includes a first finger, a second finger, and a third finger. The first finger and the second finger define a first cavity for receiving the pipe, and the second finger and the third finger defines a second cavity for receiving the electrical cable. The method includes detecting acoustic waves generated by the roller on the support plate. The method further includes analyzing changes in frequencies of the acoustic waves to determine an extent of the wear of the roller over time. The method includes triggering an alert when an increase in the frequencies of the acoustic waves exceeds a pre-determined threshold value.

Abstract: A manufacturing method of a structure of a thin fan includes providing a plastic material containing a plurality of metal particles and forming a housing from the plastic material. A part surface of the housing is removed, and a layout area and an extended circuit are formed on the housing. One terminal of the extended circuit connects to the layout area. A first signal connecting structure is disposed on the housing. The first signal connecting structure connects to the other terminal of the extended circuit. A metal layer is disposed on the layout area and the extended circuit.
