Patent number: 10670109Abstract: The vertical vibration isolation system of the present invention includes a bearing base, a guide rail assembly and a plurality of buckling elements. The bearing base has an upper platform that can move along a vertical direction. The guide rail assembly surrounds the bearing base and has a plurality of arc-shaped sliding channels. The top portion of each buckling element can move with the upper platform, while the bottom portion of each buckling element is slidably connected to the corresponding arc-shaped sliding channel. The vertical displacement of the upper platform would cause different degrees of buckling of the buckling elements and also induces sliding motion of the bottom portion of the buckling elements along the arc-shaped sliding channels. Accordingly, the vertical vibration isolation system can provide nonlinear restoring force by buckling and sliding mechanisms so as to exhibit vertical vibration isolation effect.Type: GrantFiled: February 4, 2019Date of Patent: June 2, 2020Assignee: NATIONAL APPLIED RESEARCH LABORATORIESInventors: Chia-ming Chang, Cho-Yen Yang, Shieh-Kung Huang, Chen-Hao Hsu

Patent number: 10655704Abstract: The geometrically nonlinear isolation system of the present invention includes a bearing platform, an isolator and a damper. The isolator is connected with the bearing platform and used for providing resilience against horizontal relative displacement between the bearing platform and the isolator. The damper is pin-jointed to the bearing platform and has an axis orthogonal or oblique to the horizontal direction. Accordingly, when the bearing platform and the isolator move with respect to each other along the horizontal direction, the angle between the axis of the damper and the horizontal direction would change with the horizontal displacement, and the damper provides damping force along a direction parallel to the axis of the damper so as to enhance horizontal vibration isolation effect.Type: GrantFiled: January 28, 2019Date of Patent: May 19, 2020Assignee: National Applied Research LaboratoriesInventors: Chia-Ming Chang, Shieh-Kung Huang, Cho-Yen Yang

Patent number: 9465121Abstract: A system and method instantly on-site analyze seismic acceleration signals measured from a primary wave of an earthquake and at a detecting site. The system includes an embedded computing host and a signal preprocessing module. Hardware preprocessing is executed on the seismic acceleration signals; and whether the earthquake is a seismic event is able to be determined according to a seism determining logic. Seismic acceleration signals are converted into ground velocities and ground displacements to obtain a peak ground displacement. A seismic fracture time parameter is calculated through the ground velocities and ground displacements and then a seismic magnitude of the earthquake is obtained. According to the peak ground displacement and the seismic magnitude, an epicentral distance is further calculated. Then a peak ground acceleration of the earthquake's shear wave at the detection site is able to be obtained through the seismic magnitude and the epicentral distance.Type: GrantFiled: August 16, 2012Date of Patent: October 11, 2016Assignee: NATIONAL APPLIED RESEARCH LABORATORIESInventors: Pei-Yang Lin, Tao-Ming Chang, Tzu-Kang Lin, Shieh-Kung Huang, Hung-Wei Chiang, Zhe-Ping Shen
