Patent number: 12202752Abstract: A method is provided for processing wastewater having organics even together with high-concentration ammonia-nitrogen, using an apparatus, comprising a catalyzation tank and a subsequent neutralization tank. Organic ammonia-nitrogen wastewater is introduced into tank for reaction without being pre-adjusted by acidic agent or mixing with other additives. A persulfate oxidant is used to process high-efficiency oxidative degradation for ammonia-nitrogen and toxic organics in wastewater through catalyzing oxidation of ultraviolet activation, tiny-amount-transition-metal catalyzation, or both of them, for simultaneous reductions or complete removals of ammonia-nitrogen and organic carbon contents. After neutralization according to actual needs, the final output is complied with biological treatment conditions, discharged-water quality standards, or recycled-water standards.Type: GrantFiled: July 13, 2021Date of Patent: January 21, 2025Assignee: CPC Corporation, TaiwanInventors: Yi-Fong Huang, Shih-Yuen Chang, I-Cheng Chou, Mao-Yuan Tu, Guo-Hsu Lu

Patent number: 10677252Abstract: A fan structure includes a fan impeller, a fan seat and a hollow shaft rod. The fan impeller has a circumferential section and a top section. The circumferential section has multiple fan blades. The fan seat has a bearing cup. A light-emitting unit and a photoconductive component are received in the bearing cup. The hollow shaft rod has a first end, a second end and a through hole. The through hole axially passes through the hollow shaft rod between the first and second ends. A first end of the hollow shaft rod is inserted in the top section of the fan impeller. A second end of the hollow shaft rod is inserted in the bearing cup of the fan seat and assembled with the photoconductive component. The fan structure improves the shortcoming of the conventional light-emitting fan that the light can be hardly fully projected.Type: GrantFiled: November 22, 2017Date of Patent: June 9, 2020Assignee: ASIA VITAL COMPONENTS CO., LTD.Inventors: Shih-Cheng Chou, Chang-Yen Ho, Chung-Chien Su

Publication number: 20110181976Abstract: A power-saving method adapted in a hard disk in a computer system having a CPU and a memory module is provided. The power-saving method comprises the following steps. A data-to-be-written is transferred from the memory module through the CPU to the hard disk filter. A determining module is provided to determine whether a data access frequency of the computer system exceeds a threshold value. When the data access frequency exceeds the threshold value, the determining module further determines whether a request-queuing time exceeds an idle-mode activation time. When the request-queuing time exceeds the idle-mode activation time interval, the data-to-be-written is stored in a temporary storage location by the hard disk filter. When a condition of the computer system is satisfied, the data-to-be-written is written to the hard disk to extend the duration of an idle-mode of the hard disk.
