  • Patent number: 9568373
    Abstract: A cable-base sensor can detect a material level and temperatures of a material stored in a silo. The cable-base sensor comprises an electronic box, a cable, a stopper, and a signal processing module. The electronic box comprises a base and a space for containing the signal processing module, and a hole is formed through a bottom of the electronic box. The base is mounted in the bottom, and a tapered hole is formed through the base. A first end of the cable extents into the tapered hole and the hole, and spreads to form a cable bud. The stopper is a tapered block and pressed into the tapered hole for enforcing the cable bud to be sandwiched between the stopper and the base. The cable bud strengthens a connection between the electronic box and the cable for preventing damages from solid materials.

  • Publication number: 20150345713
    Abstract: An illumination lamp includes a lamp base, a lampshade, and electrical contacts. The lamp base is integrally formed of ceramics and has a control circuit and at least one LED element laid on its surface. The lampshade covers each LED element on the lamp base surface. The electrical contacts extend respectively and integrally from two ends of the lamp base. The control circuit is formed on the lamp base surface by high-temperature sintered silver chemically bonded to the ceramics and covers an external portion of each electrical contact such that the electrical contacts are in electrical conduction with the control circuit and the at least one LED element. Heat generated by the at least one LED element can be absorbed by the ceramic lamp base through the silver and dissipate rapidly. The illumination lamp features a simple structure with minimal components, a simplified manufacturing process, and low production costs.
