  • Publication number: 20130112552
    Abstract: An electrocatalytic tube for controlling exhaust emissions, which adopts to purify the exhaust, comprises a tube, an anode layer and a cathode layer. The tube is composed of a solid-state electrolyte layer. The solid-state electrolyte layer includes an enclosed chamber, an inner wall formed inside the enclosed chamber, and an outer wall formed outside the enclosed chamber. The enclosed chamber has a sub-atmospheric reducing environment. The anode layer and cathode layer are respectively coated on the inner wall and outer wall of the solid-state electrolyte layer. The reducing environment facilitates an electromotive force to occur between the anode layer and the cathode layer. The electromotive force promotes catalytic decomposition of nitrogen oxides of the exhaust on the cathode layer.

  • Patent number: 8172418
    Abstract: A frame structure includes a frame body and fixing structures. The frame structure has an inner edge, an end edge and an outer edge. The fixing structures are disposed on two opposite sides of the frame body respectively, wherein each fixing structure includes a first protrusion, a second protrusion and a stopper portion. One end of the first protrusion or one end of the second protrusion connects to the inner and the end edges to form a containing cavity. The stopper portion is located inside the containing cavity and arranged in parallel to the first and the second protrusions. The lengths of the first and the second protrusions are respectively “L1” and “L2”. The overlap length between the stopper portion and the first protrusion is “?,” the overlap length between the stopper portion and the second protrusion is “b,” L1>??0, and L2>??0.

  • Patent number: 8064007
    Abstract: The present disclosure is a backlight module including a light guide plate, a supporter, and a light source module. The light guide plate has a light incident side. The supporter has a bottom plate, a sidewall, and a top plate corresponding to the bottom plate. The bottom plate extends from a first end of the sidewall toward the light guide plate, and the top plate extends along a second end of the sidewall toward the light guide plate. The length of the sidewall is longer than the length of the top plate, such that the top plate corresponding to the sidewall forms at least one breach to expose the second end of the sidewall. The bottom plate, the top plate, and the sidewall together form an accommodating space, and the light incident side of the light guide plate is disposed between the top plate and the bottom plate. The light source module is disposed in the accommodating space and partially exposed through the at least one breach.
