Abstract: Provided are an organometallic complex coating solution and a near-infrared absorption film, including an organometallic complex, a phosphorus-containing dispersant, and optical resin. The present disclosure greatly reduces the temperature and time of the film-forming process by formulating components of the organometallic complex coating solution.

Abstract: A strip of a flexible plastic has a transparent cover surface which permits passage of light and an opposed bottom surface and sides which are opaque to passage of light. A series of spaced apart light emitting diodes are positioned on the top surface in electrical contact with a pair of spaced apart, generally parallel electrical wires running along the length of the top surface and individual electric bulbs are positioned on top of each light emitting diode. When electric current flows through the electrical wires, light is transmitted from each light emitting diode through each bulb and out in a unidirectional manner.

Abstract: An illumination apparatus includes a light emitting module and a containing base. The light emitting module includes a light guide bar and a light emitting device disposed on an end of the light guide bar. The light emitting device includes a heat dissipating sheet and a light emitting element. The heat dissipating sheet has a first positioning component. The light emitting element is disposed on the heat dissipating sheet for emitting light to the light guide bar. The containing base is used for containing the light emitting module. A second positioning component is formed on a side of the containing base corresponding to the first positioning component. The second positioning component is used for engaging with the first positioning component when the light emitting module is disposed on the containing base, so as to fix a position of the light emitting module relative to the containing base.

Abstract: A light emitting device including a light guide pillar, a reflective layer, and a point light source is provided. The light guide pillar has a light incident terminal surface and includes a first portion and a second portion located between the first portion and the light incident terminal surface. The reflective layer is disposed on the first portion and exposes a portion of the first portion. The reflective layer is not disposed on the second portion. The point light source emits light toward the light incident terminal surface.

Abstract: A magnesium alloy composite material includes a magnesium alloy matrix, and a nanoparticle second phase material dispersed in the magnesium alloy matrix. The nanoparticle second phase material has an average particle size ranging from 1.0 nm to 100 nm. Preferably, the amount of the nanoparticle second phase material ranges from 0.05 wt % to 2.5 wt % based on total weight of the magnesium alloy composite material. With the addition of the nanoparticle second phase material to the magnesium alloy matrix, hardness can be increased to a relatively high level without significantly increasing density.

Abstract: A system and method for managing inventory automatically monitors inventory amounts, provides information concerning inventory, and automatically adjusts an inventory replenishment schedule. The system includes: an inventory control unit (1) having: an inventory server (10), for controlling receipt, dispatch and storage of inventory, for integrating information received from suppliers and customers with information on current inventory amounts, and for determining if current inventory should be replenished; an inventory database (12) for storing information on suppliers, customers and inventory status; and a web server (13) for handling inquiries. A current amount of inventory is periodically monitored, and an inventory warning report is automatically generated when the amount of inventory is outside a safe range of amounts. The report is sent to the corresponding supplier, customer and/or other relevant staff by E-mail.

Abstract: A multiple-valued literal circuit is implemented with resonant tunneling diodes (RTD). A number of RTD sections are connected in series with a current source. Current is tapped by a current bleeder between every two adjacent RTD sections. The current bleeders are turned on at different levels of input voltage, which is applied at the joint between the current source and the RTD sections. When the voltage reaches a certain threshold level, the current bleeder with the highest threshold voltage is turned on and taps the most current from the current source, depleting the current from other current bleeders with lower threshold voltages. Thus only one dominant current is tapped from the current source. The literal circuit can be used for multiple-valued decoders, multiplexers, demultiplexers and other multiple-valued digital systems.
