  • Patent number: 10183228
    Abstract: A dovetailed building block includes a block body having a plurality of side surfaces. The side surfaces are constructed in an order of having a side surface with a dovetailed recess next to another surface with a dovetailed projection. The dovetailed projection of one said block body can engage the corresponding dovetailed recess of another said block body in a 90-degree cross manner. Thereupon, while in stacking a plurality of the block bodies, variety of secured and stable three-dimensional curved configuration can be built through angular engagement of one dovetailed projection of one block body and another dovetailed recess of another block body.

  • Patent number: 9744473
    Abstract: A densely stackable building block system comprises a stand and exactly five three-dimensional blocks. Each block is composed of four identical spheres. Configurations of the five blocks are different from each other. The five blocks are combinable with each other to form a detachable stacked arrangement shaped as a regular triangular pyramid. The stand is formed with ten concaves for accommodating a portion of a bottom layer of the stacked arrangement. The five blocks are stackable on the stand to form the stacked arrangement by at least four different sequences.

  • Patent number: 9581322
    Abstract: A heat sink comprises a base, primary fins on and vertically extending from the base, and a fin-free region on the base. The primary fins each have a first arm, a second arm, which meets the first arm to form a primary fin bottom, and a stem, which extends away from the primary fin bottom. The heat sink is particularly useful in a high bay LED device, with a molecular fan coating on the heat sink.

  • Publication number: 20160346707
    Abstract: A dovetailed building block includes a block body having a regular polygonal shape having side surfaces in which dovetailed recesses and dovetailed projections are alternately formed. To join two building blocks in a transverse direction, one dovetailed projection of one building block is received in and retained by one dovetailed recess of the other building block. The building block has a simple structure and allows for assembly in a curved form to present unique three-dimensional configurations with versatile variability. Each or one of the dovetailed projections of the building block has upper and lower ends that respectively form upper and lower inclination facets so that when two building blocks are joined in a longitudinal direction, the upper and lower inclination facets of the two blocks are positioned against each other. A positioning point is formed in the dovetailed recess by the upper inclination facet to ensure firm and stable connection.

  • Patent number: 9427675
    Abstract: The present invention is related to a hexagonal block and its stand consistent of various three-dimensional blocks and each of the blocks including one to multiply hexagonal elements constituted by multiply layers of connection in horizontal and vertical directions. Thereby the same blocks can be stacked in either vertical direction in accordance with the corresponding stand with a recess or horizontal direction in accordance with a switched stand with a recess. The blocks are in hexagonal forms at a fixed quantity such that a stacking sequence is required to complete a three-dimensional assembly without vacancy. Therefore certain difficulty is included in order to achieve the training of logic thinking.

  • Patent number: 8929166
    Abstract: A fault masking method is applied to a non-volatile memory array which includes a faulty cell and electrically connected to an address register providing a first address. The faulty cell can only output a fixed value. The content of the first address is not equal to the fixed value. The method includes: providing a complementer electrically connected between the address register and the faulty cell; providing a control word; writing the first address and the control word into the complementer; performing a complement operation on the first address and the control word by the complementer to obtain a second address, and storing the content of the second address into the faulty cell, wherein the content of the second address is equal to the fixed value. The method can reduce or eliminate the usage of redundancy in non-volatile memories, so as to reduce the manufacturing costs and improve the fabrication yield.
