Abstract: A method for making a carbon nanotube composite structure includes providing a polymer substrate having a first surface and a second surface opposite to the first surface. A first carbon nanotube layer including a plurality of carbon nanotubes is placed on the first surface to form a preformed structure, wherein the carbon nanotube layer and the polymer substrate are stacked with each other. The preformed structure is scanned with a laser according to a predetermined pattern. The treated preformed structure includes a first part and a second part. The first part is scanned by the laser, and the second part is not scanned by the laser. The first part includes a plurality of first carbon nanotubes, and the second part includes a plurality of second carbon nanotubes. The plurality of second carbon nanotubes is removed.

Abstract: A portable energy management device, disposed between a power outlet and an appliance load when being used, includes a transmission module, a micro processing unit, a schedule module, and a power control circuit. The transmission module communicates with a remote control device by receiving or sending a wireless signal or a cable signal, through which schedule commands are transmitted. The micro processing unit performs analysis and identification of the appliance load, and information related to the appliance load is sent to the remote control device through the transmission module. The schedule module executed by the micro-processing unit stores and runs the schedule commands. The power control circuit is controlled by schedule commands to determine whether power should be supplied.

Abstract: A combination paper top includes a first paperboard and a second paperboard. One of the first and second paperboards is precut with a separable top top board, a separable top bottom board and a separable top sideboard. Printed layers are laid on surfaces of the first and second paperboards. The printed layers are printed with various colorful figures or words to combine education with recreation. After separated from the first and second paperboards, the top top board, the top bottom board and the top sideboard can be DIY assembled to form a hollow top main body. A support pin is inserted through the centers of the top top board and the top bottom board. A first end of the support pin serves as a spinning section, while a second end of the support pin serves as a tip of the top. The combination paper top also serves as a decoration.

Abstract: A method for reducing memory consumption when carrying out edge enhancement in a multiple beam pixel apparatus is provided, wherein Static Random Access Memories and first in first out buffers are employed. When the first to the nth input units read the next bit data, the first rows of the bit data in the first to the nth buffers are removed, and each row of bit data behind the first rows is moved towards left by one bit. The first rows of bit data in the (n+1)th to the (n+4)th buffers are stored in one end of the first to the fourth memories respectively, and a bit data is taken out from the other end of each of the memories, to be sequentially stored in the end of the first to the fourth buffers, and the read next bit data is stored in the fifth to the (n+4)th buffers.

Abstract: A color image edge enhancement method having the following steps: First, perform the halftone processing of a color image to produce a halftone image. Next, compare the dotting pattern of an edge pixel to be enhanced and the pixels in its perimeter in the halftone image with the contents of an edge enhancement table. Thus, search and obtain the dotting table and a corresponding dotting command having the most matching pattern. Then, divide the halftone image into the images of four color planes of cyan, magenta, yellow, and black colors respectively. Subsequently, compare the pattern of the edge pixel and the pixels in its perimeter in the respective color planes with the pattern in the dotting table to determine the color plane having the most matching pattern. Finally, execute the searched doting command to dot and enhance the edge pixel.

Abstract: A print control device with an embedded engine simulation module and the test method thereof are disclosed. With the engine simulation module is inserted in the print control device, the print engine signal is directly sent to the video signal processor of the print control device. The video signal processor follows the print engine signal along with the clock and video signals to print data signals, thereby testing the print control device. Therefore, adjustments of the print engine signal can directly simulate the situations of supporting different print engines.

Abstract: Fibrous composite articles and method of manufacturing the same are disclosed. The preferred fibrous materials have average fiber lengths of less than about 2 millimeters, and are obtained from industrial hemp hurd, kenaf hurd, and/or the culms of various species of vegetable bamboo. The fibers are combined with a binder resin and, optionally, a sizing agent to form a mat that is consolidated under heat and pressure to form the composite articles. The formed articles exhibit strength and durability characteristics at least roughly equivalent, if not superior, to those of conventional wood-based fibrous composite articles.
