Abstract: A blow-molded table includes a table board, and two opposite support units each foldably mounted on a bottom of the table board. Each of the two support units includes a support stand pivotally mounted on either one of two ends of the table board, and a support member pivotally mounted on a mediate of the table board and pivotally connected with the support stand. Thus, the blow-molded table is supported rigidly and stably when being expanded and is folded when not in use.

Abstract: A circular table includes a table board, and two opposite support units each foldably mounted on the table board. Each of the two support units includes a support stand pivotally mounted on one of two ends of the table board, and a support member pivotally mounted on a mediate of the table board and pivotally connected with the support stand. Thus, the two support units are expanded outward rapidly to support the table board rigidly and stably, thereby facilitating the user expanding the circular table. In addition, the support units are folded in the receiving space of the table board to fold the circular table when not in use, thereby saving space of storage, package and transportation.

Abstract: A foldable table includes two table boards pivotally connected with each other, and two support units each foldably mounted on a respective one of the two table boards. Each of the support units includes a support stand having an end pivotally mounted on a first end of the respective table board, and a support member pivotally mounted on a second end of the respective table board and pivotally connected with the support stand. Thus, the foldable table is supported rigidly and stably when being expanded and is folded when not in use, thereby enhancing the versatility of foldable table.

Abstract: An isolated strain of the Moniliella species that converts glucose to erythritol with a conversion rate of at least about 45% is disclosed, as is a method of producing erythritol from such a strain.

Abstract: The present invention discloses methods for enhancing the wear-resistance of polymers, the resulting polymers, and in vivo implants made from such polymers. One aspect of this invention presents a method whereby a polymer is irradiated, preferably with gamma radiation, then thermally treated, such as by remelting of annealing. The resulting polymeric composition preferably has its most oxidized surface layer removed. Another aspect of the invention presents a general method for optimizing the wear resistance and desirable physical and/or chemical properties of a polymer by crosslinking and thermally treating it. The resulting polymeric compositions is wear-resistant and may be fabricated into an in vivo implant.

Abstract: A bench folding mechanism for picnic tables, including two parallel tube members installed at the ends of collapsible table legs on two sides under a tabletop, the benches on two sides each have bench legs that are selectively folded inwardly. At the end of the table leg is installed a telescopic tube inserted into a tube member at the end of the table leg. Thereby, the benches are capable of being extended outside the tabletop or retracted under the tabletop. When the benches are folded under the tabletop, the table legs and bench legs are simultaneously folded inwardly under the tabletop, and the benches are folded to two sides under the tabletop. Therefore, the size of the entire picnic table can be reduced to almost the cubic measurements of the tabletop. The invention provides convenience in handling, storing and transportation of the picnic table.

Abstract: The present invention discloses a method for enhancing the wear-resistance of polymers by crosslinking them, especially before irradiation sterilization. In particular, this invention presents the use of chemically crosslinked ultrahigh molecular weight polyethylene in in vivo implants.

Abstract: The cover lens and the back panel of a rear lamp set are molded to form chambers of predetermined sizes to accommodate safety sensors therein, so that the safety sensors and the rear lamp sets are integrally assembled to a vehicle without spoiling the esthetic appearance of the tail portion of the vehicle. The built in safety sensors, such as cameras, distance detecting devices and sonar sets, help a driver to understand conditions around the tail portion of the vehicle.
