  • Patent number: 11654964
    Abstract: A vehicle includes a control switch that is configured to generate an operation signal, and a controller that is electrically connected to the control switch to receive the operation signal therefrom, and that is configured to, in response to receipt of the operation signal, transmit a control signal to a tilting mechanism for making the tilting mechanism operate in one of a locked state and an unlocked state. After the vehicle is powered on, the controller is further configured to, when the controller has continuously received the operation signal for a predetermined reception time, determine that the control switch is abnormal, stop transmitting the control signal and control a warning unit to output a warning signal.

  • Patent number: 10511529
    Abstract: A packet processing method for a virtual switch is carried out in a virtual switch under the SDN architecture. The method presets a signature pre-computation table including plural destination addresses and signatures corresponding to the destination addresses. With the installation of the signature pre-computation table, the destination addresses fall into packets of the signature pre-computation table without requiring computing the signature of the packet. The method simply obtains the corresponding signature according to the destination address of the packet destination address, and thus saves the time required for processing a packet and improves the throughput of the virtual switch.

  • Publication number: 20170254975
    Abstract: A cassette for housing and protecting splices of optical fibers, comprising a substrate and a lid, is provided. The substrate has a substrate body comprising a splice area for allowing the splices to be located thereon. A platform protruding from the substrate body has V-grooves on a top-end surface for guiding the optical fibers. The lid comprises a lid body comprising a platform-facing area for pressing towards the top-end surface when the substrate and the lid are integrated to form an assembled cassette. Multiple legs protruding from the lid body other than the platform-facing area are arranged such that a channel for allowing the optical fibers to pass through is formed between two of the legs. As a result, the channel overlies and covers the splice area to provide physical protection to the splices. The cassette is simple in structure while providing sufficient protection to the splices.

  • Patent number: 5720828
    Abstract: Magnetic materials containing a rare earth metal, and iron or a similar metal, as well as nitrogen and carbon, are produced by gas absorbing nitrogen and carbon sequentially into a parent intermetallic compound; the resulting magnetic materials have high T.sub.c, .mu..sub.o M.sub.s and .mu..sub.o H.sub.A, are essentially free of .alpha.-Fe, and have a coercivity at 300.degree. K. of at least 1.5 T. Anisotropic magnetic materials are produced by pretreating the intermetallic compound, which contains carbon, by powder sintering or oriented hot shaping, followed by nitriding and/or carbiding.
