  • Publication number: 20130198194
    Abstract: A method and a system for preserving privacy of a dataset are provided. In the method, a k-anonymity value with respect to a sensitive data field is determined according to at least one first quasi-identifier. Data entries in each group have the same value in the one or more fields of the first quasi-identifier and data entries in different groups have different values in the one or more fields of the first quasi-identifier. A first group and a second group among the plurality of groups are determined according to the reference number Kr, where the first group and the second group are merged into a merging group. The number of data entries in the merging group is not less than a reference number Kr. One or more fields of at least one first quasi-identifier is masked for the merging group.

  • Patent number: 7905378
    Abstract: A trigger valve includes a valve base, a valve rod, a sliding portion and a shuttle valve. The valve base is disposed at a gun body of the nail gun between a compressed chamber and a main air valve of the nail gun. The valve rod is capable of being driven by a trigger of the nail gun to move so as to open or close high pressure air from the compressed chamber into the valve base. The sliding portion is capable of being driven by high pressure air to move to cause a safety slide rod of the nail gun producing a displacement along a hitting-nail direction. The shuttle valve is capable of being driven to move under control of the displacement of the sliding portion so as to open or close high pressure air from the valve base into the main air valve.

  • Publication number: 20100301091
    Abstract: In a linkage mechanism between a trigger valve and a control valve in a nail gun, the control valve is disposed on a main body of the nail gun. A valve plug of the control valve adjoins to a safety rod of the nail gun. A trigger valve is mounted on the main body and an outer trigger is disposed adjacent to the trigger valve. A valve stem of the trigger valve is extended in the outer trigger. An inner trigger is pivotably connected to a bottom end of the valve stem. An end of a rod member is slidably disposed at a side of the outer trigger and another end of the rod member is connected between the valve plug and the safety rod with an arm. A stopping portion is formed at a middle portion of the rod member. The stopping portion is configured for pressing the outer trigger so as to drive the inner trigger to push the rod member, the arm, the valve plug and the safety rod to move along a nail driving direction of the nail gun.

  • Patent number: 7762442
    Abstract: In a controlling mechanism for pneumatic nailer, the pneumatic nailer includes a leaf spring, a trigger, a trigger valve and a safety rod attached to a main body of the nailer. The control mechanism includes a control valve and a connecting rod. The control vale includes a valve plug adjacent to the safety rod. The connecting rod is engaged with the valve plug and the safety rod. The connecting rod extends to a position that is capable of being pressed by the leaf spring. The connecting rod is configured for driving the valve plug and the safety rod to move downwardly when the leaf spring press thereof, thereby controlling the pressurized air to drive the nail gun. As such, the valve plug can move in to a position that can to control the nail hitting action of the nail gun in advance so the stability of control increases.

  • Publication number: 20100006619
    Abstract: A nail gun includes a fastener drive track capable of receiving fasteners having different length. A faster positioning assembly includes at least one swinging member and a stop portion. The swinging member is elastically and pivotably disposed at a side of the fastener drive track. The stop portion is formed at an end of the swinging member and received in the fastener drive track. The stop portion is configured for positioning fasteners prior to the fasteners are hit, and the stop portion retractably exits from the fastener drive track when a long fastener is received in the fastener drive track. The fastener positioning assembly enables the nail gun to drive fasteners having different length, as such, it is very convenient to use such nail gun to join different workpiece having different thickness on an object.
