  • Publication number: 20160166439
    Abstract: A long-term effective patch structure includes a binding layer, an absorbing layer and a water-proof layer sequentially stacked together. The binding layer has a function of attaching and fixing, and is configured to be attached and fixed on a skin. Sweat or liquid from the skin can pass through the binding layer to reach the absorbing layer, which is aligned with binding layer at the edge. The water-proof layer is water-proof and has vapor permeability, and its area is larger than the area of the absorbing layer. The outer part of the water-proof layer is attachable to the skin. Since the absorbing layer can absorb the liquid from the skin and the water-proof layer can ventilate the vapor to the outside, the skin is kept dry and comfortable and suitable to be attached to human skin for a long period of time without inducing skin allergy or discomfort.

  • Publication number: 20150188477
    Abstract: A control apparatus for a motor having a rotor includes a resolver, a processor, a decoder, a sensor, and a motor driver. The resolver outputs waveforms sensed from a rotation of the rotor. The decoder generates an absolute angle signal and an incremental angle signal in response to the waveforms from the resolver and provides the absolute angle signal and the incremental angle signal to the processor. The sensor estimates a positioning angle of the rotor and provides an estimated angle signal in response to the positioning angle of the rotor to the processor. When one of the absolute angle signal, the incremental angle signal, and the estimated angle signal is transmitted to the processor, the processor executes a predetermined program associated with the respective absolute angle signal, the incremental angle signal, and the estimated angle signal, to control the motor driver to rotate the rotor.
