Abstract: A method for preparing high-temperature, active particle-containing steam. The method includes: 1) preparing steam; selecting one or several non-oxidizing gases as a working gas; ionizing the working gas into a plasma working medium by using a plasma generator; and 2) injecting the plasma working medium into a high-temperature steam generator to form high-temperature ionized environment while introducing the steam into the high-temperature steam generator for allowing the steam to contact with the plasma working medium so that the steam is heated and activated to form active particle-containing steam. A device for preparing the high-temperature, active particle-containing steam is also provided.

Abstract: An interventional medical device connector and a method for using same. The interventional medical device connector comprises an implant (1) and a pusher (5). One end of the implant (1) is provided with at least one lock ring (9). The top end of the pusher (5) is provided with at least one locking hole (7). The pusher (5) is provided with at least one control wire (4). The control wire (4) slides along the axial direction of the pusher (5), and the top end of the control wire (4) can reach at least one of the locking holes (7). The control wire (4), the lock ring (9) and the locking hole (7) together form a connection means having a lock-pin structure. Use of this means of connection effectively overcomes the defects of existing threaded connections, reduces risks, and provides convenience of use.

Abstract: A TV function extension assembly is electrically connected with a core circuit of a display apparatus through a gold finger connector. It comprises a function extension module, an external interface, and a memory. The function extension module is connected with the core circuit of the display apparatus through the gold finger connector for mutual communication and data communication. The external interface is connected between the function module and an external device or external network to enable mutual communication and data transmission between the function extension module and the external device or external network. The memory is connected with the function extension module to store data transmitted by the function extension module.

The switching box is connected between a TV set and a plurality of signal sources to enable the signal sources to transmit media signals with the TV set interactively. The signal switching box comprises a first interface and a second interface, the first interface is electrically connected to and communicates interactively with the TV set, and the second interface is electrically connected to a plurality of signal sources and outputs a power supply signal and a control signal to the signal sources.

Abstract: A television is disclosed in the present invention, which includes a television core subsystem, a television function extension component and a gold finger connecter. The television core subsystem is configured within the interior of the television for receiving audio/video signal in different formats. The television function extension component is used for providing the option of different functions.

Abstract: A signal source which is detachably and electrically connected with a TV is disclosed. The TV has a video output unit and an audio output unit. Driven by the TV, the signal source exchanges a media signal with the TV. The signal source includes an audio input interface which receives an audio signal from an external audio input unit, and a media storage unit which is used for storing the media signal.

Abstract: Provided herein are systems useful in a manufacturing environment for transmitting operational commands to one or more workstations at which a workpiece is being acted upon by one or more pieces of manufacturing process equipment. A system according to the invention utilizes the 802.11a communication standard in conveying command signals wirelessly from a source to a programmable logic controller that is adapted to control the actions of a piece of manufacturing process equipment. A system according to the invention is adaptable to multiple-stage manufacturing operations through use of a plurality of receiving stations which are each equipped with a wireless modem in cooperative connection with a programmable logic controller that controls a particular piece of manufacturing process equipment at each stage.

Abstract: A robot carrying a milling cutter or other multi-axis machine cuts a physical model and is directly driven in real time from a CAD generated mathematical model. The path planning is carried out in parametric space but with velocity constraints in the machine coordinate space. The method will generate proper points in parametric space and then map to machine space to minimize interpolations needed by machine controller to improve tracking accuracy while achieving the desired cutting velocity. Point data is computed by the microcomputer and transferred to the machine controller continuously while the machine is cutting. Long pre-cutting computation times are eliminated.
