Abstract: A sintered magnesium oxide has a density of 3.5 g/cm3 or more, and has a grain size that is more than or equal to thirty times the average particle diameter of magnesium oxide particles. An MgO protective layer made from the sintered magnesium oxide reduces a discharge voltage of a plasma display panel, improves response speed, and provides a high-purity film quality.

Abstract: A safety buckle comprising a substantially flat elongated body comprising a first distal end opposite to a second distal end, the elongated body having a front surface and a back surface; and first, second and third slots, respectively formed in the elongated body, wherein the first, second and third slots are approximately parallel in direction to each other, so that a first blade is formed between the first and second slots, and a second blade is formed between the second and third slots, wherein the second and third slots are configured to receive a first end of a strap by way the first end being tied around the second blade, and wherein the first and second slots are configured to receive a second opposite end of the strap by way of the second end being wrapped around the first blade.

Abstract: Disclosed herein is a process for producing orchid seedlings by static liquid culture, in which a suitable amount of orchid seeds are suspended in a liquid medium suitable for the germination and growth of the orchid seeds to form a seed suspension; the seed suspension is then added into an empty culture container, so that the seed suspension within the culture container has a predetermined depth sufficient to enable each of the seeds to be suspended within the liquid medium while not causing said each seedling to an oxygen-deficient state; thereafter, the container is allowed to stand, such that the seeds suspended within the liquid medium germinate and grow into seedlings. The young seedlings thus obtained can be further cultivated by static liquid culture.

Abstract: A safety buckle comprises a substantially flat elongated body having a first distal end opposite a first distal end, a top surface, and a bottom surface. The first and second distal ends are angled towards the bottom surface to form an approximately obtuse angle with the bottom surface. A substantially elongated cut-out is centrally disposed within the elongated body. The cut-out defines a pair of substantially parallel rails that axially extend between the first and send distal ends. A locking member is disposed within the cut-out. The locking member is slidably coupled to the rails, and slidable between a first position and a second position. When used with a safety strap, the locking member is moved from an “unlocked position” to a “locked” position when tension is applied to the strap. In the locked position, the locking member engages a bottom or clamping surface of the second distal end of the buckle body to apply pressure to the strap and secure it in place.

Abstract: A rock climbing shoe with hooking rim is provided. The climbing shoe includes an upper portion, and an outer sole attached to the upper portion. The outer sole has an interior area, a raised exterior area, and a hooking rim. The interior area has a thickness ‘t’ and a bottom surface. The thickness ‘t’ is substantially uniform. The raised exterior area are divided into two or more segments and the interior area extends between the segments. The bottom surface is substantially smooth. The hooking rim can hook on a rocky ledge.

Abstract: A climbing shoe with a hooking teeth heel that wraps around the heel part of the climbing shoe and is connected to the upper portion. The hooking teeth are made of multiple lateral ridges that will improve the grip of the foot during heel maneuvers.

Abstract: A climbing shoe with a sling shot band that wraps around the heel part of the climbing shoe and is connected to the toe part. The sling shot band is set at an angle substantially the same as the sole to increase comfort and fitness of the climbing shoe.

Abstract: An internal split toe with creased sole for rock-climbing shoes includes an upper portion, internal wall and a creased sole under the toe area attached to the upper portion. An internal wall separates the area for the big toe and the other toes. The internal wall is attached to the sole and the upper portion. The internal wall ensures a creased sole under the toe area. An internal split toe with creased sole for the rock-climbing shoes allows rock-climbers to maximize the rock surface contact with the sole by hooking and wrapping around uneven and protruding rock surfaces preventing the problems of bulging and loss of sensitivity.

Abstract: A climbing shoe includes an upper portion and an outer sole attached to the upper portion. The outer sole of the toe part has an edge area, a mid-area, and an interior area. The edge area will be made of rubber polymer with a hardness greater than the mid-area, and the mid-area will be made of rubber polymer with a hardness greater than the interior area. The edge area and mid-area will be substantially U-shaped along the toe part of the outer sole of the climbing shoes.

Abstract: A climbing shoe includes an upper portion and an outer sole attached to the upper portion. The outer sole has an interior area, a raised exterior area, and a hooking rim. The hooking rim can hook on a rocky ledge. A climbing shoe also includes teeth attached to the hooking rim. The teeth can vary in shape. The teeth are often a saw-tooth shape or a rounded half-moon shape.

Abstract: A climbing shoe includes an inner sole, an outer sole and a molded middle sole between the inner sole and the outer sole. The middle sole is concave in shape. The outer sole conforms to the concave shape of the middle sole. The concave shape allows the outer sole to hook on a rocky ledge. The molded middle sole provides a structure that causes the concave outer sole to substantially maintain the concave shape when pressure is applied to the outer sole.
