  • Patent number: 11931867
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a socket used in coordination with a wrench. The socket includes a socket main body which has a head portion and a body portion connected to the head portion. The head portion is adapted for being coupled with the wrench. The body portion has a polygonal hole for being coupled with a head portion of a bolt or a nut, so that the wrench is adapted for screwing on or off the bolt or nut through the socket main body. Besides, a pipe made of composite material is sleeved onto the external peripheral surface of the body portion. The pipe is freely detachable, and the external peripheral surface of the pipe can be provided with a print, pattern, color or character according to the practical demands, thereby attaining the effects of high variability in appearance, great durability and great recognizability.

  • Patent number: 11639145
    Abstract: A vehicle structure material strengthening system and a vehicle containing the same are described. The vehicle structure material strengthening system has at least one collision sensor, a processor, and a power supply. The collision sensor is suitable for being mounted on the vehicle. The processor is electrically connected to the collision sensor for receiving a collision signal from the collision sensor, and determines whether to transmit a power activation signal according to the collision signal. The power supply is electrically connected to the processor and the vehicle. When the collision signal is greater than or equal to a collision threshold, the processor transmits the power activation signal to the power supply, wherein the power supply transmits a circuit to the vehicle according to the power activation signal; or when the collision signal is less than the collision threshold, the processor does not transmit the power activation signal.

  • Patent number: 11436507
    Abstract: Nodes of a weighted tree each have their own weight. A normalized weight of a node, relative to other nodes in the tree, is determined based on a proportional weight of the node and a lesser unique sum of the node, as well as those of the node's parents and grandparents, up to a root of the tree. The proportional weight and lesser unique sum of a given node depend only on the unique weights of the sibling group including the given node. Thus, if a weight is modified, the normalized weight can be updated without necessarily recalculating the entire tree.
