Abstract: Fire-retardant panels that include: a frame with multiple holes that reduce heat conduction through the panel; or a frame that includes two portions separated by a layer of fire-resistant material (e.g., gypsum, calcium silicate, or gypsum board). Some embodiments include skins (e.g., sheet metal) or insulation (e.g., between skin and fire-resistant material, for instance, within the frame). In particular embodiments, the fire-resistant material is (e.g., midway) between: two skins, two layers of insulation, two portions of the frame, or a combination thereof. The portions of the frame can be: sheet metal, attached (e.g., screwed) to the skin(s) or to each other, or extend around the perimeter. The frame can include: various elongated members, (e.g., parallel) bends, or holes that are: in at least one row, elongated, or slots (e.g., parallel to each other or to the skin).

Abstract: Fire-retardant panels that include: two skins (e.g., sheet metal) and a layer of gypsum or calcium silicate fire-resistant material therebetween; two layers of insulation with fire-resistant material therebetween; a skin (e.g., sheet metal), a layer of gypsum or calcium silicate fire-resistant material, and insulation therebetween; or a combination thereof. Some embodiments include: two contiguous layers of the fire-resistant material, gypsum board, tongue and groove connections; or a frame that extends around the perimeter or has two portions that are attached to the skins or are separated by the fire-resistant material. In some embodiments, the fire-retardant panel is fabricated in a factory before being installed at a jobsite.

Abstract: A control system and a method for initializing the control system are provided. The control system includes a control platform and a plurality of target modules SM1˜SMn. Data transmission ends of the target modules are connected to the control platform. A power input end of the target module SM1 receives an operation electrical energy. The target module SM1 delays the operation electrical energy by a first period, and outputs the operation electrical energy via a power output end of the target modules SM1. A power input end of the target module SMi receives the operation electrical energy from a power output end of the target module SM(i-1). The target module SMi delays the operation electrical energy by an nth period, and outputs the operation electrical energy via a power output end of the target modules SMi, wherein 1?i?n.

Abstract: The disclosed exemplary embodiments relates to a control system and a control method for identifying corresponding position. The control system includes a plurality of electronic control modules, each electronic control module having a microcontroller electrically coupled to at least one joint, and the joint is configured for connecting to a joint of neighboring electronic control module. The electronic control modules include a main-control-terminal electronic control module, an assembling electronic control module and at least one detecting electronic control module. The main-control-terminal electronic control module is configured for assigning one of the electronic control modules to be the assembling electronic control module, and assigning the rest of the electronic control modules to be the detecting electronic control module.

Abstract: An electrode patch module, a chronic pain detection method and an apparatus thereof are provided. The electrode patch module affixed at a zone to be tested contains at least three electrode pads. The chronic pain detection apparatus selects multiple electrode pairs from the electrode pads and uses the electrode pairs to measure the zone to be tested so as to obtain multiple characteristic values of different muscle areas. The chronic pain detection apparatus receives the characteristic values for performing comparison operations to produce a result for assistant judging where the chronic pain may have in the zone to be tested.

Abstract: A wheelchair includes a seat, one or more wheels and a seat weight sensing mechanism. The wheel includes a brake for stopping the wheel. The seat weight sensing mechanism is placed below the seat and is connected to the brake. When the seat is loaded by a weight more than a predetermined value, the seat weight sensing mechanism releases the brake to free the wheel. When the seat is not loaded by a weight more than a predetermined value, the brake stops the wheel.
