Abstract: A cover and a packing box structure using the same are described. The packing box structure includes one packing container and two covers. The packing container is formed by folding a folding board, and two opposite ends of the folding board overlap each other to form an accommodation space. The two covers are respectively covered on the top and the bottom of the packing container. Further, each cover is of a three-dimensional structure formed through engagement and having an opening on a single side, such that the packing container and the covers can be easily detached/assembled.

Abstract: The present invention is a method of generating a geologic model which incorporates a local spatial trend in rock property continuity. Initially, a candidate geologic model is generated by assigning a rock-property value to each block of a model grid. Next, local spectra which characterize the desired local spatial trend in rock property continuity are specified. These local spectra are used to frequency scale the rock-property values of the candidate geologic model. The scaled rock-property values are then combined to generate a scaled geologic model that incorporates the local spatial trend in rock property continuity.

Abstract: The present invention is a method of generating a model of a random field which has directionally varying continuity. First, a tentative model for the random field is specified. Second, connected strings of nodes within the model are identified. Third, a spectral simulation on each of the strings of nodes is performed to determine updated values for the random field. Finally, the tentative model is updated with the data values from the spectral simulations.

Abstract: A micro-electro-mechanical (MEMs) mirror device for use in an optical switch is disclosed. A “piano”-style MEMs device includes an elongated platform pivotally mounted proximate the middle thereof by a torsional hinge. The middle portion of the platform and the torsional hinge have a combined width less than the width of the rest of the platform, whereby several of these “piano” MEMs devices can be positioned adjacent each other pivotally mounted about the same axis with only a relatively small air gap therebetween. In a preferred embodiment of the present invention specially designed for wavelength switching applications, a greater range of arcuate motion for a mirror mounted thereon is provided by enabling the platform to rotate about two perpendicular axes.

In a preferred embodiment the range of angular motion of a MEMs device's platform is increased by reducing the field strength, i.e. the force per unit area, that is sensed at the outer free ends of the platform. Ideally two-step electrodes are provided with a lower step positioned beneath the outer free end of the platform.

Abstract: A communication jack with wire pair spacing structure includes an insulated body providing a receiving space and having two rows of parallelly arranged insulation displace contacts. A horizontal spacing member is located in and divides a space between the two rows of insulation displace contacts into two superposed spaces, namely, an upper and a lower space, and provided with two juxtaposed through holes to communicate the upper space with the lower space; and a vertical wall is downward extended from a bottom center of the horizontal spacing member to further divide the lower space into a left and a right channel. With the horizontal spacing member and the vertical wall, wire cores of a communication cable connected to the insulation displace contacts on the communication jack are effectively separated from one another to reduce cross talk between the wire cores.
