Abstract:
A power conversion system and a power conversion method thereof. The power conversion system includes a driving unit, a control unit, a first direct current (DC) power supply circuit and a second DC power supply circuit. The control unit controls the driving unit to drive a load. The first DC power supply circuit converts an alternating current (AC) power into a first DC power outputted to the driving unit, and the second DC power supply circuit converts the AC power into a second DC power outputted to the control unit.
Abstract:
This invention relates to a pectin-modified resistant starch prepared by cross-linking starch with pectin by pectinesterase reaction. Such resistant starch is low amylase digestible and thus is useful in food products, including nutritional supplements, to reduce calorie content and increase fiber content. This invention also relates to a composition containing the resistant starch and a process for the preparation of the same.
Abstract:
A hard coat composition comprising a cationic acrylic polymer is disclosed. The hard coat is suitable for application to a substrate, and can be used without an adhesive promoting primer.
Abstract:
Multi-layer coatings are disclosed that include (a) a first layer deposited from at least one composition that includes a polymeric composition, and (b) a second layer applied over at least a portion of the first layer in which the second layer is deposited from at least one liquid composition that includes (i) a photocatalytic material, and (ii) a binder that is hydrophilic and comprises an essentially completely hydrolyzed organosilicate. Also disclosed are substrates coated with such multi-layer coatings, methods of applying such multi-layer coatings to a substrate and methods of making a painted surface easy-to-clean.
Abstract:
An apparatus (2) for automatically laying out punching tools on a turret is used in a computer-aided manufacturing system for sheet-metal punching. The system includes a server (1), a database (3), and client computers (7). The apparatus resides in the server, and is used for receiving drawings from the client computers to obtain information on workpieces, selecting punching tools in accordance with sizes and shapes of each type of drawing entity of the workpieces and in accordance with materials of the workpieces and machining allowances set by users, selecting a corresponding tool station on the turret for each of the selected punching tools in accordance with a type of the turret and specifications of the selected punching tool, mounting each punching tool on the corresponding tool station, selecting an optimum manufacturing path for each punching tool, and recording punching tool layout information. A related method is also provided.

Abstract:
A safety harness includes an endless main belt hung on a suspension cable, a saddle fastened to the endless main belt at a bottom side remote from the suspension cable, a stretcher transversely fastened to two parallel sections of the endless main belt and vertically spaced between the suspension cable and the saddle to impart a space within the endless main belt for movement of the user's head, two supplementary belts fastened to the main belt and defining with it three vertically spaced pairs of insertion holes, a chest strap and a waist strap and two thigh straps respectively inserted through the insertion holes and fastened to the user's chest, waist and thighs by respective buckles for securing the user to the saddle.
Abstract:
A cabinet structure includes a parallelepiped frame having a top side, a bottom side, a front side, a rear side and two opposite lateral sides. A drawer is provided on the upper portion of the frame, having a front panel comprised of four boards overlapping each other and releasably secured together by means of a bolt. Two L-shaped door panels are respectively hinged to two opposite sides of the frame to openably cover the front side. By opening the two door panels to be opposite to each other and un-folding the boards of the front panel of the drawer to have the boards supported on the L-shaped door panels, a stair-like platform ladder is formed with the top side of the cabinet serving as the platform. A safety rack is provided on the platform and is collapsible into a channel formed inside the cabinet so as to be selectively expanded when the cabinet is converted into the platform ladder. A bench includes a horizontal top plate having a first end movably received within and supported by the cabinet and a second end selectively extendible out of one of the lateral sides of the cabinet and supported by a vertical support plate so that the bench is selectively expanded from the cabinet. A stool is removably stored inside the cabinet and is selectively and removably mounted to the platform to provide an additional step to the ladder.
