Abstract:
A dish rack has a stationary first rack portion and a second rack portion pivotably coupled to the first rack portion. The second rack portion can be adjusted to occupy a plurality of different positions with respect to the first rack portion. A pivoting mechanism couples the second rack portion to the first rack portion.
Abstract:
A trash can assembly has a lid pivotably coupled to an upper end of an outer shell, and a pivoting pedal bar that is coupled to the lid via a link rod. The closing motion of the lid is dampened by counter-balancing the closing force of the lid, which can be accomplished by generating a counter-balance force against the pedal bar that is equal to or slightly less than the closing force of the lid. The counter-balance force can be made to vary during the closing motion of the lid. In addition, the entire link rod can be positioned inside the interior of the outer shell, and the pivot axis of the lid about the outer shell can also also positioned inside the interior of the outer shell.
Abstract:
A trash can assembly has an outer shell having an enclosing wall, a top end, and a bottom end. The assembly includes a pedal bar pivotably coupled to the bottom end, a lid pivotably coupled to the top end, and a lifting rod that extends vertically inside the outer shell, with the lifting rod coupling the lid and the rear end of the pedal bar. An air damper is provided inside the outer shell and coupled to the rear of the pedal bar for applying an opposing force against the downward motion of the rear of the pedal bar.
Abstract:
A self-adhesive frame is applied in package of field emission display, the manufacturing method for the same and the package method by the same being also discussed in the specification. The self-adhesive frame can be designed as an independent component and suitable to be manufactured independently. The cathode plate and the anode plate do not need to join the process of pre-heating of the self-adhesive frame. The self-adhesive frame also has a plurality of fixing side strips for alignment of temporary fixing of the cathode plate and the anode plate. Wherein the fixing side strips do not increase the void area of the field emission display. The self-adhesive frame comprises: a main body frame having the cathode plate sealing surface and the anode plate sealing surface; and a fixing side strip extending from the outer side of the main body frame.
Abstract:
A method and a structure for a converging-type electron-emission source of a field-emission display are disclosed. A substrate is provided, and a silver paste is used to form a first electrode layer on the substrate by the process such as thick-film photolithography screen-printing. At least one pit is formed in the first electrode layer by etching, for example. A passivation layer is formed on the first electrode layer around the pit. A second electrode layer is formed in the recess by photolithography or electrophoresis, for example. Preferably, the second electrode layer is formed with a top surface lower than a periphery of the pit, such that a converging opening of the second electrode layer is formed over the second electrode layer. The passivation layer is then removed, followed by a step of sintering process.
Abstract:
A method of fabricating the parallel leading wire in a focusing mesh of field emission display and a structure thereof is provided. A cathode leading wire is formed along one edge of a cathode plate in a field emission display. When the metal mesh is formed on the cathode plate, one edge of the mesh becomes a leading wire parallel to another edge thereof. The leading wire has a designated length and a thickness thinner than the metal mesh. Without applying external force, the parallel leading wire is drooped and contacted the cathode plate because of itself weight. Be way of sintering, parallel leading wire is connected to cathode leading wire and enveloped by the metal mesh within the cathode plate.
Abstract:
A trash can assembly has a shell, a lid fitted over the top end of the shell, a pedal positioned adjacent the bottom end of the shell, a link assembly coupling the pedal and the lid, and a motion damper coupled to the link assembly for slowing the closing motion of the lid. The assembly also includes an inner liner that is retained inside the shell, with a support frame secured to the top end of the shell and having a ridge on which a peripheral lip of the inner liner rests. Two or more inner liners can be provided inside the shell. In addition, the lid can be pivotably connected to the upper edge of the outer shell by a connector which has a sleeve that is coupled to the upper edge of the outer shell, a non-metal tube that is positioned inside the sleeve, and a shaft received inside the bore of the tube.
Abstract:
A fluid pumping system can be operated in dual control modes: as a syringe pump for nano-flow solvent delivery; and as a reciprocating pump for micro- and analytical flow solvent delivery. The fluid pumping system is also operated in a closed-loop digital control process using an optical encoder for piston refill stroke begin and end synchronization with a switching valve On and Off. A multidimensional apparatus and procedure using up to 8 of the invented fluid pumps for a fully automated procedure such as ICA™ chemistry for cellular protein separation, identification and quantification.
