Abstract:
A device and method for cleaning fans in range or stove hoods by spraying steam onto the fan impeller area on which soot and cooking fumes condense to clean the impeller and wash the accumulated condensates down a drain. By using steam above atmospheric pressure as the cleaning fluid, the device uses significantly less water that other devices that spray water or an aqueous solution to clean the fan blades.
Abstract:
A wireless image transmission device includes an image processing main body; an image display unit electrically connected to the image processing main body; a first switching unit electrically connected to between the image processing main body and the image display unit; an image shooting control unit electrically connected to the first switching unit; and a wireless transmission unit electrically connected to the image shooting control unit. With these arrangements, images to be wirelessly transmitted from the wireless image device need not be converted in file type, so that the wireless image transmission device can have high transmission efficiency and simplified overall configuration to overcome the drawback of complicated configuration in the prior art wireless image transmission device.
Abstract:
A razor having a base, a ceramic blade installed in the base, a plurality of ceramic rollers installed in the base at two sides of the ceramic blade. The base has a lid having a slit allowing an edge of the blade to extend through and a plurality of openings allowing portions of the rollers to extend through. The rollers are supported by at least one resilient member such that the exposed portions of the rollers can be pressed inwardly for shaving and retrieved to the original height when the pressing force is relieved.

Abstract:
The present invention relates to an improved method for assembling a stacked plate electrochemical device. According to an exemplary embodiment of the invention, two pairs of electrodes are provided: two cathodes and two anodes. Each electrode in each pair is connected to the other electrode via conductive interconnects. The pairs of electrodes are then folded together forming an electrode package, such that the cathodes and anodes alternate position within the electrode package. A number of electrode packages are then stacked together depending on the desired number of electrodes in the stacked plate cell. The stacked electrodes are then placed in a cell can and the conductive interconnects are connected to the cell can terminals to form the stacked plate electrochemical device. Processes according to exemplary embodiments of the present invention result in a faster, more efficient assembly time for the stacked plate electrochemical device.
Abstract:
A programmable logic device includes a plurality of logic blocks organized into a cluster. Each logic block may be configured into a logic mode and a memory mode. The logic blocks are arranged into at least one cluster, each cluster having a data bus configured to provide data words to logic blocks within its cluster.
Abstract:
A fast disassembling joint structure includes a base part and a removable part. One end of the removable part is secured to a desired structure; the other end is a connection arm. The housing has a raceway and a first semi-circular concavity. The movable clamp has an insertion section to engage a recess of the connection arm. The insertion section has a second semi-circular concavity to fit with the first semi-circular concavity so as to pivotally connect with the connection arm. A spring is adapted to provide a push force for the movable clamp. A top cover, secured on the housing, is employed to house the spring and movable clamp inside. A handle of the movable clamp extends out of an opening of the cover so that users can manually control the handle to disassemble the removable part.
Abstract:
A ring assembly for a pen has a bottom ring, a top ring, and a slender bridge connecting the bottom ring and the top ring. In assembly, a barrel of the pen extends through the bottom ring and the top ring, so that a sticker adhered around the barrel is securely attached to the barrel by clamping of the top ring and the bottom ring. Furthermore, a gap formed by two conjunct sides of the sticker is concealed by the bridge. By such arrangement, the ring assembly is able to be decorative and to avoid peeling of the sticker from the barrel after long-term use.
Abstract:
A dual-purpose pen has a barrel, a cap engaged with the barrel, and a ball point that is extendable from the end of the barrel, and a key-pressing point that is extendable from the end of the cap. The pen can be used for writing when the ball point is extended and for pressing keys when the key-pressing point is extended.
