20130209699 | Long-lasting water-repellent textile treatment process using an ambient temperature curable polydimethylsiloxane-containing polyurethane PU system - A long-lasting water-repellency textile application that uses a polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS)-containing polyurethane (PU) involves a manufacturing process of NCO-terminated PU prepolymer of PDMS diols and polyisocyanate with a catalyst for forming a moisture-curable PDMS-containing PU oligomer, or becoming an UV-curable PDMS-containing PU oligomer after a chemical reaction takes place. The PU oligomer owns PDMS moiety with water-repellent properties. The moisture- or UV-curable PU with NCO and acrylate end-groups can create cross-linked polymeric networks between fibers of textiles by exposing to the air or UV-radiation. The final cross-linked PDMS-containing PU treated textile demonstrates long-lasting water-repellent properties with an excellent soft hand feel and a breathable feature. Furthermore, the textile water-repellent treatment is cost-effective, and most importantly these two different curing processes could be carried out at ambient temperature without requiring any waste water discharge. Therefore, these textile water repellent treatments are considered as environmental friendly green processes. | 08-15-2013 |
20140242292 | POLYURETHANE PREPOLYMER PREPARED BY FUNCTIONAL POLYURETHANE PREPOLYMER AND APPLICATION THEREOF - A method of preparing polyurethane prepolymer does not require using a toxic isocyanate monomer (manufactured by harmful phosgene) as a raw material. Epoxy resin and carbon dioxide are used as major raw materials to form cyclic carbonates to be reacted with a functional group oligomer, and then amino groups in a hydrophilic (ether group) or hydrophobic (siloxane group) diamine polymer are used for performing a ring-opening polymerization, and the microwave irradiation is used in the ring-opening polymerization to efficiently synthesize the amino-terminated PU prepolymer, and then an acrylic group at an end is added to manufacture an UV cross-linking PU (UV-PU) oligomer which can be coated onto a fabric surface, and the fabric is dried by UV radiation for a surface treatment to form a washing-resisted long lasting hydrophilic or hydrophobic PU fabric. | 08-28-2014 |
20140308128 | FAN SYSTEM - A fan system suitable for an electronic device is provided. The fan system includes a fan module and a fan protecting module. The fan module includes a base and a fan blade assembly. The base is disposed at the electronic device and has a chamber. The fan blade assembly includes a fan blade and a shaft portion. The fan blade is fixed on the shaft portion. The shaft portion is rotatably contained in the chamber. The fan protecting module includes an electromagnetic component and an accelerometer. The electromagnetic component is disposed at a position adjacent to the shaft portion. The accelerometer is disposed in the electronic device and coupled to the electromagnetic component. When an acceleration of the electronic device detected by the accelerometer is greater than a threshold value, the electromagnetic component applies magnetic force to the shaft portion to prevent the shaft portion from overly shifting or deflecting. | 10-16-2014 |
20150039138 | VIBRATION SUPPRESSING APPARATUS AND VIBRATION SUPPRESSING METHOD THEREOF - A vibration suppressing apparatus and a vibration suppressing method thereof are provided. The vibration amplitude, vibration frequency, and vibration phase of a vibration suppressing unit are adjusted in real-time according to the vibration amplitude, vibration frequency and vibration phase of a vibration source. | 02-05-2015 |
20150098175 | HINGE STRUCTURE AND ELECTRONIC DEVICE HAVING THE SAME - A hinge structure includes a hinge, a first bracket, a second bracket and a third bracket. The first bracket and the second bracket are pivoted with each other through the hinge, wherein the second bracket has a first connecting portion. The third bracket has a second connecting portion, wherein the second connecting portion is rotatably connected to the first connecting portion. When the third bracket receives a force and wobbles, the second connecting portion rotates relatively to the first connecting portion, and a kinetic energy of the third bracket is consumed by a kinetic friction between the first connecting portion and the second connecting portion. In addition, an electronic device having the hinge structure is also provided. | 04-09-2015 |
20150116921 | ELECTRONIC DEVICE - An electronic device includes a first body, a second body, a first rotary shaft and a flexible display panel. The second body is movably connected to the first body and is adapted to lean against the first body or separate from the first body. The first rotary shaft is pivotally connected to the first body. The flexible display panel is connected between the first and second bodies. When the second body is at the first position, a first section of the flexible display panel is rolled around the first rotary shaft, and a second section of the flexible display panel is expanded between the first and second bodies. When the second body is at the second position, a part of the first section and the second section are expanded between the first and second bodies. | 04-30-2015 |
20150137723 | ELECTRONIC APPARATUS AND PROTECTING METHOD THEREOF - An electronic apparatus includes a first casing, a protected device, a detector, a first actuator and a controller. The protected device is spaced apart from the first casing by a first shortest distance. The detector is configured to detect a first early sign before a first collision of the first casing and the protected device. The controller is configured to actuate the first actuator after the detector detects the first early sign, causing an increase of the first shortest distance. | 05-21-2015 |
20160001712 | SWITCHING METHOD AND COMPUTER SYSTEM BASED ON SIGNAL INTENSITY - A switching method for a multimedia player of a vehicle includes setting an operational mode for playing a predetermined signal; the multimedia player receiving a broadcasted signal to determine whether an intensity signal corresponding to the broadcasted signal exceeds a threshold value when the multimedia player processes a broadcast mode; and the multimedia player processing the operational mode for playing the predetermined signal when the intensity signal corresponding to the broadcasted signal is smaller than the threshold signal; wherein the predetermined signal is a source signal from a CD/DVD multimedia player, an audio multimedia player or a mobile device, or is a silent signal. | 01-07-2016 |
