A shock absorbing member includes a first member composed of a first tube and a second tube which is located at a center of the first tube. Shock absorbing material is filled between the first tube and the second tube. Two second members are located below the first member and connected to the first member by at least one board. Each second member has a third tube and a fourth tube which extends through the third tube. Shock absorbing material is filled between the third tube and the fourth tube....

A method and apparatus for designing low-order linear-phase IIR filters is disclosed. Given an FIR filter, the method utilizes a new Krylov subspace projection method, called the rational Arnoldi method with adaptive orders, to synthesize an approximated IIR filter with small orders. The method is efficient in terms of computational complexity. The synthesized IIR filter can truly reflect essential dynamical features of the original FIR filter and indeed satisfies the design specifications. In p...

A detachable roller mold press includes two rollers that can rotate relative to each other. The rollers are securely fastened to a predetermined location, which can drive a press mold or a knife mold plate. The roller mold press of the present invention is detachable so as to save storage space. The detachable roller mold press includes a roller mechanism, a chassis, a bottom cover and two bridges. The roller mechanism includes two rollers that can rotate relative to each other. The front and th...

A method of searching paths that are susceptible to electrostatic discharge (ESD) at the beginning of an integrated circuit (IC) design is disclosed that includes a circuit spreading out algorithm, a matrix closure algorithm, and a supernode algorithm. The found paths are required to satisfy conditions including that (a) they are connected from a gate of a transistor to a source or a drain thereof, and (b) the head node and the tail node of each path are pins of a top level of the IC. -1/0/1 mat...

The stick container includes a cup, a sleeve and a base. The cup includes a placement portion for disposing thereon a lipstick, and a spiral shell pillar extended downward from the cup. The sleeve made of a hollow tube includes a locking portion formed on the bottom portion thereof. The base includes a threaded cylinder formed in the central portion thereof. The threaded cylinder includes a threaded portion corresponding to the spiral shell pillar. A locking portion is formed in the base corresp...

A light tube assembly includes a light tube and a stabilizer which includes a tubular body with copper members that are slidably engaged with curved slots in a base. A core with terminal plates is received in the tubular body and two locking pin 51s extend through grooves in the tubular body and are removably inserted into the base. An end cap is rotatably connected to the core and is positioned at three positions. The three positions allow the user to replace the base, to replace the light tube...

The invention relates to a device for laminating a layered structure (1), consisting of at least two plastic strips in sections, comprising successive panels with designs, for producing plastic cards along a conveyor path. Said device comprises heating and cooling devices (8, 9, 10, 11) which are positioned one behind the other and consist of individual compression elements, located on a common support (14), whose temperature can be controlled and which accommodate a whole number of panels and a...

A snore sensor incorporating a piezoelectric polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF) film material adapted to be adhered to the skin of a sleeping patient on the patient's throat for detecting mechanical vibrations due to snoring. The PVDF film has a layer of metallization on opposed major surfaces thereof which are insulated from one another by the PVDF material itself and elongated electrical leads individually connect to the metallization layers. One major surface of the film layer is covered by a lay...

A cardiac rhythm management device capable of delivering multiple uni-chamber stimulation pulses to a patient's heart and suitable for verifying capture independently for each uni-chamber stimulation pulse. The uni-chamber capture verification mode of the cardiac rhythm management device may be activated via telemetry or by applying a magnetic field proximate the device. During the capture verification mode, bi-chamber pacing, for example, may precede or follow uni-chamber pacing to allow for pa...

An automated weather alert system using GIS technology automatically ingests weather data and processes the weather data to determine if localized weather conditions pose a threat to any of a plurality of business operations, each of which have a known location. In the event such threat exists, an employee having responsibility for a threatened business operation is provided with an alert message and asked to acknowledge receipt. Additional notification is automatically provided to the employee'...
