Title: 光學滑鼠及其抬起狀態判斷方法
Inventor: HUNG TSE-LUN
IPC: G06F3/02
Filed: 2021-03-15
Granted: 2022-10-11
Abstract: 本發明係提供一種光學滑鼠及其抬起狀態判斷方法，在光學滑鼠的發光週期中發射大小不同的第一光訊號與第二光訊號，對應第一光訊號將接收第一反射圖像，對應第二光訊號將接收第二反射圖像，比對第一及第二反射圖像的照度參考值以獲得一比對結果，藉由該比對結果來判斷該光學滑鼠是否為抬起狀態，由於第一光訊號與第二光訊號的大小不同，故可預設所收到的第一及第二反射圖像之照度參考值將有所顯著差異，因此，若比對結果無顯著差異，則可明確判斷為抬起狀態，因而有效提高判斷光學滑鼠抬起狀態之準確率，且無須增設元件。

Title: Soluble coffee product
Inventor: RACHID BEL-RHLID
IPC: A23L/
Filed: 2007-12-20
Abstract: A coffee product derived from roast and ground coffee beans has reduced levels of chlorogenic acid lactones relative to the levels of chlorogenic acids. The product can be prepared by treating a coffee extract with an enzyme so as to hydrolyse at least a portion of the chlorogenic acid lactones present in the extract. Alternatively or additionally, it may be provided by contacting a coffee extract with a sorbent or solvent which is suitable for removing apolar components and is at least partially saturated with chlorogenic acid. The product has reduced bitterness.

Patent IN-190515-B (IN)
Inventor: OBERMEYER HENRY K
IPC: E02B7/20
Filed: 1996-06-14
Abstract: Tubular structures are described which are composed of multiple layers of reinforced material. The structures include at least one terminal end portion which includes one or more wedges between adjacent layers of reinforced material. The structures may be, for example, hoses, expansion joints, or actuators (e.g., air springs). The terminal end portions can be readily clamped together to make appropriate connections, or a terminal end portion can be clamped to a desired mounting surface.

Title: Conformal coating of polymer fibers on nonwoven substrates.
Inventor: GURGEL PATRICK VASCONCELOS
IPC: D01F11/00
Filed: 2009-06-10
Abstract: The present invention describes a novel process for the conformal coating of polymer fibers on nonwoven substrates. This process is based on the modification of polymer fiber surfaces by controlling the degree of etching and oxidation, which improves adhesion of initiators to the surface and facilitates subsequent conformal polymer grafting. The modified fiber surfaces render new functionalities to the surface, such as increasing hydrophilicity, attaching ligands or changing surface energy. The invention includes the modified polymer fibers produced by the process described herein.
Patent MX-336185-B (MX)
Title: Antimicrobial uv curable coating compositions.
Inventor: OU-YANG DAVID TIEN-TUNG
IPC: C09D4/00
Filed: 2009-11-25
Abstract: Antimicrobial compositions and methods are disclosed. The antimicrobial compositions are particularly useful in providing antimicrobial capability to a wide-range of medical devices. In one aspect the invention relates a UV curable antimicrobial coating comprising a UV curable composition comprising an oligomer, a momoner, and a photoinitiator which are together capable of forming a UV curable polymer composition. The compositions include rheology modifiers as necessary. The compositions also include antimicrobial agents, which may be selected from a wide array of agents. Representative antimicrobial agents include cetyl pyridium chloride, cetrimide, alexidine, chlorexidine diacetate, benzalkonium chloride, and o-phthalaldehyde.
