Title: Easy-type water pressure reducing apparatus
Inventor: LO SHUN-NAN
IPC: F16K1/32
Filed: 2007-08-02
Granted: 2012-10-09
Abstract: An easy-type water pressure reducing apparatus comprises a connecting tube having a bore extending through an inlet end and an outlet end. The bore has an annular seat with a smaller-diameter inlet chamber integrally extending at both sides to which a movable element with an inlet port to receive a spring element is mounted. The movable element also includes positioning guide blocks to fit to water- guiding vents of the inlet chamber, and a ringed groove with a sealing ring to abut tight against the inlet chamber, forming a back-and-forth movable positioning space there-between. Therefore, when water pressure at the outlet end is larger than that at the inlet end, water flow blocked by a water plug of the movable element will push the movable element towards the inlet end, compressing the spring element and closing the water-guiding vents gradually to reduce the water flow and stabilize the water pressure thereby.

Abstract: This invention relates to a method for forming a multi-layer coating, by sequentially applying a primer surfacer, a base coat composition, and a clear coat composition on an automotive substrate in a wet-on-wet-on-wet manner, and simultaneously curing the applied three layers together in a single baking step. The primer surfacer comprises: a film forming binder, a volatile organic liquid carrier, and pigment(s); and the binder contains about: 40 to 95% by weight of a highly branched acrylic polymer having a hydroxyl, carboxyl and/or other crosslinkable functional group monomer content of about 1 to 65%; and 5 to 60% by weight of an aminoplast resin crosslinking agent. The composition is essentially free of crosslinked nonaqueous dispersion resin particles or crosslinked microgel resin particles or both. The resulting multi-layered coating film has excellent aesthetic appearance, strike-in resistance, chipping resistance, sag resistance, and film build even when formed in a three wet layered application method.

Abstract: An airflow signal corresponding to the breathing of the patient is obtained. A section corresponding to inspiration, having a front portion and a middle portion, is found within the airflow signal. A peak value of the front portion is found, which is compared with a value representing the airflow of the middle portion. The presence of resisted breathing is determined based on the comparison between the peak value of the front portion with a value representing the airflow of the middle portion. A baseline value of the airflow signal is found by calculating the mode of values within an airflow signal representing the pressure within a patient's naris. The section corresponding to inspiration is determined by finding peak inspiration and baseline values within a breath and searching from the peak until the baseline is reached to find the section of inspiration.

Abstract: Provided is a wind turbine generator system that can more accurately perform cut-out control by monitoring a measured value from an anemometer for abnormality. The wind turbine generator system includes, in a nacelle mounted atop a tower, a main shaft that is coupled to a rotor head to which wind turbine blades are attached and that integrally rotates therewith, a gear box accelerating and outputting the rotation speed of the main shaft, a generator driven by the output of the gear box , and a controller that performs cut-out control during strong wind when a measured value from an anemometer is a predetermined level or more. The controller is configured to determine that the anemometer has a fault when a difference between the measured value from the anemometer and an estimated wind speed value, obtained from a relationship between a blade-pitch-angle of the wind turbine blades and an output of the generator is equal to or greater than a predetermined threshold.
