Abstract:
A series of curing agents are provided. The curing agents are multi-functional and phosphorus-containing. The curing agents have excellent processability to be used as an epoxy resin curing agent. The curing agents can be cured to obtain a phosphorus-containing epoxy thermoset with flame retardancy characteristic. The epoxy thermosets are very fit for circuit board substrate having high glass transition temperature; semiconductor packaging material; and related materials.
Abstract:
A method for parallel magnetic resonance imaging (“pMRI”) that does not require the explicit estimation of a coil sensitivity map is provided. Individual coil images are reconstructed from undersampled scan data that is acquired with a radio frequency (RF) coil array having multiple coil channels. An inverse operator is formed from autocalibration scan (ACS) data, and is applied to the acquired scan data in order to produce reconstruction coefficients. Missing k-space lines in the undersampled scan data are synthesized by interpolating k-space lines in the acquired scan data using the reconstruction coefficients. From the acquired scan data and the synthesized missing k-space lines, individual coil images are reconstructed and combined to form an image of the subject.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to a monochromatic measurement system. The system mainly includes a monochromator, a light-detecting device and a filter device. The monochromator functions to split light under test into respective light beams with different wavelengths. The filter device modulates the transmission efficiency of the respective light beams, so that the wavelengths of the light beams to which the light-detecting device displays a better response have a lower transmission efficiency while the wavelengths of the light beams to which the light-detecting device displays a lower response have a higher transmission efficiency. The response values measured by the light-detecting device with respect to different wavelength intervals are normalized accordingly. The measurement errors attributed to the measurement precision of the instrument and the environmental noise are independent from the variation of wavelength. The reliability of the measurement instrument is elevated.
Abstract:
A light emitting diode (LED) lamp has a seat with a base, a cover mounted on the seat, and an AC fan, a heat sink and an AC LED light source mounted in the seat. The AC fan and the AC LED light source are electrically connected to the base of the seat. An AC directly provides to and drives the AC fan and the AC LED light source and no converter module is needed. Therefore, the LED lamp is quiet, energy saving and has good heat dissipation and low manufacturing costs for a prolonged operating life.

Abstract:
A photovoltaic apparatus, through which an antenna is allowed to transmit and receive radio-frequency signals, includes a photovoltaic material and conducting electrodes. The photovoltaic material is used for converting photon energy into electrical energy, and the conducting electrodes collect and transfer the electrical energy generated by the photovoltaic material. The arrangement of the conducting electrodes forms a frequency selective surface placed in the transmitting or receiving path of the antenna. The frequency selective surface and the antenna have a spacing there between. The projection of the frequency selective surface in the transmitting or receiving path of the antenna covers the antenna.
