Abstract:
A touch control arrangement is arranged for a container having a foldable cover being folded between an opened position and a closed position via an actuation unit. The touch control arrangement includes a power source and a touch actuator electrically linked to the power source, wherein the touch actuator is located out of the storage cavity of the container body and is arranged in such a manner that when the touch actuator is activated by a presence of a touch, the actuation unit is actuated to move the foldable cover from the closed position to the opened position.
Abstract:
A solvent spun bamboo fiber with a high wet modulus and a producing method thereof are disclosed. The producing method includes: activating by adding a bamboo pulp into de-ionized water, adjusting the pH value, adding cellulase and adjusting the pH value by adding alkali; squeezing by vacuum dehydration; pre-dissolving by adding an aqueous solution containing 50-88% by mass of N-methylmorpholine-N-oxide; then dissolving by putting the above pre-dissolved mixture into a dissolver, heating, vacuumizing, dehydrating, dissolving, homogenizing and defoaming; spinning by spraying through a spinneret and forming a bamboo fiber by dry-wet spinning; water washing; bleaching; oiling; and drying. The present method is simple to operate, free of industrial pollution, low energy consuming, and highly safe. The bamboo fiber produced by the present method not only keeps the natural physical and chemical properties of bamboo fiber, but also has a high wet modulus without harmful chemical residues.
Abstract:
Systems, methods, and other embodiments associated with selective notch filtering for howling suppression are described. According to one embodiment, an apparatus includes a howling detector that detects howling by performing a time domain analysis of speech signals to identify a speech signal that may be exhibiting howling and performing frequency domain analysis to confirm that the speech signal is exhibiting howling. The apparatus also includes a suppression selector configured to select a suppression technique, a signal processor configured to process the speech signal according to a selected suppression technique. The apparatus outputs, without suppression-related processing, speech signals that are not identified based on the time domain analysis. In another embodiment a method includes analyzing a speech signal to detect howling and when howling is detected, selecting, based on the howling analysis, a howling suppression technique from a set of howling suppression techniques that includes at least two different howling suppression techniques.
Abstract:
Provided are methods for transmitting two or more data streams through the same cable. The cable includes at least two sets of conductive points, each set capable of independently transmitting a separate data stream. The cable may be USB 2.0 type cable. Pins 2 and 3 may be assigned for transmitting one data stream, while pins 4 and 5 may be assigned for transmitting another data stream. For example, one data stream may be audio-video signal transmitted to an audio-video receiver.
Abstract:
A lid operation arrangement of a container includes an automatic operated unit for automatically operating a lid panel, a foot operated unit for manually operating the lid panel, and a motorized unit operatively linked with the automatic operated unit and the foot operated unit. When the motorized unit is activated by the automatic operated unit, the motorized unit is arranged for generating a torque enhancing force to move the lid panel from the opened position to the closed position and for generating a decelerating force to move the lid panel back to the closed position from the opened position in a hydraulic manner. After the lid panel is lifted up to the opened position by the foot operated unit, the motorized unit only generates the decelerating force to move the lid panel back to the closed position from the opened position in a hydraulic manner.
Abstract:
Provided are methods and systems for video data processing. In an exemplary system, there is a video source and a display unit. The display unit may receive video data from the video source and display it at a first refresh rate. The video source may cause the display unit to enter a power economy mode, in which the displayed video is static. In this mode, the video source stops sending new video data, while the display unit selectively stores one or more of the previously received video frames and further displays it repeatedly at a second refresh rate, which may be lower than the first refresh rate (e.g., it may be decreased from 60 Hz to 40 Hz). In the power economy mode, the power consumed may be decreased by about 10-20% for both the video source and the display unit in some embodiments.
Abstract:
A method and network device (e.g., a switch) is described for assigning virtual Ethernet bindings. The method may comprise accessing the network device to obtain information related to hardware (e.g., switching hardware) of the network device. Thereafter, an uplink binding from a plurality of physical uplinks is selected based on the information. A virtual network interface of a virtual machine is then mapped to the selected uplink binding.
Abstract:
A method and apparatus are provided for transmitting multimedia data between terminals during a call. In response to a request for multimedia data transmission initiated from one of the terminals in the call, a communication device may transmit the multimedia data to one or more of the terminals in the call. The communication device may comprise a reception unit for receiving the multimedia data transmission request initiated from one of the terminals in the call, a transmission unit to transmit the multimedia data to one or more of the terminals in the call, a storage unit to store multimedia data, and a recording unit to record information for a terminal.
Abstract:
The present invention discloses a method, a server and a terminal of audio-video on demand (AVOD). The method comprises: receiving an audio-video resource request from an AVOD terminal; determining an assigned network the AVOD terminal. belonging to in accordance with the audio-video resource request; determining resource nodes having the audio-video resource in the assigned network; generating a resource list according to the resource nodes having the audio-video resource in the assigned network; transmitting the resource list to the AVOD terminal so that the AVOD terminal acquires the audio-video resource according to the resource list. The present invention achieves both a smooth multiuser concurrent online AVOD and a reducing cost consumption of a network system.
