Abstract:
The invention relates to a system for verifying geographical descriptiveness of a media file, such as a picture. The system comprises storage means adapted to store a media file, communication means adapted to send said media file to a plurality of user terminals, and to receive, from the user terminals, data indicating a guessed geographical position with which the user of each user terminal associates the media file. The system also comprises calculation means adapted to determine whether the media file is indicative of a geographical position based on the guessed geographical positions received from the plurality of user terminal.
Abstract:
A method for preparing titania or precursor thereof with a controllable structure from micropore to mesopore is provided. The method is characterized in that the alkali metal titanate as raw material is reacted for 0.5˜72 hours in the wet atmosphere with humidity of 2˜100% at temperature of 20˜250° C., then washed with water or acid, finally performed by air roasting or solvent thermal treatment. The method has advantages that the raw material is easy to be obtained, the conditions and preparation are controllable, the pore structure may be adjusted from micropore to mesopore, crystal mixing and doping are easy, reacting time is short, preparing cost is low, and the said method is suitable for large scale production and so on. The most probable aperture of titanium oxide or precursor thereof with a controllable structure from micropore to mesopore is in the range of 1˜20 nm, the pore volume thereof is in the range of 0.05˜0.4 cm3/g, and the specific surface area thereof is more than 30 m2/g. The titania is at least one of anatase-phase titania, TiO2(B)-phase titania and rutile-phase titania.

Abstract:
A gravity sensing input system, a gravity sensing input method and an electronic device thereof are proposed. The gravity sensing input system includes a gravity sensor, an input module, a processing module and an output module. The gravity sensor detects a gravitational acceleration of the electronic device tilted towards a direction. The input module includes a plurality of input interfaces, where each one of the input interfaces corresponds to a plurality of letters, and the input module receives an input signal through one of the input interfaces. The processing module calculates an inclined angle between the electronic device and a reference plane according to the gravitational acceleration, and determines which one of the letters is selected according to the inclined angle and the input interface corresponding to the received input signal. Additionally, the output module outputs the letter selected by the processing module.

Abstract:
The number of times a single ad file must be sent for reception by a plurality of mobile hand held devices (MHDDs) without any error is reduced by the use of forward error correction (FEC) to achieve statistical coverage of a complete ad file download
Abstract:
Advertisements are transferred to mobile handheld displays (MHDs) during slack time, when the spectrum is not busy for download at, and storage on, the MHDs. The stored advertisements are then selectively rendered during available ad spots when the user is viewing content on the MHD. A main code page that comprises all of the pixels that are static within the ad is initially transmitted to the MHD. This transmission is then followed by the transmission of additional packets that include information that only concerns the pixels in the main code page that change from frame to frame, along with information regarding the location of such changes within the code page. There are typically only a small number of changes between frames in an ad, such that only a small amount of information need be transmitted to represent these changes, when compared to the amount of information contained in each frame of the ad. Thus, the bandwidth requirement for transmission of these changes is much less than that of the actual frames.
Abstract:
An addressable spot-guide (ASG) is the metadata generated from the advertisement (ad) campaign criteria, the schema of the available ad spots and the characteristics of the ad or ads inserted into the ad-spot. The ASG is generated and transferred into the mobile hand-held viewing platform, typically in advance of the content arrival, through any means available. The ASG enables the recognition, filtering, download and storage of ads on the viewing platform of the focused group for which the ad is meant. The ad is inserted into the content stream at the appropriate ad-spot based on the instructions contained in the ASG. As a result of the ASG, individuals in different target groups will view the same content, but different ads that are targeted to their personal characteristics. The ads are prioritized based on importance to the ad campaign.
Abstract:
A cigarette lighter comprises an ignition means which comprises a flint supported by a resilient element, a striker wheel and a pair of side driving wheels. The two side driving wheels are rotatably covered on two end portions of the striker wheel respectively, so that the two end portions of the striker wheel are respectively inserted into the two driving sockets of the two side driving wheels while the flint upwardly extending between the two side driving wheels and urging against the striker wheel. Normally, the two side driving wheels are disengaged with the striker wheel to prevent a minor from driving the striker wheel to rotate, however in order to ignite the Cigarette lighter, an adult must simultaneously press down the two side driving wheels until a top portion of the driving teeth of the two side driving wheels are engaged with a top portion of the striking teeth, and rotate the two side driving wheels to drive the striker wheel to rotate and strike against the flint to generate sparks.
