Abstract:
An internal combustion engine including at least one engine cylinder includes a cylinder cavity with first and second stopping members interconnected by a cylinder wall, the cylinder further includes two piston members slidably moveable within said cylinder cavity and between extreme positions intermediate between two stopping members, two piston members combust between their faces and cylinder wall pushing them with their power transmittal members alternatively to revolve the cogwheel and axle. By the ratchet function of power transmittal member or cogwheel, each piston has its free returning movement without clinging with the cogwheel and axle, allowing each piston continuously and alternatively revolves the axle without waste of energy for returning movements. An internal combustion engine having the free return movement by this invention has different choices of engine making in one or two pistons, one fuel or two fuels, stopping members or no stopping members for different engine requirements, substantially increases the usable engine power to enhance efficiency and reduces the weight to power ratio.
Abstract:
Techniques are described for exchanging data between software applications, such as project-related data between a project management software application (“PMSA”) and an unaffiliated organizational project tracking software application (“OPTSA”). A mapping and other related information may be defined for the data exchange, such as by defining data fields of the OPTSA database and PMSA data file that correspond, and optionally specifying related information such as additional processing to be performed for various data fields during the data exchange, conditions when a mapping is to be used, ordering information for data fields during import and/or export, preferred data formats for stored values, etc. Also, in some situations round-trip data import/export is performed for a single PMSA data file, which may include tracking whether data entity instances previously existed in the destination in order to support changes to stored inter-relationships between data entity instances.
Abstract:
A loudspeaker has a pot-shaped permanent magnet having an aperture in its axial pole. A light source in a translucent colored plastic plug is housed in the aperture. The light source is driven in accordance with the frequency and strength of the signal fed to the speaker. A translucent colored membrane or filter is glued to the speaker cone.
Abstract:
A hosting center that is remote from a plurality of customer environments is provided so that users can interact with data from the user's selected customer environment. The data interaction includes bidirectional synchronization of data between that of the hosting center and that of the user's selected customer environment.
Abstract:
An internal combustion engine including at least two engine cylinders, and each cylinder can process its own four-stroke cycle of fuel intake, compression, combustion and exhaustion with an open/shut device in between two adjacent cylinders. Fuels in different cylinders or different parts of a cylinder combust together as the open/shut device is opened at combusting time. Each cylinder is consuming different fuels, non-flammable liquid or gas, and water as a fuel for making use of the high temperature and pressure of the combustion of one fuel to dissociate the other fuel or non-flammable fuel into its original flammable elements by burning and combusting in high temperature and pressure. This engine cylinder configuration substantially increases the utilization of fuel and different kinds of fuels to enhance the advantages on flexible, economical, and environmental considerations.
Abstract:
Techniques are described for exchanging data between software applications, such as project-related data between a project management software application (“PMSA”) and an unaffiliated organizational project tracking software application (“OPTSA”). A computing architecture with multiple interacting computer systems, such as a client-server architecture, can be used to allow users of remote computing systems to access project-related data and/or functionality from other computing systems, such as a thin client computing system with limited or no local capabilities to execute software applications and/or store associated application data accessing a remote central server computing system in order to interact with a PMSA executing on the server, to interact with an OPTSA executing on the server, and/or to invoke data exchange functionality available at the server for exchanging project-related data between the PMSA and OPTSA.
