Abstract:
A pneumatic motor with dual air intake includes a pneumatic cylinder and a rotor. The pneumatic cylinder includes a cylinder body, and an elliptic-cylinder-shaped accommodating room located in the cylinder body. The cylinder body has two air inletting paths, two air venting paths, two air venting holes and a front axial hole, which communicate with the accommodating room and outside. The rotor includes a rotor body rotatably accommodated in the accommodating room of the pneumatic cylinder, a plurality of grooves parallel provided on the rotor body, a plurality of vanes accommodated in the grooves respectively, and a front axle extended from the rotor body and inserted through the front axial hole. As a result, the pneumatic motor with dual air intake is lowered in friction of the rotor when it rotates, raised in power output, and lowered in vibration when in use.
Abstract:
A method for sunless tanning is disclosed. The method includes applying an effective amount of an extract of cocoa rind to a skin of a subject in need thereof. The extract of cocoa rind is obtained by extracting a sample of cocoa rind by an aqueous ethanol solution with a concentration of ethanol being 50-75%. A method for darkening white hair is also disclosed.
Abstract:
A method, system, computer system and computer program product to enable a single interface to be used to prepare and present messages in a variety of different formats. For example, the single interface can be used to prepare, receive or display messages in different languages, such as English or Japanese, which require different character sets. Furthermore, the single interface supports preparing, sending, and receiving messages in multiple text formats, such as plain text, rich text, and Multiple Internet Mail Extension (MIME) format. A message can be received in a native format, and a format for providing a response to the message can be dynamically selected. The response is provided in the dynamically-selected format.
Abstract:
Embodiments of systems, methods, and software applications, which are configured to manage marketing templates that are to be used in e-mail marketing campaigns, are described in the present disclosure. According to one embodiment, among many, a computer readable medium is configured to store instructions that are executable by a processing device. The computer readable medium includes logic adapted to enable a user to create a marketing template and logic adapted to enable the user to publish the marketing template on one or more social networks. The computer readable medium also includes logic adapted to enable the user to incorporate the marketing template into an e-mail marketing campaign. Furthermore, the computer readable medium comprises logic that is adapted to track statistics related to recipients' responses to the e-mail marketing campaign.
Abstract:
A method, system, computer system, computer program product and application programming interface to support the use of multiple external messaging systems from within an application program and to track activities performed using any of the multiple external messaging systems. The application program allows a preferred messaging system to prepare, send, and receive messages from within the application program to be specified for each user of the application program. Multiple external messaging systems are available to be configured as the preferred or default messaging system for a given user. Activities performed using any of the external messaging systems can be tracked in a comprehensive collection of data about activity performed via the application program.
Abstract:
A fully differential continuous-time current-mode high-speed complimentary metal oxide semiconductor comparator is disclosed. The comparator includes an input and an output; a pre-amplifier clement coupled to each respective one of the plurality of inverters; an application switch operative to couple the pre-amplifier element to the input of a corresponding one of the plurality of inverters, the application switch having a first duty cycle; a current source operative to provide a bias current; and a bias switch operative to couple the bias current to each of the plurality of inverters, the bias switch having a duty cycle that is complementary to the duty cycle of the application switch, wherein the output of each of the plurality of inverters is pulled to about one-half the maximum output voltage level before a comparison between input signals is performed. By maintaining the comparator output at a substantially predetermined voltage level during non-operating periods, the switching characteristics of the comparator are enhanced.

Abstract:
Systems, methods, and software applications for managing slide presentation content are described in the present disclosure. According to one embodiment, among many, a computer readable medium is configured to store instructions that are executable by a processing device. The computer readable medium comprises logic adapted to enable a user to enter one or more search terms via a graphical user interface, the one or more search terms being used to initiate a text search of individual slides disassembled from one or more slide presentations and stored in an external database. Additional logic is adapted to display results of the text search on the graphical user interface, which displays a visual representation of a plurality of the individual slides resulting from the text search. The computer readable medium also includes logic adapted to enable a user to select one or more of the individual slides displayed on the graphical user interface.
