Abstract: A server has a processor and a memory storing instructions executed by the processor to maintain an ephemeral gallery of ephemeral messages. An ephemeral message is posted to the ephemeral gallery. The ephemeral message has an associated message duration parameter and a gallery participation parameter. An ephemeral message is removed from the ephemeral gallery in response to the identification of an expired gallery participation parameter.

The surfactant includes a polyglycol, an ethylene oxide, or a combination thereof. The digital printing ink has a viscosity of 2 cps to 12 cps, a surface tension of 28 dyne/cm to 40 dyne/cm, and a pH value of 6 to 8. A content of the chitosan is 5 wt. % to 10 wt. %, and a content of the surfactant is 2 wt. % to 5 wt. %, based on the total weight of the digital printing ink.

Abstract: A server maintains a multi-user gallery of ephemeral messages. Ephemeral messages are posted to the gallery by multiple different users for online viewing via a single, common gallery. In response to a gallery view request from any recipient device, the ephemeral messages in the multi-user are displayed on the requesting device in automated sequence, each message being displayed for a respective display duration before display of the next message in the gallery. Each ephemeral message is removed from the gallery, thus being unavailable, for viewing upon request, at expiry of a respective corresponding message availability parameter. An account administration interface is provided to enable multiple users to post to the multi-user gallery as a single organizational or celebrity account.

Abstract: A digital printing ink including a moisture absorption agent, a surfactant, an antifreeze agent, and a balance of a solvent is provided. The moisture absorption agent includes a block copolyester-ether. The surfactant includes a acrylic block copolymer. The antifreeze agent includes glycol. The digital printing ink has a viscosity of 2 cps to 12 cps, a surface tension of 28 dyne/cm to 40 dyne/cm, and a pH value of 6 to 8. A content of the moisture absorption agent is 5 wt. % to 11 wt. %, a content of the surfactant is 3 wt. % to 10 wt. %, and a content of the antifreeze agent is 3 wt. % to 5 wt. %, based on the total weight of the digital printing ink.

Abstract: Provided is a method of making colloidal platinum nanoparticles. The method includes three consecutive steps: dissolving platinum powders by a halogen-containing oxidizing agent in HCl to obtain an inorganic platinum solution containing an inorganic platinum compound; adding a reducing agent into the same reaction vessel to form a mixture solution and heating the mixture solution to undergo a reduction reaction and produce a composition containing platinum nanoparticles, residues and a gas, and guiding the gas out of the reaction vessel, wherein the amount of the residues is less than 15% by volume of the mixture solution; and adding a medium into the same reaction vessel to disperse the platinum nanoparticles to obtain colloidal platinum nanoparticles. The method is simple, safe, time-effective, cost-effective, and has the advantage of high yield.

Abstract: A server maintains a gallery of ephemeral messages. Each ephemeral message is posted to the gallery by a user for viewing by recipients via recipient devices. In response to a gallery view request from any of the recipient devices, the ephemeral messages in the gallery are displayed on the requesting device in automated sequence, each message being displayed for a respective display duration before display of the next message in the gallery. Each ephemeral message has an associated message availability parameter, at the expiry of which the ephemeral message is made unavailable for viewing as part of the gallery. At expiry of the message availability parameter of the last posted message, the gallery is made unavailable for viewing upon request by any recipient.

Abstract: A container-type data center includes an elongate container and a longitudinal rack row in the elongate container. The elongate container includes side walls, and the longitudinal rack row is arranged longitudinally in the elongate container. A cold aisle and a hot aisle are respectively formed between each of two sides of the server rack row and a corresponding one of the two side walls. The longitudinal rack row forms a single communication channel communicating the cold aisle with the hot aisle. The longitudinal rack row includes a server rack and an air conditioner rack. The communication channel allows staff to move between the cold aisle and the hot aisle and thus prevents air circulation from being effected by ambient environment due to entry and exit of the staff.

The method of the present invention comprises steps: providing a substrate; sequentially depositing a silicon dioxide layer and a silicon nitride layer on the substrate; forming a patterned photoresist layer on the silicon nitride layer; using the patterned photoresist layer as a mask to etch the silicon nitride layer and the silicon dioxide layer with the substrate partly etched away to form a protrusion; removing the patterned photoresist layer to form an isolation layer; removing the silicon nitride and the silicon dioxide layer, sequentially depositing a dielectric layer and a polysilicon layer; and anisotropically etching the polysilicon layer to form nanowires on a region of the dielectric layer, which is around sidewalls of the protrusion.
