Abstract: Boot firmware for a computing device can be modularly and dynamically composed to facilitate implementing changes and updates to a computing device's firmware. The firmware image can include a primary module, which is responsible for certain basic initializations, and a module list, which can include a listing of additional modules that are to be executed during the boot procedure. The module list can be used to identify and access the selected modules from a module library, such as via globally unique identifiers (GUIDs). Once acquired, the selected modules can be executed, taking into account required dependency modules (whether included in the selected modules or not) and configuration settings. The module library can be stored entirely locally (e.g., as part of a distributed firmware image), entirely remotely (e.g., accessible via network connection), or a mixture of locally and remotely.

Abstract: Various solutions for low-power wake-up signal (LP-WUS) design with respect to user equipment and network node in mobile communications are described. An apparatus may receive a LP-WUS configuration from a network node. The apparatus may receive a LP-WUS based on the LP-WUS configuration from the network node. The apparatus may determine whether to wake up according to the LP-WUS. The LP-WUS with N subcarriers (SCs) is generated through a transformation of M-bit on-off keying (OOK) in a time domain. The transformation is a discrete Fourier transform (DFT) or least square operation. K samples are generated from the M bits with a signal modification or a signal truncation. The LP-WUS is generated through an inverse fast Fourier transform (IFFT) operation. The K is a size of the IFFT operation of cyclic-prefix orthogonal frequency-division multiple access (CP-OFDMA). The N is less than or equal to the K.

The third voltage signal is configured to have a first voltage level that is higher than a highest level of the first voltage signal or the second voltage signal, or lower than a lowest level of the first voltage signal or the second voltage signal.

Abstract: An infrared thermal emitter includes a substrate, a light-emitting unit and an infrared-emitting unit. The light-emitting unit is disposed on the substrate in a laminating direction and has a light-exiting surface away from the substrate. The infrared-emitting unit is disposed on the substrate in the laminating direction to cover the light-emitting unit and includes a layered structure having a light-absorbing layer that is aligned with the light-emitting unit in the laminating direction. The light-absorbing layer absorbs light emitted from the light-emitting unit so as to be heated up and to generate infrared radiation.

Abstract: A support frame for an exercise apparatus includes a base providing a fulcrum, and a moving arm member having a rotating portion located at one end thereof, and a swinging portion located at an opposite end thereof and equipped with a seat unit. The rotating portion is equipped with a wheel pedal unit and is rotatably supported on the fulcrum of the base. The swinging portion is swingable on the center of the rotating portion between a high position located far apart from the base, and a low position located in closer proximity to the base. The support frame is configurable to change the elevation difference between the seat unit and the wheel pedal unit in both a vertical direction and a horizontal direction. Thus, the elevation difference is relatively changed by means of moving the moving arm member relative to the base.

Abstract: A support frame for an exercise apparatus includes a base, and a smoothly arched moving arm member slidably coupled to the base. The moving arm member defines a first end connected to a wheel pedal unit and an opposing second end connected to a saddle unit, such that a distance difference between the first and second ends in the vertical direction, as well as in the horizontal direction, changes subject to changing the relative position between the moving arm member and the base. Thus, by means of moving the moving arm member relative to the base, the distance difference between the first and second ends is relatively changed, causing change of the relative position between the wheel pedal unit and the saddle unit. This allows the user to select a normal upright sitting exercise mode or a recumbent sitting exercise mode.

Abstract: An exercise apparatus includes a base providing a relatively higher first terminal end, a relatively lower second terminal end, and a track between the first and second terminal ends. The exercise apparatus also includes a seat unit movable along the track between a first position adjacent to the first terminal end and a second position located far apart from the first terminal end. A distance difference relative to the seat unit is produced by a wheel pedal unit movable along the track between a first pedaling position adjacent to the second terminal end and located horizontally far apart from the seat unit, and a second pedaling position located far from the second terminal end and horizontally adjacent to the seat unit. Thus, changing the position of the wheel pedal unit and the position of the seat unit can change the distance difference between the seat unit and the wheel pedal unit in both the vertical and horizontal directions.
