Abstract: A cartridge includes a cartridge shell, and a movable structure and an atomizing structure received in the cartridge shell. The cartridge shell is provided with a vent hole. The movable structure includes an isolation guiding tube received in the cartridge shell and a movable tube at least partially disposed in the isolation guiding tube. The movable tube includes an operating portion and a shielding portion connected to a lower end of the operating portion. The operating portion is located in the isolation guiding tube and one end of the operating portion extends out from the vent hole. The atomizing structure is provided with a liquid inlet hole. The shielding portion is movably sleeved on the atomizing structure to shield or expose the liquid inlet hole, to cause the liquid inlet hole to be isolated from or in communication with the liquid storage chamber.
Abstract: A bed frame that can be assembled without the use of tools. The bed frame can also be easily collapsed into a relatively compact package since the normal long side rails are comprised of two components that can be manipulated such that the two components can be in an end to end orientation when the side rails used in a bed frame or in a generally side by side orientation to facilitate shipping and storage. The cross rails can also be formed of two components that can be moved between an end to end orientation and a generally parallel orientation. A locking system locks certain of the components into a fixed position when in the end to end orientation.

Abstract: A heat-pump system is provided that includes an outdoor heat exchanger, an expansion device, an indoor heat exchanger, a compressor, and a multiway valve. The expansion device is in fluid communication with the outdoor heat exchanger. The indoor heat exchanger is in fluid communication with the expansion device. The compressor circulates working fluid through the indoor and outdoor heat exchangers. The multiway valve is movable between a first position corresponding to a cooling mode of the heat-pump system and a second position corresponding to a heating mode of the heat-pump system. The working fluid flows in the same direction through the outdoor heat exchanger in the cooling mode and in the heating mode, and the working fluid flows in the same direction through the indoor heat exchanger in the cooling mode and in the heating mode.
Abstract: Disclosed herein is a method of operating a virtual controller in a gaming watch, comprising: by the virtual controller, receiving a wearer's gesture information including at least real-time spatial position data of a gyroscope, a real-time speed of current movement, an instantaneous turning speed, an instantaneous pitching speed and an instantaneous maximum speed; during continuous motion of the gyroscope, by the virtual controller, preprocessing the gesture information, and determining speed data generated by movement in a small range as “no real action” for removal; further processing valid data, including according to a configuration, dynamically generating specified grids to form a control panel of a virtual controller; moving a control object of the virtual controller; triggering determination result customized by the virtual controller; continuously adjusting a threshold, and converting the data; and identifying the data for display through an open source engine.
Abstract: The present disclosure relates to an implementation for a trusted computing system. According to the embodiments of the present disclosure, a master controller in an SSD, which is necessarily configured in the system, is used to provide all necessary security functionality of the system's RoT. The system does not need to contain any special RoT chip or module, does not need any modifications in the system design, is easy to adopt, and can be implemented by any system comprising a hard drive. All necessary security functions are completed by the master controller of the system's hard drive. Thus, not only can the cost of the security module be reduced, but more importantly, the mechanism directly protects information and resources (e.g., operating system, user programs, user data, etc.) that actually need to be protected in the system, and once the mechanism is enabled, the protection function cannot be bypassed.
Abstract: A cleaning device including a disinfection water supply portion to supply cleaning water with a dissolved disinfection component, and a bubble generation portion to contain bubbles into the cleaning water on a downstream side of the disinfection water supply portion.
Abstract: An embodiment structure includes a housing configured to be mounted on a door of a vehicle, a casing configured to be movable in the housing, a striker mounted at one side of the casing and configured to be fixed by being caught by a latch part or released, a casing guide unit connected to the casing and configured to guide a forward movement of the casing, an elastic force providing unit configured to apply elastic force in a rearward direction of the casing, and an operating unit configured to move the casing guide unit forward or rearward.

Abstract: A biodegradable casket assembly for burying remains of a deceased individual includes a casket which is comprised of pressed cannabis thereby facilitating the casket to decompose when the casket is buried with human remains. An insert is insertable into the casket and the insert is comprised of a rigid material such that the insert impart structural rigidity to the casket. A lid is comprised of pressed cannabis thereby facilitating the lid to decompose when the lid and the casket are buried with human remains. A plurality of rods is each of the rods is coupled to and extends away from the casket such that each of the rods can be gripped for carrying the casket.
Abstract: Provided are a method and apparatus for processing a deterministic networking (DetNet) data packet. The method includes: performing, by a DetNet node, format encapsulation on a data packet of a DetNet application flow when the DetNet application flow passes through a multiprotocol label switching (MPLS) network, wherein an encapsulated data packet comprises a label indication and a flow identifier header; and forwarding the encapsulated data packet in the MPLS network.
Abstract: A vehicular exterior door handle assembly includes a base, a handle movable relative to the base between recessed and deployed positions, an actuator that is operable to move the handle between the positions, and a connection mechanism that pivots relative to the base to move the handle between the positions. The actuator operates to pull and release a cable to pivot the connection mechanism to move the handle. The connection mechanism, when the actuator is operated to pull the cable, pivots in a first direction to move the handle from the recessed toward the deployed position. A biasing element of the connection mechanism biases the connection mechanism in a second direction to move the handle toward the recessed position when the actuator releases the cable. Responsive to cable tension being reduced by a threshold amount, the connection mechanism adjusts to increase tension.
Abstract: Methods and systems for tracking driver behavior across a variety of vehicles are described herein. One or more first performance metrics which indicate performance of a first vehicle when driven by a user may be determined. One or more second performance metrics indicating performance of a second vehicle when driven by the user may be determined. The first vehicle and the second vehicle may be compared to determine a vehicle difference. The performance metrics may be compared. One or more third performance metrics that predict performance of a third vehicle, different from the first vehicle and the second vehicle, when driven by the user may be determined based on the vehicle difference and the comparison. Whether to provide the user access to the third vehicle may be determined based on the one or more third performance metrics.
