Abstract: A controllable and stable sinking/floating system for cage aquaculture is illustrated, which has a net cage and the sinking/floating units. The net cage comprises a frame and a net body installed on the frame. The sinking/floating units are installed on the frame, each of the sinking/floating units comprises a water storage chamber and a liquid flow controller, the water storage chamber has an inlet and an outlet, and the liquid flow controller controls water to flow out via the outlet from the water storage chamber or to flow into the water storage chamber via the inlet. When the water flows out via the outlet from the water storage chamber, the sinking/floating unit floats; and when the water flows into the water storage chamber via the inlet, the sinking/floating unit sinks.

Abstract: A depth wire-controlled aquaculture device, having a net cage, float balls, a depth sensor and at least one wire control module, is illustrated. The net cage has a frame and a net body. The float balls are connected to the net cage. The depth sensor is installed on the net cage and detects an underwater depth of the net cage to generate a depth signal. The wire control module comprises a controller, a reel, a driver and a connection wire. The connection wire is connected to the net cage and wound around the reel, the controller is signally connected the depth sensor and the driver, the depth signal is transmitted to the controller, the controller controls the driver according to the depth signal, and the driver drives the reel to rotate to draw or release the connection wire, so as to change the underwater depth of the net cage.

Abstract: The present disclosure relates to an automatically sinking cage net system, comprising: the cage net body includes a floating frame and a net body; a working platform including an accelerometer, a first processing module and a first wireless communication module; a floating barrel, at least having a first opening, a gas flow controller, a water level sensor, a programmable control module, a second processing module, a second wireless communication module and a second opening; and a marine environment monitoring system, including a human-machine interface, a marine environment monitoring module, a data storage module, a third processing module, and a third wireless communication module; wherein the first wireless communication module, the second wireless communication module and the third wireless communication module are in signal connection with each other. The present disclosure provides an automatically sinking cage net system to improve the conventional shortcomings caused by manual operation.

Abstract: The disclosure is related to a method and a system for processing composited images. The method is operated in a computer. A software-enabled user interface is provided for a user to create a composited image using a touch screen. In the beginning, in response to the user's manipulation, at least two images are retrieved from a database. A background image and a foreground image are selected from the images. The user interface allows the user using a gesture over the background image displayed on the touch screen for generating a series of touch signals covering a specific area. The touch signals render a mask image. The mask is applied to the foreground image. The mask image of the background image covers the foreground image so as to create a new foreground image. The composited image is created when the new foreground image is composited with the background image.

Abstract: The disclosure is related to a method and a computer apparatus for processing a border of a computer figure and merging the figure into a background image. In the method, a user interface is provided for the user to operate the computer figure through a touch screen. The computer figure is configured to be merged into a background image, or a specific image object. The computer figure is processed by performing a border-treatment algorithm when it is moved and combined with the background image. In the process of border-treatment, the graphic information of the background image is taken into consideration. The computer figure is allowed to be well merged into the background image by considering the background's graphic information when the images are combined. Therefore, a visual effect of fusing the images can be achieved.

Abstract: A retractable suspension system for use with an amphibious vehicle is provided and includes three rotation points disposed on the vehicle body of the vehicle, three integration points disposed on an integration element of a tire, an actuating device and a damping component, so as to render the retractable suspension system structurally simple and multifunctional.

Abstract: A ligament laxity measuring system for measuring ligament laxity between a first limb and a second limb connected to each other includes a force module, an angle sensing module and a data processing module. The force module disposed on the first limb is adapted to provide an external force to make the first limb pivot or twist with respect to the second limb, thereby generating a pivoting (varus/valgus) value and a twisting (rotational) value. The force module generates a force signal based on the external force. Opposite two segments of the angle sensing module are disposed on the first limb and the second limb respectively. The angle sensing module is used for sensing the pivoting value and the twisting value of the first limb and generating an angle signal. The data processing module is connected to the force sensor of the force module and the angle sensing module.

Abstract: A docking station for use with a wireless communication device is provided. The docking station includes a base, a handset and a transmission device.

Abstract: Embodiments of a device for providing an interface to the Internet using standard analog telephones and household telephone lines are described. An interactive console incorporates a display panel, analog telephone adapter, broadband router, and wireless Internet protocol interface in an integrated housing. The interactive console connects to a standard analog telephone, and interfaces the telephone to an Internet protocol network. A server computer coupled to the Internet protocol network provides Internet and digital network services to users of the console, as well as interconnection to other server computers and resources on the Internet. The interactive console and server system thus provide an interface for existing telephone users to gain Internet intelligence and interact with the greater Internet community.
