Abstract: An organic-waste-recycling apparatus for fast formation of compost includes a processing barrel, a grinding device, a control device, a stirring device, and a guiding device. The processing barrel has a first feeding port and a second feeding port, a mixing room, and an output. To-be-processed objects are fed into the mixing room through the first feeding port or the second feeding port. The grinding device is between the first feeding port and the mixing room. The control device adjusts the temperature and the humidity in the mixing room. The stirring device rolls and blends the to-be-processed objects in the mixing room so that the to-be-processed objects are heated evenly. The guiding device guides the water vapor generated in the mixing room back to the mixing room. The apparatus decomposes and turns organic waste into organic carbon fertilizer that has economic value in an effective and efficient way.

Abstract: A method includes determining one or more metrics of a surgical task being performed by a surgeon based at least partially upon a type of the surgical task being performed and a video of the surgical task being performed. The method also includes determining a surgical skill of the surgeon during the surgical task based at least partially upon the video, the one or more metrics, or a combination thereof.

Abstract: External electrical connectors and methods of forming such external electrical connectors are discussed. A method includes forming an external electrical connector structure on a substrate. The forming the external electrical connector structure includes plating a pillar on the substrate at a first agitation level affected at the substrate in a first solution. The method further includes plating solder on the external electrical connector structure at a second agitation level affected at the substrate in a second solution. The second agitation level affected at the substrate is greater than the first agitation level affected at the substrate. The plating the solder further forms a shell on a sidewall of the external electrical connector structure.

Abstract: A straw forming machine includes a feeding device, a pressing device, a sticking device, a conveyor device, and a cutting device. The paper material is stretched from the feeding device to the pressing device which curls the paper material. When the paper material is delivered to the sticking device, the two sides of the paper material are pressed by the sticking device to form the paper pipe, and the press roll of the sticking device rolls and sticks the two abutting portions of the paper pipe. Then, the paper pipe is delivered by the conveyor device to the cutting device which cuts the paper pipe to form drinking straws.

Abstract: A display device which is not harmful to the human eye in respect of blue light includes a display panel, a backlight module, and a light adjusting component. The backlight module includes white light emitting diodes (LEDs) for emitting light. Each white LED includes a blue light chip and a yellow fluorescent material encapsulated on the blue light chip. Thereby, transmittance of the light adjusting component for blue light having a wavelength less than 450 nm is less than 10% and transmittance of light adjusting component for blue light having a wavelength over 470 nm is not less than 90%. The light adjusting component reduces the emission from the display device of yellow light having a wavelength of about 575 nm to 595 nm.

Abstract: A pointed paper straw includes a paper straw (20) which is integrally formed with a pointed head (202) and an overlapping portion (201). The paper straw is formed by a paper mold sheet (220) which is formed by a residual edge (22) of a paper material (2). The residual edge has an end which has a left side and a right side that are cut symmetrically, with two triangular pieces (221) being removed, to form the paper mold sheet which includes a pointed portion (2201). The paper mold sheet has a left side and a right side that are curled inward and are overlapped and connected to form the overlapping portion.

Abstract: A two-way distribution, charging, and vending system permits a subscriber to exchange one or more partially or completely discharged portable electric energy storage devices for a comparable number of charged portable electric energy storage devices. The two-way distribution, charging, and vending system includes a number of charging modules, each with a dedicated power converter, communicably coupled to at least one two-way distribution system controller and to a power distribution grid. Upon receipt of a discharged portable electric energy storage device, the at least one two-way distribution system controller validates a manufacturer identifier and a subscriber identifier stored in a nontransitory storage media carried by the discharged portable electric energy storage device. Responsive to a successful authentication and validation, the at least one two-way distribution system controller dispenses a charged portable electric energy storage device to the subscriber.

Abstract: A network of collection, charging and distribution machines collect, charge and distribute portable electrical energy storage devices (e.g., batteries, supercapacitors or ultracapacitors). Locations of collection, charging and distribution machines having available charged portable electrical energy storage devices are communicated to or acquired by a mobile device of a user, or displayed on a collection, charging and distribution machine. The locations are indicated on a graphical user interface on a map on a user's mobile device relative to the user's current location. The user may use their mobile device select particular locations on the map to reserve an available portable electrical energy storage device. The system nay also warn the user that the user is near an edge of the pre-determined area having portable electrical energy storage device collection, charging and distribution machines. Reservations may also be made automatically based on information regarding a potential route of a user.
