Abstract: Disclosed are a female connector, a male connector, and a connection device. The female connector is coupled to the male connector for connecting the first article to the second article. A pair of elastic walls of the female connector can elastically deform outward when the elastic walls are pressed outward by a head portion of the male connector inserted downward, so that the pair of abutting ends allow the head portion to pass between the pair of abutting ends, and can abut against a abutting portion of the male connector after the head portion has passed between a pair of abutting ends of the elastic walls so as to prevent the head portion from being pulled out upward. The way provided by the present disclosure is beneficial to improving the service life of the male connector of the connection device.

Abstract: A to-be-projected data processing method, an electronic device, and a storage medium, that relate to the field of screen projection technologies. During screen projection, when it is identified that a current scenario is a specific screen projection scenario (for example, a scenario of in-vehicle infotainment screen projection), and a subscribed application corresponding to the specific screen projection scenario is displayed in a foreground of a screen projection destination end, a frame of image in to-be-projected data may be determined. When the frame of image meets a frame discarding condition, the frame of image may be discarded and does not need to be transmitted.

Abstract: A modular microcode (uCode) patch method to support runtime persistent update and associated apparatus. The method enables BIOS uCode patches to be received during platform runtime operations and written to first and second uCode extension regions as uCode images for a firmware device layout that further includes a uCode base region in which a current uCode image is stored. Following a platform reset, the first and second uCode extension regions are inspected to determine if one or more valid and newer uCode images (than the current uCode image) are present. If so, the newest uCode image is booted rather than the current uCode image. Following a successful boot, the newest uCode image is copied to the uCode base region to sync-up the current uCode image to the newest version. In one aspect, received uCode images are written to the first and second uCode extension regions in an alternating manner to support roll-back.

Abstract: Disclosed are a mounting base and a cat furniture device. The mounting base includes: a fixing plate, a plurality of pins, a mounting plate, and a plurality of connecting members. The plurality of pins are located on a side of the fixing plate, and fixed to the fixing plat. The mounting plate is located at an end of the fixing plate, and fixed to the end of the fixing plate, and configured to be fixed to the support. The plurality of connecting members are configured to be fixed to the cat furniture item. The pins are configured to be snapped with the connecting members respectively to fix the cat furniture item to the mounting base. This configuration can reduce the risk of the cat furniture item being damaged during detaching the cat furniture item from the wall surface.

Abstract: Disclosed are a connecting structure and a cat furniture item. The connecting structure includes: a first connector, configured to be fixed to one of an end surface of a column and a panel, and provided with at least one slot; a second connector, configured to be fixed to the other one, and provided with at least one block. The at least one block is configured to engage with the at least one slot respectively to achieve a detachable connection. Based on the connecting structure, the efficiency of disassembly and assembly between various components of the cat furniture item can be improved. In addition, additional fixing components such as screws are unnecessary, so that the accidental injury caused by exposure of screws can be fundamentally avoided.

Abstract: A microcode (uCode) hot-upgrade method for bare metal cloud deployment and associated apparatus. The uCode hot-upgrade method applies a uCode patch to a firmware storage device (e.g., BIOS SPI flash) through an out-of-band controller (e.g., baseboard management controller (BMC)). In conjunction with receiving a uCode patch, a uCode upgrade interrupt service is triggered to upgrade uCode for one or more CPUs in a bare-metal cloud platform during runtime of a tenant host operating system (OS) using an out-of-bound process. This innovation enables cloud service providers to deploy uCode hot-patches to bare metal servers for persistent storage and live-patch without touching the tenant operating system environment.
