Abstract: There is provided a solution for automatically creating contact groups, a method of the solution comprising: tracking an email sending history of a user, and automatically recording email sending data, wherein the recorded email sending data comprises contact groups, each of which consists of the email addresses and all the receivers of a sent email and corresponding receiving types. There is further provided a solution for suggesting an email sending list to a user, a method of the solution comprising: retrieving one or more contact groups from the recorded email sending data when the user composes a new email; and, presenting to the user the retrieved one or more contact groups as possible sending lists.

Abstract: A method and apparatus are used for automatically cutting workpieces on a portable lathe. By using the method and apparatus, the machining processes including charging the workpieces into a chuck, holding the workpieces on the chuck, cutting the workpieces with a cutting tool, loosening the workpieces from the chuck, and discharging the workpieces from the chuck are automatically performed under a timing control of a timer. In the method, the workpieces are charged into and discharged from the chuck by blowing the compressed air of a pair of air nozzles respectively onto the opposite ends of the workpieces. The operation of the chuck is controlled by a hydraulic clutch drivable by a hydraulic cylinder.
