Abstract: A dual-barrel air gun and a bullet duct switching device thereof are provided. The bullet duct switching device comprises a valve core, a locating plate and a locating structure; the valve core is rotationally connected to a gun body and with air channels through the locating plate along the central axis of the valve core; the valve core is at least provided with a first through-hole corresponding to one air channel; and the locating structure is disposed at the gun body and limits the rotation direction of the valve core. Using the dual-barrel air gun and the bullet duct switching device, barrels of different calibers can be configured on demand so different bullets can be used and the air gun shoot through any single barrel or two barrels; moreover, the dual-barrel air gun has the advantage that: barrel switching is more convenient and accurate, and two barrels are difficult to bend.

Abstract: A method of making resin composition having excellent wear properties that includes 50 to 99 wt. % of a polycarbonate resin and from 1 to 50 wt. % of a polyolefin that has been modified with at least one functional group selected from a carboxyl, an acid anhydride, an epoxy groups or mixtures containing at least one of the foregoing functional groups, each based on the total combined weight of the resin composition, exclusive of any filler. The resin composition optionally contains an unmodified polyolefin and/or a bi-functional monomer. The resin composition can be molded into articles having improved wear characteristics. The process is a one-step process that improves the efficiency and/or yield of the resin composition as compared to prior-art two-step processes.

Abstract: An exposure method is disclosed. Correct exposure settings are determined for an object in a scene. The determined exposure settings include an exposure time. Whether any portion of an image of the scene formed using the determined exposure settings is overexposed or underexposed is detected. Adjustment times of photometers of an image sensor corresponding to the over/underexposed region(s), if any, to the exposure time are calculated. The calculated adjustment times are converted into regional exposure time(s) for the over/underexposed region(s). The image sensor is exposed using the exposure time and the regional exposure time(s).
