Abstract: A filter is provided. The filter includes: a filter cartridge, comprising a side wall and an upper end; a cartridge cover on the upper end of the filter cartridge, wherein the cartridge cover and the filter cartridge together define a first chamber. The filter further includes a filter chamber in the first chamber, a fiber filter material in the filter chamber, a water intake channel disposed on the filter cartridge or on the cartridge cover and in fluid communication with the filter chamber, and a water discharge channel in fluid communication with the filter chamber. The filter may be a water filter. An above-ground pool is also provided including the filter.

Abstract: An indirect selective breeding method of high-collagen meat geese includes : (1) obtaining a curve equation y=0.017x+0.026; (2) rearing goslings to young geese; (3) measuring the length, width, and height values of the knobs of the geese, and calculating to give the collagen content according to the curve equation obtained in step (1); (4) sorting the geese in descending order according to the collagen content and keeping the geese with collagen content ranked top 50% as breeding geese; (5) after the geese lay eggs, hatching the goose eggs into goslings; and (6) repeating steps (2)-(5) for selective breeding over generations. The indirect selective breeding method is simple and easy to implement. A new strain of meat geese with high collagen content can be obtained from selective breeding simply by measuring the length, width, and height of the knobs of geese of each generation.

Abstract: The present invention discloses an injection molding device for wrapping wires with three-color spiral insulation layers and three-color wires. The injection molding device comprises: a spinning block, a fixed mould, and a handpiece that are coaxially mounted. Each of the axes of these three components is provided with a center bore. The third plastic feeding pipe is arranged between the side wall of the handpiece and the center bore; a first plastic feeding pipe and a second plastic feeding pipe are arranged between the side wall of the fixed mould and the front end face thereof. This injection molding device is used to wrap wires up with three-color insulation layers. Three-color spiral wires are easy to identify and operate.
