Abstract: A foldable platform truck includes a platform, two wheel-connecting bars rotatably attached to the platform, a handle assembly, a handle release and locking mechanism for controlling the handle assembly, a pair of first gear members and a pair of second gear members. The handle release and locking mechanism has an actuator to be operated to allow the handle assembly to pivot between an upright position and a horizontal position. When the handle assembly is in the horizontal position, the wheels are folded up underneath the platform and lie horizontally with respect thereto. And, when the handle assembly is pulled away from the platform to the upright position, the first gear members engage and turn the second gear members, resulting in the wheel-connecting bars rotating to fold out the wheels from underneath the platform toward an eventual perpendicular position with respect to the underside of the platform.

Abstract: A method, system, and/or computer program product adjust values of a plurality of conditions. A processor receives a user input, which is a movement across a user interface. A tendency of the movement, which describes a direction and velocity of the movement, is determined. According to the tendency of the movement, a processor adjusts a value of at least one of the plurality of conditions by using a plurality of graphs representing the plurality of conditions, where the plurality of conditions describe search criteria, where the user input describes the search criteria, and where the plurality of graphs representing the plurality of conditions have a common starting point and are radial.

Abstract: A wireless communication system base station, and a remote radio head (RRH) and a computer-implemented synchronization method for the wireless communication system base station. The RRH is communicably coupled to a baseband unit (BBU) of the wireless communication system base station through a network, and the BBU processes and transmits downlink data to the RRH. The RRH includes: a time-delay measurement unit for measuring a time-delay for the downlink data to arrive at the RRH from the BBU; and a time-delay notification unit for notifying from the RRH to the BBU of time-delay data on the time-delay measured by the time-delay measurement unit, wherein the time-delay data is used to advance the starting time for the BBU to process and transmit the downlink data by an amount of time obtained based on the time-delay data.

Abstract: An overmolded pressure sensor package is provided. The pressure sensor die (Pcell) is capped so that the Pcell has enhanced rigidity to withstand stress effects produced by the molding encapsulant. The Pcell cap includes a hole located away from the Pcell diaphragm, so that external gas pressure can be experienced by the Pcell, while at the same time directing moisture away from the diaphragm. Gel does not need to be used, and instead a soft film can be deposited on the Pcell to protect the Pcell diaphragm from excess moisture, if needed. The Pcell cap can take the form of, for example, a dummy silicon wafer or a functional ASIC.
