Each of the crossing members interconnects a respective one of two diagonally aligned pairs of the first and second joints. At least one of the pair of the first joints and the pair of the second joints interconnect upper and lower parts of the adjacent pair of the supporting frames, respectively.

Abstract: A method and apparatus of printing books based on digital data, comprises accepting a plurality of orders, each order including a request for at least one copy of each of a plurality of titles. The plurality of orders form a streamlined cover set. The streamlined cover set is scanned, the detecting of each cover in the cover set causing digital printing of a book block corresponding to the detected title associated with the cover.

Abstract: A system may include a gateway that is configured to intercept messages being exchanged between multiple services, a message repository that is logically coupled to the gateway and that is configured to store the intercepted messages, a service description repository that is configured to store multiple service descriptions, where each of the service descriptions corresponds to one of the services, a rules repository that is configured to store mapping rules and an adaptation engine that is configured to generate a sequence of firing rules using the service descriptions and the mapping rules responsive to the intercepted messages, to generate one or more outgoing messages in response to the intercepted messages using the sequence of firing rules, and to detect at runtime an occurrence of a termination anomaly.

Abstract: An inflatable product includes an inflatable body having an exterior wall defining at least one air chamber therein, at least one electrical air pump unit, an electrical switch connected electrically to the electrical air pump unit, and at least one controller. The controller is operable manually to activate the electrical air pump unit so as to perform a selected one of inflation, full deflation, and partial deflation of the air chamber in the inflatable body.

Abstract: An inflatable bed includes a bedstead assembly, a mattress assembly, and an electrical air pump unit. The mattress assembly is disposed on and above the bedstead assembly, and includes a top sheet, a bottom sheet disposed under the top sheet, and a plurality of surrounding sheets interconnecting the top and bottom sheets to form a plurality of air chambers, which are not in fluid communication with each other. Each of the air chambers is defined among the top sheet, the bottom sheet, and a respective one of the surrounding sheets. The electrical air pump unit is disposed on the bedstead assembly, and is operable to inflate the air chambers individually so that air pressures in the air chambers may be different.

Abstract: A preparation for application onto a cellulosic fabric or textile material includes a blended mixture of wool particles or wool powder, and a binding agent. The functional additive is carried by the wool particles. The wool particles or wool powder is preferably of macrofibril size or below. Such a preparation exhibits exceptional functional additive-carrying and retention ability which enhances the durability of functional enhancements of a cellulosic fabric material. In another embodiment, the preparation includes a mixture of powdered bamboo fibre, carrier agents, and binding agents. Preferably, the non-charcoal fibrous bamboo powder is nano-sized having an ultrafine particle size, e.g., 1 ?m or below. Fabric materials treated with ultrafine bamboo fibre powder have good moisture management properties.
