Abstract: A game control method is provided. The method comprises: acquiring the distance between a game character and a shielding face, and an included angle between the orientation of the game character and a vertical line of the shielding face; displaying a bunker-entering control on a graphical user interface when the distance is smaller than or equal to a first preset distance and the included angle is smaller than or equal to a preset included angle; and in response to a selection operation for the bunker-entering control, controlling the game character to move to a shielding area corresponding to the shielding face, such that a bunker shields the game character.

Abstract: A distributed broadband network comprises of unconfigured broadband-based customer devices or network computers and at least one auto configuration and monitoring server. A network protocol called Plug and Play Host Protocol (PPHP) is defined to facilitate the automatic connections between an auto configuration server and a number of unconfigured broadband customer devices or network computers. The customer device determines on power on time if it has been identified and configured through the auto configuration server. If the identification and configuration information are lacking, the customer device sends an identification and configuration request to the auto configuration server using a multicast message with a predefined multicast group.

Abstract: A filament (18) for an ion implanter ion source or plasma shower is provided comprising first and second legs (20a, 20b) and a thermally emissive central portion (40) having ends connected, respectively, to the first and second legs. Preferably, the legs (20a, 20b) are constructed from tantalum (Ta), and the thermally emissive portion (40) is constructed of tungsten (W). The thermally emissive portion is coiled substantially along the entire length thereof and formed in the shape of a generally closed loop, such as a toroid. The toroid is comprised of two toroid halves (40a, 40b) coiled in opposite directions. The toroid halves are constructed of a plurality of filament strands (42, 44, 46) twisted together along substantially the entire length thereof. The coils of the toroid are capable of establishing closed loop magnetic field lines (B) therein when electrical current flows through the thermally emissive portion.
