Abstract: A method of facilitating controlled particle deposition from a droplet dispenser involves receiving at least one pre-dispensed image of a dispensing portion of the droplet dispenser, the dispensing portion including fluid to be dispensed in a subject droplet to a subject target region, receiving at least one post-dispensed image of the dispensing portion of the droplet dispenser after the subject droplet has been dispensed, comparing the at least one pre-dispensed image and the at least one post-dispensed image to determine a subject droplet particle count representing a count of particles included in the subject droplet, and producing signals for associating a representation of the subject droplet particle count with the subject target region. Other methods, apparatuses, systems, and non-transitory computer readable media are disclosed.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a technique for allowing registered mobile users of the same or different social networks in the vicinity to use mobile devices of the same or different operation system to identify each other and exchange business information. Each registered mobile user discovers other registered mobile users in the proximity location through their mobile devices. A central server is configured to allow communication between a plurality of registered mobile users with connection through internet and to facilitate business information exchange between different mobile users. The central server manages introduction and connection of a plurality of registered mobile users by positive identification of registered mobile users, and associates unique identification of mobile user devices through Internet and returns identities of other mobile users in the vicinity or in proximity thereto, bringing an image of a human face along with names and business attributes to a device allocation.

Abstract: An impact mitigation system for an aircraft and method of deploying the impact mitigation system is disclosed. A state parameter of the aircraft is obtained. The state parameter is used with an aircraft performance model to determine an acceleration capability of the aircraft. A trajectory of the aircraft is predicted using the state parameter of the aircraft and the acceleration capability of the aircraft. A location of an object with respect to the aircraft is determined and the impact mitigation system is deployed when the predicted trajectory indicates a contact with the object at a predicted contact velocity higher than a threshold velocity at a future time.

Abstract: A holiday decoration with an electronic countdown feature, comprising: a decoration body (1) comprising a panel with a display area (2); and an electronic countdown device being attached to the decoration body and comprising: a processor (100) calculating and determining remaining time preceding a target holiday based on an input current time after a number of remaining days left till the target holiday is set; a display (300) connected to and correspondingly arranged with the processor in the display area of the panel for showing the remaining time preceding the target holiday; one or more adjustment control keys (200) connected with the processor and arranged on the display for provision of the current time to the processor; and a battery (400) for provision of power to the electronic countdown device.

Abstract: The present invention provides a ground lighting device for displaying information, comprising a lamp housing constructed by a frame and at least one PVC-based panel secured to the frame; at least one hollowed-out character sign attached to the PVC-based panel; a hollow ground stake connected with the frame; and a string of lamps which runs through the hollow ground stake to be arranged inside the lamp housing. The invention allows formation of a meaningful luminous character sign which may be employed for decorative and informative effects during Christmas seasons or at other situations. The hollowed-out character sign may be formed with desirable characters or words so that the ground supported lighting device of the invention finds a wide variety of applications.

Abstract: The present invention provides a multipurpose decorative ground lighting system comprising a plurality of ground stakes; a plurality of soft plastic bodies configured as a figure of animal or human being and connected together through conducting wires, each of said soft plastic bodies being supported by the ground stake; a printed circuit board and a jiggling motor that are mutually coupled and arranged within each of the soft plastic bodies; and wherein a self-contained movement sensor and a self-contained light source sensor are connected to one of the printed circuit boards The lighting system may be activated by the self-contained movement sensor when the movement occurs in the vicinity of the lighting system to start moving and singing, thus greatly heightening the joyous and festive atmosphere during festival seasons and bringing people with warmth, peace, joy and happiness.

Abstract: A lighting device for festival decoration comprises a plurality of decorative lamp blocks wired in series successively, each block having a two-row lamp fixture; a lamplight controller and a knob switch for regulating lamplights electrically coupled with the wired decorative lamp blocks. The decorative lamp block consists of two-row lampshades, a box body and a lamp body. According to the invention, the lighting device for festival decoration comprises a plurality of decorative lamp blocks having two-row decorative lamps controlled by the lamplight controller, wherein each block is electrically connected for an equal period of time and started up at a different point of time, so that the decorative lamp blocks are powered on successively to give out special run-after lighting effects at a run-after speed regulated by the knob switch.

Abstract: A reverse osmosis water treatment system includes a tube connecting unit 10 having a water incoming end 102, a water outgoing end 103, and a diaphragm 104 having a check valve 108 therein to allow water to flow directly from the incoming end to the outgoing end. In operation, water flows from the tube connecting unit through-hole 105 and into preliminary filtering units 2 and membrane unit 3 via the pipe assembly 1. Wastewater from the membrane unit drain end 31 is then routed back to the tube connecting unit via pipe assembly 42 and through-hole 106. A faucet 5 is provided at the water outgoing end to deliver water for non-drinking uses. By virtue of issuing water from the outgoing end, the membrane is washed and cleaned. Accordingly, the amount of discharged wastewater is greatly reduced so that water resources are conserved and the useful life of the membrane is prolonged.
