Abstract: A method and an apparatus for operating an application program, a terminal device, and a storage medium. The method includes: determining a target version from multiple versions of the application program, and determining first parameter information of the application program of the target version; obtaining second parameter information of the application program transmitted by a bootloader; calculating a target memory address of an executed target element of the script file in the application program of the target version according to the first parameter information and the second parameter information; operating the target element of the script file in the target memory address. By applying the method, the application program can still be normally operated even though an actual operation address of the application program in the terminal device is different from a designated chained address when the application program is linked.

Abstract: Disclosed is a method for rapidly preparing biodiesel at low temperatures, belonging to the technical field of chemical energy. The method includes the following steps: adding alkali catalyst, alcohol and organic solvent into grease, and obtaining the biodiesel through transesterification.

Abstract: A method for operating a second system application in a first system is provided. The method includes: creating an operating environment of the second system application through a loader on a target terminal; generating an application function component of the second system application in the loader; compiling script files of the second system application into dynamic library files by utilizing the compiling environment supported by the target terminal, and encapsulating the dynamic library files into an application package; installing the application package through the loader, and operating the dynamic library files in the application package under the operating environment. According to the aforesaid method, the target terminal can directly respond to a system instruction generated during execution of the compiled dynamic library files without the need of parsing and converting the system instruction, thus, a cross-platform operation efficiency of the application program can be improved.

Abstract: An in-vehicle robot includes a base member, an outer member, an inner member, and first, second, and third power transmission units. The base member is rotatably mounted to a mounting object. The outer member is supported by the base member. The inner member is positioned inside the outer member and supported by the outer member. The first power transmission unit allows the inner member to rotate around a first axis with respect to the outer member. The first axis passes through a portion of the inner member supported by the outer member. The second power transmission unit allows the outer member to rotate around a second axis. The second axis passes through a portion of the outer member supported by the base member. The third power transmission unit allows the outer member to rotate around a third axis that is non-parallel to both the first axis and the second axis.

Abstract: The present invention provides a large-effective-mode-area low-loss optical fiber with optimized cladding components, which comprises a core layer and a cladding comprising, from the inside to the outside, a first sinking layer, a second sinking layer, an optional third sinking layer, and an outer cladding. In the present invention, phosphorus and aluminum are co-doped in the optical fiber cladding, to form a tetrahedron [AlPO4] in glass, thus optimizing the viscosity of the cladding while effectively reducing the refractive index of the cladding, without causing increased hydrogen loss. The process is simple, and highly repeatable.
