Abstract: A shoe tree includes a rear support member, a connecting member, a driving tube, a screw member, a limiting member, a fixing member, a universal member, a stretching member and two front support members. The shoe tree is characterized by integrating the conventional single-function shoe trees, allowing users to omit the time and action of replacing shoe trees when adjusting the shoe to a required shape according to their own needs. Users only need to use a single tool to complete all the actions in one go, so as to greatly improve its practicality and convenience. The shoe tree of the invention is designed with multiple functions to meet different usage needs.

Abstract: A method of preparing aluminum nitride powder through atmosphere controlled carbon-thermal reduction. It relates to a chemical dilution method to wrap the carbon material evenly around the surface of ?-aluminum oxide (gamma phase-aluminum oxide). The method includes the following processes of: material mixing, carbonization, carbon-thermal reduction, and de-carbonization. Wherein, ?-aluminum oxide and phenolic resin are mixed to form a solution, and after the solution is baked and dried into powder, it is carbonized under nitridation atmosphere in high temperature. Then, carbon-thermal reduction is performed in a temperature of 1400° C.˜1700° C. Finally, de-carbonized is performed in air. In the process of carbon-thermal reduction, ammonia gas and hydrogen gas are added to regulate the reacting atmosphere. Also, urea is added to increase the nitridation reaction of aluminum.

Abstract: Methods, systems, and computer program products for high-performance interprocess communication. Each process dynamically identifies routines responsible for managing communication received from other processes through a shared memory heap and a shared memory queue, each of the routines handling one or more operation codes. An allocation from the shared heap produces a process agnostic memory handle from which a process specific memory pointer may be obtained. Using the memory pointer, the enqueuing process places an operation code, parameters, and any other relevant data in the allocated memory and adds the memory handle to a shared queue. The dequeuing process removes the memory handle from the queue and generates a memory pointer to access the allocated memory in the dequeuing process. Upon retrieving the operation code from the allocated memory, the dequeuing process calls the appropriate handler routine. Enqueues may be registered to account for expected responses that are not received.
