Abstract: An exemplary virtual reality media provider system (“system”) receives, from a media player device (“device”) by way of a network, a request for the device to provide a user with an immersive virtual reality experience. The system transmits, to the device by way of the network and in response to the request, a specification file corresponding to the immersive virtual reality experience. The specification file comprises data that defines a plurality of elements included in the immersive virtual reality experience, associates an event with a particular element included in the plurality of elements, and associates a behavior with the event that is associated with the particular element, the behavior configured to be performed with respect to the particular element in response to an occurrence of the event within the immersive virtual reality experience. The device uses the specification file to provide the user with the immersive virtual reality experience.

Abstract: A mask includes a mask body and at least one sub-mask provided on the mask body. The sub-mask includes an evaporation zone and a shield portion. The shield portion is provided with at least one groove in a thickness direction of the sub-mask. The groove has a depth smaller than a thickness of the mask body. Since the shield portion is provided with the groove, and a single groove has a depth smaller than the thickness of the mask body, it not only ensures that there is no pixel evaporated onto a substrate at the shield portion, but also reduces the thickness of the shield portion, thereby reduces weight thereof, lowers the weight difference between the shield portion and the evaporation zone and reduces the stress concentration on the shield portion, resulting in that the mask body is evenly stressed during tensioning.

Abstract: A system and a process for co-producing dimethyl carbonate and ethylene glycol. The system comprises an interconnected ethylene carbonate preparation unit and an ethylene carbonate alcoholysis unit. The ethylene carbonate preparation unit comprises a fixed bed reactor and a light-component stripping column connected to each other. The fixed bed reactor is filled with a supported ionic liquid catalyst. The process comprises the steps of: reacting carbon dioxide and ethylene oxide as raw materials in the fixed bed reactor to produce ethylene carbonate, purifying the ethylene carbonate and then mixing it with an alcoholysis reaction catalyst, and reacting the mixture with methanol in a reactive distillation tower, producing dimethyl carbonate and ethylene glycol. The process increases the conversion rate of ethylene oxide and avoids the need for a process of separating conventional homogeneous catalysts from ethylene carbonate, thereby reducing process energy consumption and simplifying process procedures.
