Abstract: The present invention provides a casing for a heat-not-burn ceramic film cigarette, the casing comprising a main body cigarette tube, sealing paper located at one end of the cigarette tube, and a filter tip located at the other end of the cigarette tube. A ceramic film is arranged, in the cigarette tube, on a contact layer that comes into contact with tobacco. A ceramic film is provided on the contact face of the sealing paper that comes into contact with the tobacco. According to the casing for a heat-not-burn cigarette provided in the present invention, the ceramic film of the casing is directly applied to a packaging layer which comes in direct contact with the tobacco, such that the component stability of a heat-not-burn cigarette can be greatly increased, and the moisture retention property of tobacco substances is significantly improved.

Abstract: A method for generating cube metadata based on an enhanced star schema may be provided. In some embodiments, the method may include extracting dimension references from a factless fact table in an enhanced star schema. The enhanced star schema may include a fact table, a plurality of dimension tables of the fact table and the factless fact table. In some embodiments, a hierarchy reference may be constructed based on the dimension references. In some embodiments, cube metadata may be generated by combining the hierarchy reference with measures obtained from the fact table and a hierarchy obtained from the dimension tables in the enhanced star schema.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a method for determining survival state of a print head. The cleaning behavior of a print head can be used for reflecting health status of the print head, so survival state of a print head can be determined according to cleaning behavior of the print head. Specifically, a method is implemented for determining survival state of a print head, comprising: obtaining cleaning behavior data and cumulative printing amount upon failure occurrence of print head(s) of reference printer(s) as well as cleaning behavior of a print head of a current printer; obtaining printing amount of the current printer; determining survival state of the print head of the current printer according to cleaning behavior data and cumulative printing amount upon failure occurrence of the print head(s) of the reference printer(s) as well as cleaning behavior data and printing amount of the current printer.

Abstract: A mouse device is operable with a variable button-pressing force. The mouse device includes a mouse base, a mouse case, a button disposed on the mouse case, a pressing plate contacted with the button, and the sliding member contacted with the pressing plate. The sliding member is partially protruded out of the mouse base, and movable with respect to the mouse base. When the sliding member is moved to a first position and contacted with a first touching part of the pressing plate, the force required for pressing the button is equal to a first downward external force. Whereas, when the sliding member is moved to a second position and contacted with a second touching part of the pressing plate, the force required for pressing the button is equal to a second downward external force.
