Abstract: A door lock (10) includes a driving device (30) having an outer spindle (36) and an outer handle (38) mounted to the outer spindle (36). A mounting member (56) is rotatably mounted in a compartment (46) of the outer handle (38). A positioning member (72) is movably received in a groove (54) of the outer handle (38). When a lock core (74) disengages from the mounting member (56), the mounting member (56) cannot move along a longitudinal axis but can pivot about a pivotal axis relative to the outer handle (38) to change a positional relationship between first and second holes (64, 66) of the mounting member (56). After the lock core (74) engages with the mounting member (56), the mounting member (56) cannot pivot about the pivotal axis relative to the outer handle (38).

Abstract: A representation of a flow network having vertices connected by arcs is provided. The vertices include a first set of vertices that provide flow to a second set of vertices over arcs connecting the first set and second set of vertices. A balancing procedure in the network is performed that includes redistributing flows on arcs incident on the second set of vertices. The balancing procedure includes selecting a batch of the vertices in the second set, and redistributing flows on arcs incident on the selected batch of vertices. The selecting and redistributing are repeated for other batches of vertices in the second set.

Abstract: A color constancy method and system include dividing an image into a plurality of sub-images and applying a plurality of color constancy algorithms to each of the sub-images. The outputs of each of the color constancy algorithms are analyzed for each of the sub-images to determine which of the color constancy algorithms give inconsistent results across the sub-images. The influence of the outputs of the algorithms providing inconsistent results is adjusted to decrease their influence (e.g. effect or weight) with respect to the outputs of algorithms providing consistent results. The outputs from the plurality of color constancy algorithms are combined based upon the adjustment of the outputs.
