  • Patent number: 9052210
    Abstract: A method and an apparatus for reminding a calendar schedule and a recording medium are provided. First, a schedule and a location of an event are set in a calendar, and first positioning information of the location is obtained. Then, second positioning information of a current location of a mobile device is obtained. Next, the current location is determining whether to be within a signal range of a signal source. Once the current location is within the signal range, the time for moving from the location with the second positioning information to the location with the first positioning information is calculated. Finally, a reminding time is set according to the transferring time, and a reminding action is taken at the reminding time. Thereby, the reminding time of the event can be dynamically adjusted to avoid delay caused when the mobile device is too far from the event location.

  • Publication number: 20110158812
    Abstract: This invention publishes a kind of fan blade which can be assembled and disassembled quickly, including blade and blade bracket for ceiling fan, desk fan, pole fan, etc. In this invention, the blade and blade bracket are joined together by the inserting structure. During assembling, we only need to align the mounting holes with the elastic connectors and press downwards forcibly, and then the blade could be installed on the blade bracket securely. In this invention, screws are unnecessary for installing the blade on the blade bracket. The assembling is fast and the inserting structure is firm and reliable. When it comes to the necessity of disassembling the blade, only a press plate with matched holes is needed to press the elastic connectors and separate the blade from the blade bracket, which could greatly enhance the ease of use.

  • Publication number: 20100135909
    Abstract: A metal treatment composition including Tin (II) Chloride and processed montmorillonite clay. The addition of Tin (II) Chloride to the composition provides Tin for forming a ceramic-metal layer on the surfaces of the friction pair. Tin (II) Chloride provides Chlorine ions for forming Chloric films for protecting juvenile surfaces which form in the friction zone. The clay is heated and pulverized to produce a powder comprising both particles having crystalline layer structure and salts and oxides. The layered crystalline structure of the clay contains slip planes that transversely shift when tangential pressure from the friction pair is applied thereby lubricating the friction pair. The salts and oxides contribute to the formation of the ceramic-metal layer.
