Abstract: A method for installing and operating a Coriolis mass flowmeter operating having a measuring tube, wherein the measuring tube is excited to vibrate, a phase shift of the vibration of the measuring tube which is dependent on the mass flow of the measuring tube or a corresponding time difference is determined, the temperature of the measuring tube is determined and the corresponding mass flow is calculated using the determined time difference and the determined temperature by means of a computation rule. Highly accurate measurements are possible in that in the computation rule, at least one known theoretical or empirical material temperature dependence influencing the mass flow is taken into account by determining a device-specific temperature dependence of the mass flowmeter influencing the mass flow through a subsequent calibration process and the known theoretical or empirical material temperature dependence and the device-specific temperature dependence are used in determining the mass flow.

The toggle switch includes a pin. The shell defines a through hole therein. The slide button includes an operating portion located at an outer side of the shell, a curved body extending obliquely from a side of the operating portion. The body of the slide button extends through the through hole of the shell. A distal end of the body of the slide button engages with the pin of the toggle switch. The pin of the toggle switch can be caused to move by moving the slide button.

Abstract: An electronic device includes a front plate, a top plate, and a switch control unit. The front plate defines a receiving hole therein. The switch control unit includes a mounting frame mounted on the front plate, a switch mounted in the mounting frame, a contact element located above the switch, and a control assembly. When the top plate completely covers the front plate, the top plate presses the contact element, and the contact element resiliently presses the switch to turn on the switch. When the top plate is pulled away from the front plate, the switch is turned off. The control assembly includes a first knob rotatably received in the mounting frame. The first knob includes a pressing portion. When the first knob is rotated from a first position to a second position, the pressing portion abuts against the switch to keep the switch on.

Abstract: A computer case includes two opposite boards, two brackets, two elastic elements, and two latching elements. Each board has a recessed portion with a resisting surface. The two brackets are rotatably connected to the two resisting surfaces respectively. Each bracket defines a pinhole away from the resisting surface. Each elastic element is positioned between a corresponding resisting surface and a corresponding bracket to supply elastic force between the corresponding resisting surface and the corresponding bracket. The two latching elements are slidably mounted on the two opposite boards. Each latching element includes a latching portion. When the brackets contact the resisting surfaces, the latching portions are received in the pinholes to latch the brackets.

Abstract: A system comprises a central processing unit (10), an interconnection bus (1), and a plurality of functional modules (11-15, 21) corresponding to distinct power domains and able to communicate with each other and/or with the central processing unit via the bus. At least one of the power domains, and is configured to be substituted for a slave functional module (21) of the power domain when the power to the power domain is turned off by the central processing unit. It signals an error in response to any request of a transaction that is in progress between the slave functional module and a master functional module at the moment the power is turned off.

Abstract: Some embodiments include a video copy detection approach based on speeded up robust features (SURF) trajectory building, local sensitive hash (LSH) indexing, and spatial-temporal-scale registration. First, interesting points' trajectories are extracted by SURF. Next, an efficient voting based spatial-temporal-scale registration approach is applied to estimate the optimal transformation parameters (shift and scale) and achieve the final video copy detection results by propagations of video segments in both spatial-temporal and scale directions. To speed up the detection speed, local sensitive hash (LSH) indexing is used to index trajectories for fast queries of candidate trajectories.

Abstract: A thread scheduler may be used in a chip multiprocessor or symmetric multiprocessor system to schedule threads to processors. The scheduler may determine the bandwidth utilization of the two threads in combination and whether that utilization exceeds the threshold value. If so, the threads may be scheduled on different processor clusters that do not have the same paths between the common memory and the processors. If not, then the threads may be allocated on the same processor cluster that shares cache among processors.

In the method for converting the ISUP message into the SIP message, the ISUP message is received and parameters related to number portability are read from the ISUP message, a number portability type is determined according to the parameters related to number portability, and the parameters related to number portability are mapped into the SIP message based on the number portability type. The SIP message includes: destination address parameter, which represents destination user number; npdi parameter, which indicates execution of the number portability dip and uniquely identifies the number portability type; and rn parameter, which represents the number to be routed to the destination user number.
