Abstract: A series-parallel monorail hoist based on an oil-electric hybrid power and a controlling method thereof. The monorail hoist includes a cabin, a hydraulic driving system, a lifting beam, a gear track driving and energy storage system, and a speed adaptive control system connected in series with each other and travelling on a track. The monorail hoist is capable of implementing an independent drive by an electric motor or a diesel engine in an endurance mode, a hybrid drive of the electric motor and the diesel engine in a transportation mode, and a hybrid drive of the diesel engine and a flywheel energy storage system in a climbing mode, according to different operating conditions that include conditions of an upslope, a downslope and a load. Power requirements for the monorail hoist under various operating conditions are satisfied, and the excess energy is recovered during the process of travelling.

Abstract: Container data sharing is provided. A second container of a cluster of containers is started to process a service request in response to detecting a failure of a first container processing the service request. The service request and data generated by the first container that failed stored on a physical external memory device is accessed. The service request and the data generated by the first container that failed is loaded on the second container from the physical external memory device via a dedicated hardware link for high-speed container failure recovery.

Abstract: A wavelength calibration method for a microring filter includes selecting N wavelengths from M wavelengths, and performing operations on the microring filter for each of the N wavelengths, thereby obtaining N sets of calibrated voltages, and obtaining, based on N sets of calibrated voltages, M?N sets of calibrated voltages corresponding to M?N wavelengths of the M wavelengths. The operating include adjusting thermal tuning power of the plurality of microrings in response to one set of voltages, and obtaining a plurality of sets of voltages that enable monitored optical power to have an extreme value, and using the plurality of sets of voltages as a reference, adjusting the thermal tuning power of the plurality of microrings in response to another set of voltages, and determining one of the N sets of calibrated voltages from the plurality of sets of voltages.

Abstract: A wavelength calibration method, apparatus, and system is disclosed. The method includes: selecting sonic wavelengths from a plurality of wavelengths, and performing the following operations on a microring filter for each of the some wavelengths, to obtain sets of calibrated voltages of the some wavelengths: (1) adjusting thermal tuning power of multiple microrings by using one set of voltages, and obtaining multiple sets of voltages that enable monitored optical power to have an extreme value, and (2) using the multiple of sets of voltages as a reference, adjusting the thermal tuning power of the multiple microrings by using another set of voltages, and determining one of the sets of calibrated voltages, which enables the monitored optical power to converge, from the multiple sets of voltages; and then, obtaining, through calculation based on the sets of calibrated voltages of the some wavelengths, sets of calibrated voltages of other wavelengths.

Abstract: The distribution and/or ratio of Thymine, Cytosine, Adenine and Guanine of a DNA sequence from a target organism are organized and analyzed. The result is then used to determine the possible impacts the target organism may have in a host such as a human body. The corresponding treatment and prevention strategies may also be determined. The goal is to provide an effective way to diagnose, treat and prevent diseases such as infectious diseases, to test the safety of food and drugs, and therefore to create natural and effective solutions for health care and food supply. For example, a DNA analysis method configured according to the invention receives a DNA sequence input and converts it into a reassembled sequence. A result based on the reassembled sequence may then be output. Determination of the analysis result, treatment and prevention strategies may also be output.

Abstract: Slag fiber is used to fabricate a friction material. Friction factor and abrasion loss of the friction material are controlled. The friction material can be used to make linings. Thus, slag fiber can be used as a replacement for natural material to make a friction material, and waste is thus recycled.

Abstract: Disclosed is a method for making fiber paper. In this method, mineral fibers and PVA resin are blended in water, thus forming first solution. Polymer fibers and PVA resin are blended in water, thus forming second solution. The first solution is mixed with the second solution. A wet paper-making machine is used to make mineral fiber paper from the mixture.

Abstract: A porous soundproof board is fabricated Recycled waste, like slag, is used for fabrication. Slag and ceramics are mixed to be poured into a network foam carrier. Then, the soundproof board is fabricated through sintering. Thus the board fabricated has great added values and is environmental protected with low cost.

Abstract: Incinerator ashes, which is obtained after treating municipal solid waste, incinerator ashes or its plasma vitrified slag is made into mineral fibers. Cullet is added during manufacturing the mineral fibers for conditioning. The mineral fibers thus obtained have a good strength and could raise value of recycled product. In addition, it could reduce impact of the incinerator ashes to the environment and environmental protection is achieved.

Abstract: A mechanical puppet show apparatus provides a base unit supporting on its upper surface (stage) one or more mechanical puppets. The puppets are interconnected with a circuit for motion actuation in accordance with a stage play that is programmed into a memory device and controlled by a digital control unit. Manual, remote control and verbal signals may be received for interactive action of the puppets with the audience. A method for use of materials downloaded by packet data transfer from the Internet may be employed in programming.
