Abstract: A zone control panel that is easy and intuitive to use and to program. In some embodiments, a zone control panel may be configured to have an easy to use, single level menu structure with, for example, a configuration mode and/or a checkout mode. The configuration mode may, if present, include a number of menu screens sometimes without any sub-menu levels. Likewise, the checkout mode may, if present, include a number of menu screens sometimes without any sub-menu levels. A mode selector may be provided to select a particular mode, after which, the menu screens that correspond to the selected mode may be sequentially displayed to the user. Other features and aspects are also disclosed.

Abstract: A system for obtaining image depth information for at least one object in a scene includes (a) an imaging objective having a first portion for forming a first optical image of the scene, and a second portion for forming a second optical image of the scene, the first portion being different from the second portion, (b) an image sensor for capturing the first and second optical images and generating respective first and second electronic images therefrom, and (c) a processing module for processing the first and second electronic images to determine the depth information. A method for obtaining image depth information for at least one object in a scene includes forming first and second images of the scene, using respective first and second portions of an imaging objective, on a single image sensor, and determining the depth information from a spatial shift between the first and second images.

Abstract: A method for defining patterns in an integrated circuit comprises defining a plurality of features in a first photoresist layer using photolithography over a first region of a substrate. The method further comprises using pitch multiplication to produce at least two features in a lower masking layer for each feature in the photoresist layer. The features in the lower masking layer include looped ends. The method further comprises covering with a second photoresist layer a second region of the substrate including the looped ends in the lower masking layer. The method further comprises etching a pattern of trenches in the substrate through the features in the lower masking layer without etching in the second region. The trenches have a trench width.

The method for the preparation of this beverage comprises soybean peptide powder pretreatment, volume adjustment, carbonation, bottle filling and spraying sterilization.

Abstract: An accessing system for a user interactive electronic communications device is disclosed. The accessing system comprises a general data interactive zone accessible via a first user input access protocol and a secure data interactive zone accessible via a security user input access protocol. The system does not prompt the user to input the secure user access protocol and so the existence of the secure zone is only revealed when the secure user access protocol is input.

Abstract: A tool pots mounting structure for a tool magazine, wherein the tool pots inside can be engaged into the engaging notches of the first and second mounting discs directly without using without any bolts, pivots or pivotal structures, and without using tools, such as power screwdriver, to assemble the tool pots. Hence, not only is the assembly process simplified, the assembly cost is reduced, but also the follow-up maintenance work is also reduced. A tool change device is disposed at one side of a tool change port of the tool magazine, by using a pressure cylinder to drive a drive member to move, and further driving a pivotal member to clamp the desired tool pot, the tool pot can be pivoted to disengage from the first and second mounting discs. By such arrangements, the tool change operation can be carried out by only a single tool change device. Hence, not only is the cost considerably reduced, but also the assembly process is also much simplified.
