Abstract: A trash can with the deodorization and sterilization function contains a body with the cover and an ozone generator fixed in the body. The ozone generator is fixed at a predetermined position of the cover of the body and is in connection with a controlling member. The controlling member is mounted at a position of an inner surface of the cover adjacent to the body and couples with the ozone generator and a wire for electrically connecting with a power source, such that when the cover covers the body of the trash can, it triggers the controlling member by which the ozone generator is started to produce the ozone in the body, hence the odor from the litters is eliminated, and the bacteria are disinfected.

Abstract: A backlight module includes a first optical film with high light reflection characteristics, a second optical film with polarization light selection transmission characteristics and light reflection characteristics, a plurality of lampshades, and a plurality of line light sources. Each lampshade has high light reflection characteristics and is disposed between optical films so that any two spaced-apart adjacent lampshades define a light mixing chamber between optical films. Each line light source is disposed in a corresponding light mixing chamber and is mounted to a corresponding lampshade for emitting light.

Abstract: An apparatus and system are provided for isolating a storage application from a network interface driver. The apparatus includes a definition module, an application interface, a translation module, and a data buffer. The definition module defines a set of storage application functions. The translation module translates each storage application function to one or more network interface driver functions. The data buffer transfers data blocks between the storage application and the network interface driver.

Abstract: A mobile platform structure able to vary a viewing focal length comprises a mobile platform, a base, a slide rail, a tooth bar, a motor, a transmission gear, a control module, a signal cable, a telemeter, and a power cord. The platform is coupled to the base via the slide rail, equipped with the tooth bar, and moved back and forth by the motor and transmission gear. The control module controls the motor to move the platform at a specified timing by a specified distance, whereby the viewing focal length of the user, who watches the display on the platform, can vary frequently lest the eyes fatigue. The telemeter is installed on the platform and detects the distance to the user's face. If the user's face approaches the platform too much, the control module controls the motor to move the platform to have an appropriate distance to the user's face.

Abstract: A sink drain includes an insertion cap and a base. The insertion cap includes a plug seat which extends outward and upward from a bottom of an insertion cap to form an opening facing up. At least one side of the plug seat is provided with a protruding resilient plate. The base has at least one fixing hole disposed at a central section thereof. The fixing hole is adapted for engagement of the resilient plate of the insertion cap. When the insertion cap is pressed down or pulled up, the resilient plate is subjected to the diameter of a cylindrical body of the base and compressed inward along the lower curve surface or the upper curve surface to be engaged with or disengaged from the fixing hole, such that the stopper can be pressed to control drain of water.

Abstract: An active CO neutralizing device includes a CO sensing unit, a control unit, an alarm unit and an ozone releasing unit and serves to detect a concentration of carbon monoxide in the air and to automatically release ozone to react with carbon monoxide when the detected concentration of carbon monoxide is in excess of a preset threshold so as to neutralize and thereby dilute carbon monoxide in order to minimize the risk of carbon monoxide poisoning and allow more time for rescue.

Abstract: Provided are a method, system, and program for transferring data from a source storage unit, wherein storage units are configured within a storage system. A data transfer operation is processed to transfer data from source storage blocks in a source storage unit to corresponding target storage blocks in a target storage unit. For each source storage block, before transferring data from one source storage block to the corresponding target storage block, indication is made that the source storage block is in a locked state. Data in the source storage block in the locked state is not accessible to a host data request, and wherein data in storage blocks that are not in the locked state is accessible to a host data request while the data transfer operation is pending.
