Abstract: A hydraulic door closer capable of reducing oil-pressure therein at high temperature, comprises a housing with an oil chamber, an oil storage cavity, and a piston in the housing of the hydraulic door closer. The oil storage cavity is in communication with the oil chamber; when the oil temperature increases, hydraulic oil in the oil chamber and oil storage cavity generates an increased oil pressure move the piston, whereby volume of the oil storage cavity is enlarged, such that oil from the chamber will flow into the cavity, to reduce the oil pressure of the chamber and cavity. When the oil temperature decreases, the oil pressure in the chamber and cavity is reduced, whereby the storage piston restores its original position, whereby volume of the cavity will be reduced, and the oil in the cavity flows back into the chamber. The pressure in the oil chamber is reduced when the hydraulic oil expands due to increased temperature to prevent failure of the seal and to avoid hydraulic oil leakage.

Abstract: Polymer optical waveguides can be produced by separating the processes into a distinct embossing process and a distinct UV exposure process. Separating the processes can create a more refined product and a more efficient process, thus eliminating the need for special polymer optical waveguide fabrication machinery.

Abstract: A system and method for providing a personal broadcasting service using a mobile communication terminal with a multimedia broadcasting module are provided. A broadcasting service provider provides multimedia broadcasting content. A multimedia broadcasting terminal sends a channel selection signal to the broadcasting service provider, receives multimedia broadcasting content of a selected channel, and opens personal broadcasting. A normal terminal sends a multimedia broadcasting content request to the multimedia broadcasting terminal opening the personal broadcasting, and receives the multimedia broadcasting content from the multimedia broadcasting terminal opening the personal broadcasting.

Abstract: A combo communication terminal has a first communication terminal and a second communication terminal. A switch unit of the second communication terminal has a first end, a second end, a third end and a control end. The control end selectively couples the first end to the second end or to the third end according to a control signal. When a communication link between the first communication terminal and the second communication terminal has been established, a second processing unit of the second communication terminal generates and transmits a first control signal to the control end, such that a first processing unit of the first communication terminal is coupled to a first subscriber identity unit of the second communication terminal via the first port, so that the first communication terminal uses the first subscriber identity unit to perform tasks of communication.

Abstract: In an embodiment of the invention, an energy storage device is described including a pair of electrically conductive porous structures, with each of the electrically conductive porous structures containing an electrolyte loaded into a plurality of pores. A solid or semi-solid electrolyte layer separates the pair of electrically conductive porous structures and penetrates the plurality of pores of the pair of electrically conductive porous structures.
