  • Patent number: 9324487
    Abstract: This disclosure is directed at least partly to reducing an acceleration of a magnet when a magnet is moved toward an attracting object. An apparatus may include a dampening mechanism to dissipate kinetic energy of the magnet as it traverses within a housing from a first position to a second position. The housing may be at least partially coupled to another surface as a result of a magnetic attraction when the magnet is located in the second position. The dampening mechanism may include use of a fluid and/or gas that is displaced by the magnet to slow acceleration of the magnet as the magnet traverses between the first position and the second position. In some embodiments, the dampening mechanism may be implemented using threads that cause rotation of the magnet or by rollers that slow acceleration of the magnet.

  • Publication number: 20150365819
    Abstract: Embodiments of the present invention provide a service provisioning system and method, a mobile edge application server and support node. The system includes: at least one mobile edge application server (MEAS) and at least one mobile edge application server support function (MEAS-SF), where the MEAS is deployed at an access network side; and the MEAS-SF is deployed at a core network side, connected to one or more MEAS. In the service provisioning system provided in the embodiment, services that are provided by an SP are deployed in the MEAS. When the MEAS can provide the user equipment with a service requested in a service request, the MEAS directly and locally generates service data corresponding to the service request. Therefore, the user equipment directly obtains required service data from an RAN side, which avoids data congestion between an RAN and a CN and saves network resources.

  • Publication number: 20150168071
    Abstract: A bent heat exchanger includes a first manifold, a second manifold, and a plurality of flat tubes each being configured to communicate the first manifold with the second manifold, and fins between the flat tubes; wherein the flat tube includes a first straight section, a second straight section and a bent section connecting the first straight section with the second straight section. The bent section includes the first twisted section connected to the first straight section, the second twisted section connected to the second straight section, and the connecting section connecting the first twisted section with the second twisted section, and the connecting section of the flat tube has a substantially flat shape or a flat arc shape. In this way, the height of the bent heat exchanger can be reduced, which facilitates the installation and improves the heat exchange performance of the heat exchanger.
