Abstract: A double-sided composite spectacle lens and an inject mold therefor are provided. One surface of the spectacle lens is an aspherical surface, and the other surface is a designed aspherical surface used to inhibit astigmatism, and a spectacle lens formed by combining the two surfaces has two areas with different functions: optimizing optical performance, and thinning for aesthetics. By controlling the reduction of diopter and optimizing astigmatism on one surface, and inversely offsetting astigmatism on the other surface, the degree of astigmatism of the spectacle lens formed by combining the two surfaces is significantly lower than a diopter variation, and the degree of oblique astigmatism is significantly reduced. The aesthetic thinning effects of reducing the edge or center thickness of the double-sided composite spectacle lens are significantly enhanced by accelerating reduction of the diopter on one surface and changing from reducing to increasing the diopter on the other surface.

Abstract: A method and a system of a high-temperature calcium looping thermochemical energy storage are provided. A thermochemical energy storage system is based on CaCO3/CaO, and an energy storage is performed by a mutual transformation between a thermal energy and a chemical energy. When solar irradiation is sufficient, CaCO3 solid particulates are indirectly heated by hot air generated from solar energy to perform an endothermic decomposition reaction, and received heat is stored in decomposition products of CaO and CO2 in a form of the chemical energy. When heat is required, a reversible thermochemical reaction occurs between the CaO and CO2 under an atmospheric pressure, and the chemical energy stored in the CaO and CO2 is transformed into the heat for release.

Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for preemptively loading code dependencies are described. In some systems, an application server—which may be a software component of a user device—may perform a loading process for an application framework module (e.g., based on receiving an execution request for a corresponding application). To reduce the latency of loading the framework module, the application server may perform one or more preemptive non-framework network requests to retrieve code dependencies for the framework or the application code. These requests may be sent prior to the framework loading process, or in parallel with the framework loading process. The application server may receive the code dependencies in response, and may store these dependencies in a memory cache. When the framework loading process needs these code dependencies, the application server may efficiently access the dependencies locally in the memory cache rather than remotely requesting the dependencies over the network.
