Abstract: Described herein is an intelligent remote controlling device (e.g. a mobile phone). The device can include a six-axis motion sensor to accurately track three dimensional hand motions. For example, the sensors can include a three-axis accelerometer and a three-axis gyroscope. The remote control device can also include a processing unit integrated with the motion sensors in a single module. The processing unit can convert data regarding the hand motion to data regarding a cursor motion for a cursor that will be displayed on a screen of an electronic device. The processing unit can be integrated with the motion sensors in a single module (e.g. an integrated circuit chip (IC)). The processing unit can include at least two modes of functionality corresponding to different types of hand motion: a one to one mode where the cursor directly tracks the hand motion and a non-linear mode that filters data from the motion sensors to eliminate hand jitter.

Abstract: Described is a technology by which a virtual machine may be safely migrated to a computer system with a different platform. Compatibility of the virtual machine may be checked by comparing the virtual machine's capabilities against those of the new platform. To ensure compatibility, when created the virtual machine may have its capabilities limited by the lowest common capabilities of the different platforms available for migration. Computer systems may be grouped into migration pools based upon similar capabilities, and/or a virtual machine may be mapped to certain computer systems based upon capabilities needed by that virtual machine, such as corresponding to needed performance, fault tolerance and/or flexibility.

Abstract: An integrated waterway assembly of a reverse osmosis (RO) water filtration device includes a main body, a shut off valve, a mounting shelf, a top cover, a bottom cover and a fixing ring. Water to be filtered sequentially goes through a water inlet, a shut off valve, a RO cartridge joint and a check valve, and a filtered water outlet on the main body to get the water filtered. The RO cartridge joint on a bottom portion of the main body is connected with a RO cartridge, and water enters the RO cartridge and further flows through the RO cartridge joint to get the water filtered. Given the foregoing structure, the water filtration device is structurally compact and integrated and has less water leakage.

The at least two filter cores are each connected to bottom of each filter core wall seat. The connection member is used to connect two adjacent filter core wall seats through their sides. The connection tube is disposed on the water output port of the filter core wall seat, to connect to the water input port of an adjacent filter core wall seat. The connection type Reverse Osmosis (RO) water purifier is compact in structure, and is used to achieve modular connection.
