Abstract: The disclosure relates to a driving method and a driving device for a display panel and a display device, wherein the display panel includes a plurality of first pixel units and a plurality of second pixel units which are disposed adjacently. The driving method includes dividing a plurality of pixel units of the display panel into a plurality of pixel unit groups; driving subpixels in first pixel units and subpixels in second pixel units by using drive voltages of different voltage levels; driving the subpixels arranged in the same line in every two adjacent pixel unit groups by using the drive voltages of opposite polarities; and driving every continuously arranged four lines of pixel units in the same one of the pixel unit groups by using the drive voltages of different polarities.

Abstract: A smart wall-mounted socket includes a substantially square housing and a panel. The panel has a plurality of alternating current jacks and is connected to one side of the housing. The housing includes a power control module and a wireless network module having an antenna therein. The antenna is disposed in a wall of the housing abutting against the panel, or the antenna extends slightly out of the housing and abuts against the panel. The smart wall-mounted socket is directly embedded in a socket trough of a wall of a building and electrically connected with positive and negative wires of a mains electricity supply. The antenna transmits the power detection signal to the terminal controller without being interfered. Under the premise of low construction cost, the smart wall-mounted socket can achieve all aspects of home security monitoring network and high industrial economic benefits.

Abstract: A given host machine in a virtualization system having a virtual distributed storage system may receive an iSCSI protocol packet from a computer system separate from the given host machine. Processing the iSCSI protocol may include accessing distributed storage device (iSCSI target) comprising storage connected to the two or more host machines in the virtualization system. The given host machine may generate an outbound iSCSI protocol packet comprising return data received from the target and send the outbound iSCSI protocol packet to the computer system.

Abstract: Various embodiments of the present disclosure provide a method for presenting a storage cluster status, comprising: in response to a request for monitoring a first target node in a storage cluster, monitoring whether a configuration status of the first target node is changed; and in response to the configuration status of the first target node being changed, presenting changed configuration status information of the first target node to the user.

Abstract: A storage system failure detection and failover application includes a command execution engine that loads and interprets both user-defined storage system management functions, and vendor-defined storage system management functions. The user-defined storage system management functions allow the system to detect and handle failure conditions indicating both the current state of an active storage system, and the current state of one or more applications that consume a storage service or services provided by the active storage system. The user-defined storage management functions also allow the system to perform failover processing in a way that allows applications to perform application-specific processing during storage system failover.

Abstract: A new jacket design method is disclosed, especially for deepwater water heavy jacket applications. The method utilizes a special type of air bags, called Ship Launching Air Bags (SLAB), to provide low cost temporary buoyancy used for jacket installation purpose only. A designer only needs to satisfy the jacket stiffness for the resistance of environmental and gravity loads without the consideration of jacket reserve buoyancy. The required jacket reserve buoyancy could be increased with the utilization of temporally attached SLABs during the jacket installation.

Abstract: The present invention discloses a method for automatically regulating the volume of a ringtone and a communication device using the same method, wherein a regulating program is installed in a control unit of the communication device, such that when the communication device receives an incoming call, the control unit detects an external sound signal through a sound detecting unit, and the regulating program compares a corresponding sound value converted from the external sound value with a predetermined standard value stored in the communication device and automatically regulates the corresponding sound value to an regulation value until the regulation value is greater than the corresponding sound value, and then plays a preset ringtone at the volume of the regulation value through a sound generating unit.
