A color organic light-emitting display device having an array of pixels divided into at least two different color pixel sets each color pixel set emitting a different predetermined color light over a common substrate, wherein each pixel in the array includes a metallic bottom-electrode layer disposed over the substrate and a metallic electrode layer spaced from the metallic bottom-electrode layer; wherein the material for reflective metallic electrode layer includes Ag, Au, Al, or alloys thereof, the material for the semitransparent metallic electrode layer includes Ag, Au, or alloys thereof; and wherein the thickness of the semitransparent metallic electrode layer, the combined thickness of the organic layers and the transparent conductive phase-layer, and the placement of the light-emitting layer are selected so that each pixel in the display forms a tuned microcavity OLED device having an emission output efficiency above that of a comparable OLED device without the microcavity.

Criteria-driven methods and a framework are disclosed that facilitate configuration / selection of one or more wireless network interfaces / networks for carrying out wireless communications on a computing device. The wireless network interface selection and coexistence driver architecture described herein facilitates automated selection of a particular mode of network access based upon status information provided by a set of network interface drivers associated with particular network interfaces and wireless technologies. Furthermore, a criteria-driven interface / network selection framework is described that is potentially invoked in a variety of situations including, but not limited to, when an application is invoked or to select another interface / network to avoid detected interference.

A toilet includes a toilet bowl assembly having a toilet bowl and a trapway extending from the bottom of the toilet bowl to a sewage line. The toilet bowl has a rim channel provided along an upper perimeter portion thereof. In this toilet, the flush water flows through the rim channel in a path which is asymmetric and unidirectional along the entire perimeter portion thereof. The rim channel includes a plurality of rim openings distributed evenly along the perimeter of the rim channel. Flush water passing through the plurality of rim openings pre-wets the entire perimeter of the toilet bowl. The rim channel further includes a pair of water discharge slots which directs water directly into the toilet bowl in two powerful streams. The flush valve allowing passage of water from the water tank to the toilet bowl assembly is in the form of a valve inlet having a radiused port to generate greater energy throughput of the flush water.

An elastic shield comprising an acoustic channel having a sound inlet and a sound outlet, and a hollow portion being adapted to at least partly surround a miniature microphone, or alternatively, arranged to follow an outer contour of a miniature microphone. The present invention further relates to a miniature microphone assembly comprising a miniature microphone having a sound inlet, and an elastic shield comprising an acoustic channel having a sound inlet and a sound outlet, the elastic shield further comprising a hollow portion housing at least part of the miniature microphone in a manner so that the sound outlet of the acoustic channel is aligned with the sound inlet of the miniature microphone.

The present invention relates to a method for increasing the oxidation stability of biodiesel, which includes adding a main antioxidant with a melting point of less than or equal to 40°C in an amount of 10-20000 ppm (w / w) into the biodiesel to be stabilized, wherein the The primary antioxidant contains at least one compound of structure I, wherein R1, R2 = hydrogen, a linear alkyl group having 1 to 20 carbon atoms or, where * is a carbon atom of an aromatic ring system, R3, R5 = hydrogen, straight-chain alkyl group having 1 to 20 carbon atoms, R4 = hydrogen, straight-chain alkyl group having 1 to 40 carbon atoms, where the substituents of type R1 and R2 are the same as the substituents of type R3 and R5. Either the same or different in each case.

The invention discloses a water-saving, uneasily blocked and automatic high pressure flush closet, which relates to the field of closets. When no person sits on the closet, a pipeline port is sealed by a closet piston and a stable sealing pipe. When a person uses the closet, tap water enters a water spray elastic rubber pipe; after the person leaves, water stored in the rubber pipe is sprayed out under triple force of restoring force of the rubber pipe and restoring force and transferred tap water pressure of the closet; the water enters a water spray inner shaft pipe from a water tank of the closet; the piston and a cylinder at the pipeline port of the closet move downwards under water pressure, and water is started to be sprayed out from a water spray hole of the cylinder; the water also flows into a pump chamber; a sandwich layer shaft pipe rotates along with an impeller; the water also enters a water spray pipeline of a closet body and an upper part of a water spray outer shaft pipe; and the water spray pipe of the closet and the water spray hole in the closet cylinder are used for rotatablely spraying the water to the inner wall of the pipeline, the water spray hole in the pipeline of the closet body is used for spraying the water to the rotating closet piston, water spray pipe and cylinder. Excrement is fed into a sewer under the action of centrifugal force and sprayed water. The closet finishes flushing.

A water supply apparatus includes an apparatus body disposed in a flow passage for sucking water to an indoor facility and a power generation unit installed in the apparatus body. Further, the power generation unit further comprises a rotating shaft extended in a direction perpendicular to the water channel direction of the flow passage, and impeller installed on the rotating shaft and rotated by a water flow, a magnet rotated interlockingly with the impeller, and a coil arranged oppositely to the magnet, wherein the impeller forms blades in the radial outer direction and forms clearances allowing water to pass to the inside of the blades. Since the clearances are formed between the blades and the rotating shaft such a trouble that water flowing into the base ends of the blades obstructs the rotation of the impeller can be eliminated to increase a power generation amount by the power generation unit. In addition, since there is no need to expand the flow passage on the outside of the impeller to reduce the rotational resistance of the impeller, the size of the water supply apparatus can be reduced.

A digital electronic volume / flow control sensor toilet includes a bowl, a water storage tank interconnected with the bowl, and a digital electronic volume / flow control sensor flushing mechanism. The flushing mechanism has components including a volume sensor, a shuttle, a plunger assembly, a motor, a water valve, and a control with a power source and volume / flow control sensor circuitry communicatively interconnecting the components. The volume sensor has a plurality of electrically conductive contact points exposed on a surface and at positions along a length of the side of the volume sensor with a recess, the positions of the contact points corresponding to predetermined volume levels of the flushing mechanism. A plurality of VOLUME SELECTION buttons / switches are mounted on an outer surface of the water storage tank, the VOLUME SELECTION buttons / switches being associated with the contact points. A HOLD button / switch can be mounted on the outer surface of the water storage tank.
