A schedule recording section (4) records a user's schedule. A SOC (state-of-charge) optimization planning section (5) plans the SOC of a rechargeable battery (21) based on the user's schedule. The planned control target SOC is optimized through a comparison between the continuous charging characteristic of the rechargeable battery (21) and the length of an operable period or the amount of electric power to be secured at the time of battery-powered operation. For example, a control target SOC is set at a full charge in the proximity of the period during which a battery-powered operation time is expected to be long. A control target SOC is set lower enough than a full charge in the period during which a connection to an external power supply (A) by the AC adapter (11) is expected to continue for a long time. A power-supply control section (3) controls the charge and discharge of the rechargeable battery (21) according to a plan for the optimization of the SOC.

The grid application and storage system comprises a plurality of grid application storage nodes with at least one storage system, said grid application storage nodes being remote to each other and connected via inter-connections; at least one application process distributed across said grid application storage nodes; and at least one grid node control process also distributed across said grid application storage nodes, said grid node control process managing grid application storage node operations. A plurality of client systems are connected to said grid application and storage system via a network for deploying said application process and accessing application data stored on said grid application storage nodes.

A cutter hub and blade assembly for cutting polymer strands extruded from a die face in a pelletizer has cutter blades mounted on the cutter hub at a steep angle. The blades are beveled along a portion of their leading edge to form a blunt cutting edge or surface to the blades which is generally perpendicular to the die face. By beveling the leading edge of a blade supported at a steep angle to form a blunt cutting edge, the bottom surface area of the blade in contact with the die face can be significantly reduced. The reduced contact area provides several advantages including a clean cut of the pellets and a faster blade grinding when seating the blades to the die face.

The purpose of the present invention is to provide a crucible which has high viscosity at high temperature, can be used for a long time, and can be manufactured at low cost, and a method of manufacturing the crucible. The present invention provides a composite crucible including a vitreous silica crucible body having a sidewall portion and a bottom portion, and a reinforcement layer provided on an outer surface side of an upper end portion of the vitreous silica crucible body, wherein the reinforcement layer is made of mullite material whose main component is alumina and silica.

An ear hook microphone comprises an ear hook, a cable pole, a cable pole receiving device and a cable pole adjusting device. The ear hook comprises an injection position. The cable pole receiving device is fixed in the injection position and comprises an underlying flange. The cable pole adjusting device is fixed in the cable pole receiving device, which includes a fixed block, a pressing block, a button and a plurality of flexible members. The fixed block includes a base plate. A button hole is formed in the middle of the base plate. Two side plates upwardly extend from the two opposite ends of the base plate respectively. Each of the two side plates opens a through hole at the cable pole. The pressing block is placed between the two side plates. The top end of the button inserts through the button hole then connects with the pressing block. The button comprises a bar. The top end of the bar has a perforated hole. An upborne flange protrudes from the lower portion of the bar. The upborne flange shall be placed on the underlying flange. The plurality of flexible members are fixed to press the cable pole tightly. The cable pole is inserted into the two through holes and the perforated hole.

The present invention relates to a cold and hot compress bag. The cold and hot compress bag comprises a compress bag body, straps, and a semiconductor refrigeration/heating sheet, a heat dissipating component and a medium temperature guiding chamber arranged in the compress bag body, the heat dissipating component comprises a water tank and a water pump; the medium temperature guiding chamber is arranged on the compress bag body and in contact with the semiconductor refrigeration/heating sheet, and the semiconductor refrigeration/heating sheet transmits temperature after refrigeration or heating to a temperature guiding medium of the medium temperature guiding chamber; and the compress bag body is further internally provided with power supply, the power supply is connected with the semiconductor refrigeration/heating sheet and the water pump through a three-gear six-foot ship-type switch, the three-gear six-foot ship-type switch is used to switch a current direction, and the refrigeration or heating of the semiconductor refrigeration/heating sheet is realized. The cold and hot compress bag is simple in structure, convenient to use and low in manufacturing cost, the refrigeration/heating sheet can realize the long-time refrigeration or heating, and at the same time, cold compress and hot compress functions can be realized; and in addition, the heat dissipating component solves aheat dissipation problem of the refrigeration sheet and avoids a problem that heat generation of the refrigeration sheet leads to short service life.

A tracheal tube system includes a tracheal tube assembly having a cannula configured to be positioned in a patient airway, and a connector coupled to the proximal end of the cannula. The tracheal tube assembly further includes a flange member secured about the cannula. The flange member includes an interior face configured to be disposed onto a patient neck when in use and a first plurality of protrusions disposed on top of the interior face, wherein the cannula and the connector form a contiguous passageway for exchanging fluid with the patient airway in operation.

Process for producing powdered polycyanoacrylate polymer by charging a reaction vessel with an aqueous mist, dripping a 2-cyanoacrylate into the reaction vessel, allowing the resulting reaction mass (polycyanoacrylate polymer) to cool, removing the polycyanoacrylate polymer from the reaction vessel, drying it, and pulverizing the dry solid into a powder. Powdered polycyanoacrylate polymer having a particle diameter in the range of from 1 to 200 microns. The particle size and shape herein contribute to uniform distribution of fumes during fingerprint capture. A high level of accuracy in fingerprint detection is provided among three distinct levels which include: (a) first level detection from ridge flow patterns such as whorl or loop; (b) second level detection from ridge flow singularities such as ridge endings and bifurcations; (c) and third level detection from pore configuration.
