A digital camera and automatic mode detection method that eliminates the need for a user to select between video recording mode and still image mode while using the camera. The appropriate mode is automatically selected by the digital camera based upon the length of time its shutter button is depressed.

A method and apparatus for accessing content is capable of retrieving and selecting information is facilitated by using uniform operations. Symbols corresponding to pre-recorded programs contained on a recording medium are displayed on a screen. In response to selecting one of the symbols, representative frames comprising the program are displayed on the screen. In response to selecting a representative frame, a portion of the program is played back. In a recording device, content is accessed by displaying a representative frame from each of a number of user-defined streams. At least a portion of a stream is played back in response to selection of the corresponding one of the representative frames.

In an image capture apparatus which captures an image, with respect to one or a plurality of types of parameters to be set at a photo opportunity, a desired set value of the parameter is registered beforehand, and it is possible to easily change to a setting for the photo opportunity at the photo opportunity. Therefore, a user can easily change to a desired set value at the photo opportunity.

Some embodiments provide a method of presenting several user interface (UI) controls for editing images. Upon receiving a selection of an image to edit, the method displays the image in a display area for displaying edits to the image. At a first location, the method receives input to activate a UI tool includes the several UI tools. In response to the input, the method displays, at a second location, a fanning animation that fans the several UI controls from a fanned closed layout to a fanned open layout.

A wind turbine has a generator (7) with a connected rotor (3) having a hub (4) and blades (5) rotatably connected to the hub for adjusting the pitch angle. In a method of operating such a wind turbine under climatic conditions, where there is a risk of icing on the blades and no or weak wind, the generator is used as a motor for driving the rotor and the pitch angle of the blades is adjusted to ensure that the resulting wind substantially hits the leading edge of the blades. It is thus ensured that any icing only occurs on the leading edge of the blades. Any ice formed may be removed by means of de-icing in a known manner.

A magnetic recording medium includes a substrate, an underlayer, a lower magnetic layer formed on the underlayer, an intermediate layer, and an upper magnetic layer formed on the intermediate layer. The intermediate layer is typically Ru, and promotes anti ferromagnetic coupling between the upper and lower magnetic layers. The upper and lower magnetic layers are typically Co alloys. The lower magnetic layer has a high saturation magnetization Ms to promote high exchange coupling between the upper and lower magnetic layers. The dynamic coercivity of the lower magnetic layer is lower than the exchange field to ensure rapid switching of the lower magnetic layer.

The invention discloses a high-reliability frequency source device, and aims to provide a frequency source device with high reliability, and good long-term and short-term stability. The equipment is implemented through the following technical scheme: two three-in-one antennas and signal amplifiers are adopted by a receiving switching unit and are connected in series to form a 2*3 signal switching matrix; the 2*3 signal switching matrix switches received satellite signals via multichannel receiver chips and a one-out-three switch; the one-out-three switch receives three paths of satellite second signals which can be of a same source or different sources; one path of the satellite second signals selected is fed into a one-to-three power divider; three paths of same-source satellite second signals obtained by power dividing are respectively transmitted to a locking unit so that the input same-source satellite second signals are locked and are respectively output to a signal processing unit A and a signal processing unit B; and the other path of satellite second signals passing through the one-to-three power divider is used for carrying out frequency correction disciplining on a rubidium clock; standard frequency signals are transmitted to a signal processing unit C via a rubidium clock phase locking unit; and thus, three standard frequency signals of the same source are formed and output.

The present invention discloses a memory sharing mechanism based on priority elevation. In accordance with the present invention, there is provided an apparatus and method for transporting packets of data in a communication device, wherein each packet is assigned one of several priorities and received based on memory state information. The method comprises the steps of storing the received packets in a memory and modifying the assigned priority of any of the packets causing congestion within the memory.

A tube cutting device with a rapid separable handle comprises a tube cutter and a handle. The tube cutter comprises a C-shaped housing, a one-way rotation part, and a limit part. The handle comprises a grip part, a C-shaped guiding seat, a separation control part, and a control button. The C-shaped guiding seat is for unidirectional rotation of the C-shaped housing via the one-way rotation part. In a combination position, it engages with the limit part so that the tube cutter and the handle are mutually fixed. In a separation position, it is separated from the limit part so that the tube cutter and the handle are separable from each other for independently perform tube cutting.

There is provided a portable information code display apparatus. The apparatus includes a display unit that is capable of displaying an image in addition to a direction detecting unit and a display control unit. The direction detecting unit is capable of detecting that the display unit is oriented is a predetermined orientation. The display control unit controlling display performed in the display unit. Practically, the display control unit displays an information code on the display unit in a predetermined readable state in which the information is readable and to maintains the display of the information code in the readable state, when the direction detecting unit detects that the display unit is oriented in the predetermined orientation.

A selector valve operating mechanism is provided with operating pistons which are hydraulic pistons connected through an operation link to a spool of a PTO selector valve, an solenoid valve for hydraulically controlling reciprocation of the operating pistons, and a controller which is a control device for transmitting an operation signal to the solenoid valve. Control of operation of the solenoid valve moves the spool through the operating pistons and the operation link to switch the PTO selector valve.

The invention discloses a sludge incinerator contaminant ultralow emission device and method. The device comprises a combustion furnace, an exhaust pipe, a carbon tank and a purification tank. A feedhopper is mounted on the top of the combustion furnace, the bottom of the combustion furnace is connected with a base, electromagnetic valves are mounted at the joint of one end of the combustion furnace and the feed hopper and the joint of the other end of the combustion furnace and the base, one side of the middle of the combustion furnace is connected with an air inflow pipe, the other side ofthe middle of the combustion furnace is connected with a suction pipe, and a one-way valve is mounted at the joint of the suction pipe and the combustion furnace. The bottom of the base is connected with the exhaust pipe, one end of the exhaust pipe is connected with the carbon tank, and one end of the carbon tank is connected with the purification tank through the exhaust pipe. By means of the device, emitted contaminants can be reduced, ultralow emission is achieved, and environmental pollution is reduced. Active carbon layers are freely switched to be used, the frequency of replacing the active carbon layers in the carbon tank is reduced, the active carbon layers are replaced at a time after all the active carbon layers are used, and therefore the working efficiency is improved. The active carbon layers are easy and rapid to switch, the operation is convenient, and the filtering efficiency is unchanged.
