An image forming apparatus includes a waste-toner container, a light sensor having a light-emitting portion and a light-receiving portion, a light-blocking member for covering the light sensor to detect the attachment of the container, and a control unit. When the waste-toner container is determined to be full based on the output voltage of the light sensor, the printing operation is stopped or is not started until it is determined that the container is removed and then attached, and that the waste-toner container is not full. A method for detecting the fullness of a toner container includes the steps of detecting the fullness of the toner container, prohibiting printing, detecting whether or not the waste-toner container is attached, and permitting printing.

A system for ligase-free cloning and/or expressing a target gene is described herein. A preferred version of the invention includes an E. coli host. The host preferably includes a T7 RNA polymerase gene comprising a T7gpl coding sequence, a lacUV5 promoter, and a lac operator. The host preferably further includes a lacI gene comprising a lacI coding sequence with an ATG start codon, a promoter derived from the lac^ql allele, and a translational enhancer derived from a 5′ RNA leader sequence of T7 gene 10. The invention further includes a low-copy plasmid vector comprising a T7 promoter a lac operator operationally linked to the T7 promoter. The system is configured to inhibit target gene expression when uninduced and to permit gene expression upon induction by auto-induction.

Disclosed are methods and systems for interfaces between video applications and display screens that allow applications to intelligently use display resources of their host device without tying themselves too closely to operational particulars of that host. A graphics arbiter provides display environment information to the video applications and accesses the applications' output to efficiently present that output to the display screen, possibly transforming the output or allowing another application to transform it in the process. The graphics arbiter tells applications the estimated time when the next frame will be displayed on the screen. Applications tailor their output to the estimated display time, thus improving output quality while decreasing resource waste by avoiding the production of “extra” frames. The graphics arbiter tells an application when its output is fully or partially occluded so that the application need not expend resources to draw portions of frames that are not visible.

Compositions comprising bifidobacteria and galactooligosaccharides and fructooligosaccharides are provided that support the introduction of solid weaning foods in the diet of infants that receive infant milk formula or breast milk.

The present invention provides a method of producing sclareol, said method comprising contacting a particular polypeptide having a sclareol synthase activity with labdenediol diphosphate (LPP). In particular, said method may be carried out in vitro or in vivo to produce sclareol, a very useful compound in the fields of perfumery and flavoring.

The present invention furthermore relates to an optical communication system comprising a transmitter, a receiver and a multimode optical fibre.

The present invention relates to a impact body for a hydraulic impact device and, more specifically, to a impact body for a hydraulic impact device which is capable of remarkably reducing production costs by inserting a cylinder liner having a flow path into an inner wall of a body, adjusting an impact interval and an impact strength according to the properties of a material to be crushed by adjusting an impact distance of a piston, minimizing the loss of a fluid in a pipe by forming a cylindrical flow path between the body and the cylinder liner, and remarkably improving performance by employing a circular valve to shorten the flow path whereby reduction of pressure is minimized.

The invention discloses a method for preparing environment-friendly gasified oil. The method comprises the following steps of: weighing each raw material component; placing a main material and a smell remover in additives into a reaction container for stirring; placing an auxiliary material, and a heating agent, a smoke suppressor and an emulsification cosolvent in the additives into the reaction container for stirring; placing an accelerant, a combustion improver, a dispersion agent and a catalyst in the additives into the reaction container for stirring; mixing and stirring the mixed solution prepared by the steps 1 and 2 and adding the mixture into the mixed solution prepared by the step 3 for stirring; testing the pH value of the mixed solution and adding a proper amount of acidity and alkalinity regulator; adding a proper amount of anti-freezing agent; and discharging to prepare the environment-friendly gasified oil. The invention also provides the environment-friendly gasified oil which comprises 65 to 85 percent of main material, 20 to 30 percent of auxiliary material and 1 to 3 percent of additives. The method has the advantages of simplicity, stable performance of a synthesized liquid fuel, combustion flame temperature of 1,100 DEG C, fuel heat value of 8,500KJ/kg, low fuel combustion lower limit value, complete combustion, convenient and safe use and broad application.

A technique able to effect automation of a molding process corresponding to a multifarious small lot semiconductor device manufacturing process is provided. As to a frame supply unit, a lead frame conveying unit and molding press sets, which are each operated by a motor within a molding apparatus, the amount of operation of the motor is controlled in accordance with preset data so as to give an amount of operation matching the size of a lead frame. When the type of the lead frame changes, the data concerned is read and the amount of the operation of the motor is switched automatically.

This invention relates to a structural coating comprising a liquid carrier (e.g., paint), a borate-based additive, and a dynamic stabilization material. The borate-based additive provides corrosion protection through electrochemical binding of active surface corrosive sites, lubrication enhancement through the creation and re-supply to a surface where friction contact occasionally occurs of a weak slip lane crystalline material which may be a locally formed product utilizing local atmospheric humidity, and a material for reaction with an initiator to provide for freezing point depression during coating application. The dynamic stabilization material creates a balance of stabilized material for supply of corrosion protection product, lubrication reduction product, and freezing point depression product.

A water electrolysis device includes a membrane electrolyzer, an air supplying tube, and an air pump. The electrolyzer includes an ion-exchange membrane and a cathode chamber. A cathode electrode is configured in the cathode chamber. The cathode generates hydrogen gas while the electrolyzer electrolyzes water. The air pump draws air and is connected with the air supplying tube by a duct. A lead angle is formed between the duct and the air supplying tube for guiding the air from the duct into the air supplying tube to dilute the hydrogen concentration in the air supplying tube. The volume of the water electrolysis device is 8.5 liters, and the hydrogen gas generating rate of the water electrolysis device is located in a range between 120 ml/min and 600 ml/min.
