A mobile communication device includes a memory for storing a first frame image corresponding to a first menu and a second frame image corresponding to a second menu, a display unit coupled to the memory for displaying frame images, and a control unit coupled to the display unit for controlling the display unit to display, in sequence, the first frame image, at least one corresponding transitive image generated according to the first frame image or the second frame image, and finally, the second frame image when the control unit receives a command for transferring the first menu to the second menu.

A cause and effect function block, which can be easily integrated into a function block diagram programming environment in a process plant safety system to implement the cause and effect logic specified by a traditional cause and effect matrix, includes a set of cause inputs and a set of effect outputs. A multiplexer within the cause and effect function block receives each of the cause inputs and is coupled to one or more state machines, with a separate state machine existing for each effect output. The multiplexer decodes each of the cause inputs and, based on the cause inputs and previously identified cause and effect matrix logic, provides a trip signal to one or more of the state machines. Upon receiving a trip signal, a state machine forces an associated effect output into a tripped or safe state. If desired, the state machine may then use one or more other signals, such as signals from a user or from the process, to transition between a set of different states used to safely return the process plant back to the normal operating state from the tripped or safe state.

The invention relates to a profit based request access control method in a distributed multi-cloud data center. According to the profit based request access control method, requests can be accepted selectively, requests with high priorities are prone to be accepted through comprehensive consideration of factors such as the priority, profit and expected response time of each request, and the total bandwidth requirement of all the accepted requests is guaranteed to be not more than the total bandwidth of all the usable network service providers. An M / M / m queuing system model aiming at the distributed multi-cloud data center is built based on a queuing theory according to user requests as well as network and server resources. An effect function capable of transforming the response time of each application request into corresponding profit is designed based on the model. A constraint nonlinear planning model of request access control in the distributed multi-cloud data center is built. A profit based request access control strategy is provided by adopting a penalty function and a mixed heuristic optimization algorithm. According to the profit based request access control method in the distributed multi-cloud data center, requests of various applications can be accepted selectively, and the profit of the distributed multi-cloud data center providers is accordingly maximized.

Added openings are provided for sport utility vehicles (SUV), pick-up trucks, two and four door vehicles, vans, minivans, station wagons, or other vehicles. The opening(s) may utilize doors, gates, windows, sunroofs, or lids that provide more physical and / or visual access to the interior space, cargo, and / or seating within the vehicles that currently are not easily accessible, viewed, seen-by, or displayed-on conventional opening means. These openings may also provide the ability to place cargo within the space of the vehicle that current vehicles prohibit from being carried therein, or they may provide decorative, descriptive, or electronic displays for such vehicles, for example, advertising on taxi cabs. Among the embodiments, this invention results in a new 2 door or a 4 door SUV vehicle having added rear side doors, and a new 2 door or 4 door automobile that in effect functions likes a pick-up.

The invention relates to a water purification and aeration method and equipment for a closed recirculating aquaculture system, in particular to a method and equipment for realizing double-effect functions of water purification and aeration with an organic hollow fiber microporous membrane material as a core component. Filtration of suspended solids and organic macromolecular impurities is combined on the basis of water aeration by use of a membrane technology. Multiple steps of operation in recirculating aquaculture is integrated in a single system, the equipment occupied space is effectively reduced, and the pipeline connection is simplified; management of the whole recirculating aquaculture system is facilitated, and the operation efficiency is improved.

The invention discloses a heuristic request scheduling method oriented on delay-sensitive applications in multiple cloud data centres. Influence of a series of factors, such as difference of cloud data centres at different geographical positions and regional difference of the unit bandwidth unit and the unit energy loss cost, on profits of cloud data centre providers is comprehensively consideredin the method. According to the method disclosed by the invention, each application in each cloud data centre is modelled as an M / M / m steady-state queuing system; on this basis, an effect function forconverting the actual response time of an application request into the corresponding revenue is designed; then, on this basis, a mixed integer nonlinear programming model for maximizing the profits of the cloud data centre providers in the multiple cloud data centres is established; and finally, the model is solved by adoption of a bat algorithm based on swarm intelligence. By means of the methoddisclosed by the invention, requests of the multiple delay-sensitive applications can be scheduled in the multiple available cloud data centres; and thus, the profits of the cloud data centre providers are maximized.
