IPC: F21S8/00
Filed: 2021-01-28
Abstract: The present invention discloses a lighting effect adjustment system including a light source module, and a focusing module, a magnification module and a light output lens that are arranged in sequence along a beam projection direction of the light source module. The focusing module, the magnification module and the light output lens are mounted on a stage light holder, the focusing module and the magnification module are independently slidable in a light path direction. An effect module is further slidably arranged between the focusing module and the light output lens. The effect module includes one or more effect sheets configured to be switched into and out from a light path, and motions of the effect module and the magnification module are independent without interference with each other. The independent configuration of the effect module that can be slidable alone allows the effect module to avoid the magnification module, thereby eliminating limitation caused by the magnification module on switch-in of the effect sheet and constraints on light angle adjustment caused by the switch-in of the effect sheet, and thus enabling a stage light to switch in the effect sheet, such as prism or mirror frosting, at all angles and allowing the stage light to exhibit richer stage effects.

Abstract: A two-piece valve shell (body and bolted-on top bonnet) structure reduces possible leakage paths while also providing a top-side ball/stem installation/removal path (when the bonnet piece is not present) to facilitate initial valve assembly as well as subsequent inspection/removal of the ball/stem and other valve internals for conducting valve maintenance without requiring the valve body to be removed from its process connections. Internal wetted valve surfaces are coated with tantalum to provide a tantalum ball valve suitable for use as a sulfuric acid feed valve in severe high-temperature high-pressure industrial processes such as HPAL processes. Sealing cavities created by spaced-apart body-to-bonnet and/or stem-to-bonnet sealing structures can be inertly pressurized to hermetically isolate the sealing structures from ingress/leakage of corrosive process materials.

Abstract: The present disclosure provides an analyzer with a reduced adverse effect to photometry accompanying acceleration or deceleration of a cuvette table. An actuator 4 drives a cuvette table 3 where a plurality of cuvettes are disposed annularly so that the cuvette table 3 performs intermittent rotation in which a resting state and a rotating state are repeatedly alternated, and each time the cuvette table 3 rotates intermittently, a row of the plurality of cuvettes is displaced in the annular direction by a given number of cuvettes. In the resting state, a pretreatment part 6 performs pretreatment to a cuvette that stands still at a pretreatment position 6p, and a post treatment part 7 performs post treatment to a cuvette that stands still at a post treatment position 7p. In the rotating state, a photometry part 5 performs photometry to a cuvette that passes through a photometric position 5p. A controller 8, in the rotating state until the cuvette that stood still at the pretreatment position 6p stands still at the post treatment position 7p after the completion of the pretreatment, controls the actuator 4 so that the cuvette passes through the photometric position 5p at a fixed rotational speed, each time the cuvette passes through the photometric position 5p.

Inventor: CUI AIGUO
IPC: G06F9/445
Filed: 2021-05-26
Abstract: This application provides a process running method, including: receiving a process startup request; executing an executable file of a target process in a kernel based on the process startup request, to obtain first running function data that supports running of the target process in the kernel; migrating the first running function data to a functional safety partition to obtain second running function data, where the functional safety partition and the kernel are located at a same privilege layer; and running the target process in the functional safety partition based on the second running function data. In the solutions of this application, both the functional safety partition and the kernel are located at a kernel layer. In this way, during process running, a service at the kernel layer can be called without switching from a user layer to the kernel layer. This reduces performance overheads caused by privilege layer switching, and improves performance of a processor and a terminal device.
