Abstract: A method for dynamically allocating MCU resources (900) during a multipoint network event such as a conference call. The method determines the number of MCU resources (900) to allocate for the start (910) of the multipoint network event and then at each of a plurality of modeling intervals during the multipoint event adjusts (930) the number of allocated MCU resources based upon actual inbound users (940). Self-tuning (100) of the allocation of MCU resources for multipoint events occurs in advance of use by providing a look ahead allocation of resources based on what is likely to be needed in the future for a conferencing event. The number of multipoint events (1020) occurring within a tuning interval are counted (1010). The number of MCU resources actually utilized during each multipoint event are accumulated (1040) and then a probability value is determined (1080) for future use of MCU resources for an upcoming multipoint event.

Abstract: A burner includes a sleeve-type top lid (10). An annular gas-separating box (30) is connected to the bottom of the top lid (10), consequently a space is formed between the top lid (10) and the gas-separating box (30), in which a cylindrical gas-mixing box (20) for mixing air and fuel gas is disposed. The gas-separating box (30) is provided with separate centric hole (31) through which air enters and fuel gas inlet hole (32) through which fuel gas enters. The cylindrical surface of the gas-mixing box (20) is arranged with several grooves (21) disposed at a distance from each other and inclined upwards, the surface of the grooves (21) is disposed with communicating holes (210) through which air exits. In this way, dispersed fuel gas and air are mixed sufficiently in the grooves inclined upwards and then whirls upwards, and flows to an inverted frustoconic flame hole (11). As the fuel gas and air are mixed sufficiently and the mixed gas whirls upwards, the combust flame is full and not extinguished easily.

Abstract: The invention provides a razor cartridge (10) with multiple blades (25) and peg(s) (74) or pegged support members (72) that aid in the control of the blades by restricting fore and aft blade movement, which in turn, reduces the amplitude of blade deflection and/or vibration during shaving. This reduction provided by the pegs improves shaving performance. Blades rest between pegs which are rounded or shaped such that the blade bottom portion contacts the peg at one point, forming a single line of contact. The pegs may be in a slalom-like, linear (with one or more peg columns), or offset arrangement. Pegs or pegged support members may be at any location of the razor blade assembly; for instance, at the center and/or at blade slot ends. Pegs may each be of different shapes and may or may not be equidistant or at the same heights as each other, depending on blade spans and exposures.
