A tape printer for use with a tape cassette and an ink ribbon cassette, the printer comprising a housing and a printhead having a line of printing elements thereon, wherein said printer comprises at least one cassette receiving portion in said housing for receiving the tape cassette and the ink ribbon cassette, such that the cassettes are receivable in a direction which is substantially perpendicular to the line of printing elements on the printhead when the printhead is in a printing position.

Plating apparatus comprises a gear mechanism for imparting planetary motion to a set of holders for holding substrates in a plating bath. The holders are typically a non-conductive material such as plastic. The holders are coupled to a bearing comprising first and second plastic races and metallic balls therebetween. This embodiment reduces the amount of plastic moving against plastic, and therefore reduces the amount of wear, friction, and generation of contaminant parts. The holders comprise a central mandrel and outer mandrels connected to end pieces. The substrates are held at their outer edges between the outer mandrels and the central mandrels.

The invention provides a cooking utensil. The cooking utensil comprises an outer pot, a temperature controller, an elastic part and a heating disc. Guide holes are formed in the outer pot, the temperature controller is put in the outer pot, supporting legs are arranged at the bottom of a shell of the temperature controller, and the supporting legs penetrate through the guide holes. The elastic part is arranged between the shell and the outer pot, and the upper end and the lower end of the elastic part abut against the shell and the inner bottom wall of the outer pot respectively. The heating disc is arranged in the outer pot and covers the temperature controller, a receding hole is formed in the heating disc, and the top of the temperature controller can protrude out of the receding hole.The supporting legs make contact with the guide holes tangentially, and the sizes of the cross sections of the guide holes are larger than those of the cross sections of the supporting legs. Accordingto the cooking utensil, the supporting legs make contact with the guide holes tangentially, and the sizes of the cross sections of the guide holes are larger than those of the cross sections of the supporting legs, it is effectively avoided that a main temperature controller greatly rubs with an outer pot in the moving process, so that the main temperature controller is jammed, thus, the problemof jamming of the temperature controller is conveniently and effectively solved, and the cooking utensil is simple in structure and beneficial for popularization.

Disclosed are techniques for performing an antivirus task in a mobile wireless device running an embedded operating system. In one embodiment, calls intended for an application programming interface (API) function code is redirected to an antivirus function code. The redirection to the antivirus function code may be performed by modifying a kernel structure to point to a modified entry list instead of an API entry list. The redirection to the antivirus function code may also be performed by modifying the API function code to allow the antivirus function code to execute before the API function code. The kernel structure or the API function code may be properly restored back to its original form. Software implementations of these techniques may be readily loaded and unloaded, and may not require re-installation of the embedded operating system.

A cargo rack apparatus for removable attachment to a boat, such as to the vertical supports of a wakeboard boat tower. One embodiment includes one or more peripheral rails defining front, back, and side walls, and an interior volume, and one or more crossmembers between walls to provide a support surface for stored items. The apparatus can be attached to the vertical supports of the boat tower by releasable connectors or mounts at a plurality of points, and can subsequently be easily and completely removed from the tower. Upon release of only some of the connectors, the rack pivots relative to the tower to enable the storage area of the rack to be brought closer to the user, making it easier to load and unload cargo. The entire rack can also pivot and fold down with the boat tower for storage, towing, and areas of limited clearance. An alternate embodiment provides a sliding arrangement so that the rack apparatus slides longitudinally on one or more of its rails or sides relative to the mount, and can pivot downwardly at any point during or at the end of the sliding displacement.
