The invention provides a technique for serving relatively non-static content in a CDN (content delivery network). Content is pushed out from an originating server to a set of mirroring servers using differential caching. Each requestable object is separated into template and delta information. The originating server determines templates for differential caching, and causes those templates to be distributed using the CDN. Each mirroring server in the CDN is able to access a copy of a recent template for each request. Hosting of the template information is decoupled from hosting of the delta information. Delta information can include (a) changes to the template information since last distributed, or (b) personalized information specific to the client or to the request. Delta information can be served separately from the originating server, or can be served separately from mirroring servers using a CDN (possibly the same CDN as used to serve template information).

In one embodiment, the present invention is a method and an apparatus for bandwidth efficient distribution of content over a computer network. In one embodiment, a server cooperates with clients to reduce the usage of server bandwidth, thereby reducing bandwidth-associated distribution costs. The server controls the way that content is distributed within the system, and the clients/receivers may act as intermediate forwarders of data packets. In one embodiment, this is accomplished by sending data items to a first group of receivers on a packet-by-packet basis using unicast communication. The first group of receivers then sends the packets on to a second set of receivers, and the process continues until the packet is forwarded to all intended receivers.

Upon the option of the customer, the goods can be viewed on catalogue sheets translated to a language of the customer's choice, and the price provided in a currency selected by the customer. The customer also has the option of initiating the order with automatic credit authorization, generation of an electronic title or commercial invoice and arrangements and payment of shipping charges and any taxes and import/export duties.

The invention provides a vacuum pipeline docking technology and a high-speed permanent maglev train system. With the station-training docking technology, the door closing time of the maglev train inside the vacuum pipeline can be shortened for scores of seconds, so the rapid on-off can be realized. When a telescopic door and a separation cabin door are withdrawn to be close to the wall of the vacuum pipeline, the high-speed pass of the tray is free from being influenced. The telescopic door is locked by a permanent magnet suction disc, and the locking force is free from being controlled by the electric power, so the gas leakage and pressure relief caused by the invalid locking for sudden power down can be prevented. The energy can be remarkably saved, the energy can be saved by more than 97 percent compared with that of high-speed track train, and the energy can be saved by more than 99 percent compared with that of the airplane.

In addition, the invention further provides a system for intelligently loading the logistic cargoes.

A monitor apparatus includes a monitor main body and a base member supporting the monitor main body. A link member is disposed between the monitor main body and the base member. A base hinge connects a first side of the link member and the base member to pivot the link member with respect to the base member and to support the link member and the base member to rearwardly pivot the link member with respect to the base member and to be unfolded in a surface direction of the base member. A monitor hinge connects the monitor main body and a second side of the link member to pivot the monitor main body with respect to the link member and to support the monitor main body and the link member to forwardly pivot the monitor main body with respect to the link member and to be folded with the base member. Thus, the monitor apparatus has an adjustable height and viewing angle of the monitor main body, thereby decreasing packaging size and distribution costs.

In a system in which multiple sensor nodes is distributed and communication using an encryption key is carried out between the respective distributed nodes, a key necessary for communication is flexibly specified and stored for each node even if node arrangement is irregular or if multiple distribution methods are used in combination. An area dividing unit 611 divides a node distribution target space which is a target of node distribution into predetermined sub-spaces; a key generating unit 612 generates the same number of keys as the number of the sub-spaces; the sub-spaces and the keys are made corresponding and stored in a key pool memory region 613; an arrangement sampling unit 614 predicts an arranged point of each node based on a probability density function, selects one of the sub-spaces located within a communicable range from the predicted arranged point of each node, specifies the key assigned to the selected sub-space, and repeats the same process until a predetermined number of keys are specified for one node; and a key writing unit 615 writes the keys specified by the arrangement sampling unit 614 in the node.

A loading pallet does not require a special forklift or a large space, thereby enabling to reduce the commodity distribution cost. The loading pallet is formed of a top plate for loading the product thereon, a bottom plate for supporting the top plate thereon, and a connection unit for connecting the top plate and bottom plate in an attachable/detachable manner. The top plate, bottom plate, and connection unit are preferably made of either steel, corrugated boards, or plastic. The connection unit can extend when inserting a fork of a forklift, without requiring a special forklift, and since the connection unit shrinks when the fork is withdrawn, the loading pallet needs only a small space for storage.
