A system and method for scheduling, and reminding people receiving care (PRC) about upcoming events uses a remote computer-based interface that allows a Caregiver at a remote location to schedule the events for the PRC. The PRC has in their residence (or other location) a device that prompts the PRC, by an audio and/or video prompt, so as to “nudge” the PRC, asking whether they intend to participate in a pre-scheduled event. A man-machine interface, such as a two input keypad containing one button labeled “yes” and another button labeled “no”, the remote Caregiver is able to monitor the responses of the electronic “nudges” offered by the system to the PRC. In turn, the device used by the remote Caregiver accumulates the responses and creates a history of the level of activity the person has indicated in which they wish to participate.

A system and methods are given for providing information on the amount of life remaining for a memory having a limited lifespan, such as a flash memory card. For example, it can provide a user with the amount of the memory's expected remaining lifetime in real time units or as a percentage of estimated initial life. An end of life warning can also be provided. The memory device can be resized by host command. In an exemplary embodiment, a host can send a request to the memory device obtain its status and the size of logical units with which it operates. Based on this information, portions of the memory device can be erased, after which it can be reformatted and operated with a reduce capacity.

The low temperature plasma contains great amount of electrons, has powerful reducing capacity to reduce metal ion into metal simple substance and has no negative reaction appearing at high temperature. The process is simple, short in reduction time, without need of chemical reductant and environment friendly.

The present invention provides fair use of resources between users by reducing capacity necessary for storage of snapshot differential data. In a storage device system, differences between only those files meeting predetermined conditions are managed as snapshots. Furthermore, upper limits are set for capacity of pools used for each condition, and when the total volume of differential data stored under a certain condition reaches the pool capacity, further snapshots are not created under that condition.

A scroll compressor includes a compressor shell having first and second scroll members. The scroll members each have a base and a generally spiral wrap extending from its base. The generally spiral wraps of the first and second scroll members interfit to define compression chambers. A shaft causes the second scroll member to orbit relative to the first scroll member. At least one bypass port is formed in a base of one scroll member, and communicates with at least one of the compression chambers. The bypass port communicates with a passage leading to a suction pressure chamber within the compressor shell. A solenoid valve is movable between a reduced capacity position and a full capacity position, and selectively supplies a pressurized fluid to a fluid valve associated with the bypass port, such that movement of the solenoid can control whether the bypass port is open or closed.

The output rotation of the engine is transmitted to the planetary gear for speed-up through the starting clutch, and then transmitted to the input shaft after speed-up, and the rotation of the input shaft is shifted through the single-type planetary gear or the double-type planetary gear, thereby reducing the shared rotation speed of each part of the automatic transmission. moment and reduce the size of each part and the capacity of each friction fit element. When the vehicle is started, the driving member to which the output rotation of the engine is transmitted is connected to the planetary carrier of the speed-up planetary gear through the starting clutch. When the starting clutch is engaged, the rotation of the driving part is accelerated by the speed-up planetary gear and transmitted to the input shaft directly connected to the ring gear. The rotation transmitted to the input shaft is selectively connected or fixed by a plurality of friction fit elements through the single planetary gear and the compound planetary gear connected to the output shaft, thereby performing multi-speed transmission and transmitting to the output shaft .

A combine harvester for harvesting grain and seed crops includes a double unloading auger system for unloading in both directions of travel harvested feed grains produced in one round or two lengths of a field to storage area of transport vehicle. The double unloading auger system has a first main unloading auger assembly being selectively operable for discharging the harvested grain from a first side of the combine harvester to the transport vehicle and a second main unloading auger assembly being selectively operable for discharging the harvested grain from a second side of the combine harvester to the transport vehicle. A pair of transverse auger is located in a bottom wall of the grain tank and is selectively reversibly driven for delivery of the harvested grain from the grain tank to either the first main unloading auger assembly or the second main unloading auger assembly. As a result, if one unloading auger system is inoperative the combine can be continued operating at a reduced capacity until the inoperative auger system is repaired.

The invention relates to a hoisting device for use at a wind turbine, in particular for use in a wind turbine nacelle, which hoisting device includes a reel, a drive motor, control mean and a hoisting line. The hoisting line is a rope, which is composed of synthetic fibre material, e.g. a high-tech rope. Hereby it is achieved that the hoisting device can be provided in a compact form, compared with traditionally used hoisting means, since the synthetic rope used as a hoisting line is characterized in having a high tensile strength and a low weight, whereby a rope having a comparable low weight can be used for lifting the same load, for which traditionally a steel wire having a relatively large weight has been used. Further, since the weight of the rope itself is relatively small, a drive motor, gear etc. having reduced capacity, power etc., can be used as compared to a traditional hoist, thereby also aiding in reducing the size, weight, complexity, cost etc. of the hoisting device.
