This invention provides a structured luggage system that allows for maximum versatility in luggage piece dimensions and using two luggage pieces. Each of the two luggage pieces can be converted from a full-height luggage piece to an approximately half-height piece with relative ease. The lower or main piece includes conventional wheels and a retractable/extendible handle for easy transport. The upper or secondary piece is adapted to stack on and be secured to the extended handle and (in full-height configuration) offer a secondary grip for added stability adjacent to the handle grip. The lower piece includes an inner central septum that can be sealed or opened to selectively define either a two-compartment piece or large, single compartment piece. Each compartment includes easily removable stiffeners in corresponding side pockets. By removing the upper compartment stiffeners, the pocket can be collapsed into a thickened top that includes the septum as the thickened top's inside face. By also removing the bottom set of stiffeners, the bottom compartment can be collapsed, allowing the entire main/lower piece to be compressed for easy storage.

A single-compartment combined-sphere broad-frequency submarine seismometer, which comprises a submersion coupling frame, a seismometer compartment, a function compartment and an unhooking mechanism. The submersion coupling frame, which is located at the bottom of the submarine seismometer, is provided with a rigid ring to accommodate the seismometer compartment and thereby allow the sealed seismometer compartment (48) inside said seismometer compartment to sit on the seabed directly. The seismometer compartment comprises a bell-shaped protective cover (49) and the sealed seismometer compartment (48). The bell-shaped protective cover (49) opens downwards. The upside of the sealed seismometer compartment (48) is suspended from the top inner surface of the bell-shaped protective cover (49) by multiple cables, and the underside of the sealed seismometer compartment (48) extends beneath the opening of the bell-shaped protective cover (49) to sit flush with the underside of the submersion-coupling frame. The unhooking mechanism is provided on the function compartment (36) and is connected fixedly with the rim of the submersion-coupling frame by a fusible tension steel wire (24), thus fixing the function compartment (36) and the seismometer compartment to the rigid ring at the center of the submersion coupling frame. The seismograph is installed in the sealed seismometer compartment (48) and is thus seated on the seabed directly, whereby the severe distortion of horizontal signals recorded by the submarine seismograph can be effectively overcome without the use of multilayer coupling structures.

A subway train marshalling structure allows the length of the train to be beyond a platform, passenger capacity to be improved, transport capacity to be expanded and stopping time is not lengthened at the same time under the condition that the station platform is not needed to be extended. The subway train is formed through connection of single compartments. The length of the subway train is greater than the length of the platform. Partition walls are arranged in the compartments of the train to divide the train into a seating area of the end portion of the train and a mixed area of the middle part of the train. A vehicle door is arranged on one end, close to the partition wall, in the seating area. The length from the outer end of the vehicle door to the outer end of the other end of the vehicle door is smaller than the length of the platform. The subway train marshalling with length beyond the platform is used for increasing the subway transport capacity, reducing the pressure on urban public transport, and providing citizens with more travel choices.

A single-compartment knee prosthesis provides different femoral implants for the medial and lateral compartments. Both femoral implants feature distinct bends and slight twists following the anatomical shape of the corresponding compartment, of about 22° for the medial implant (11) and 14° for the lateral femoral implant (31). The complementary tibial plates also differ according to whether they are adapted to the medial or to the lateral compartment. In the latter case, the shape of the tibial plate (39) is substantially semicircular whereas the medial tibial plate (19) is more elongated.

The invention discloses a circular ring lifting tool based on satellite bearing cylinder lifting. Different from a general support rod type lifting tool, a circular ring lifting tool is used between a lifting beam and a satellite. Before the lifting tool is used, a lifting beam component is connected with a circular ring component by a quick-release stop pin, and then the circular ring component is connected with a frame at the upper end of a bearing cylinder through a plurality of fasteners, so that the lifting of the whole satellite or a single compartment is achieved. The quick-release stop pin can simplify the assembly of the lifting tool, and the fasteners can reinforce the frame at the upper end of the bearing cylinder in a lifting process of the whole satellite or the single compartment, so that stresses of connection points are relatively uniform, and the difficulty for designing a lifting point on the frame at the upper end of the bearing cylinder is reduced.

The invention relates to a preparation method of a liposome and the liposome prepared by the preparation method. The preparation method of the liposome comprises the following steps: (1) respectively preparing a lipoid molecule solution and a guest molecule solution; and (2) mixing the mixed lipoid molecule solution prepared in step (1) with a host molecule solution, so as to obtain the liposome. The liposome obtained by the preparation method is a single-compartment liposome of which the particle size is distributed in the range of 15-100nm, especially, in the range of 20-80nm. The invention also provides a preparation method of a drug-carrying liposome as well as the drug-carrying liposome obtained by the preparation method. The liposome or the drug-carrying liposome prepared by the preparation method is small in particle size and narrow in distribution, so that the liposome drug can be more rapidly administered to the lesion to improve curative effect; moreover, the micro-particle-size liposome prepared by the preparation method is capable of reaching the inside of the tumor tissue where the regular liposome cannot reach. Furthermore, the in-vivo transport time of the liposome drug is shortened by the rapid administration of the liposome drug, so that the degradation loss of the liposome drug by the organism enzyme system and the immune system is further reduced so as to reduce the toxic and side effects.
