Abstract:
A securing device for a bicycle front fork has a clamping sleeve, an upper pressing base and a lower pressing base. The clamping sleeve is hollow, is made of a resilient material and has a C-shaped cross section. The upper pressing base is attached to a top end of the clamping sleeve and has a threaded hole and an upper pressing surface. The threaded hole is defined in the upper pressing base to screw with a connecting bolt. The upper pressing surface is conical and pressing against the inner surface of the clamping sleeve. The lower pressing base is attached to a bottom end of the clamping sleeve, is connected to the upper pressing base in a thread manner and has a lower pressing surface. The lower pressing surface is conical and presses against the inner surface the clamping sleeve.
Abstract:
A method and an apparatus for controlling functionalities of a computer system are provided. The apparatus comprises a key, a serial input unit, and a processing unit. The key is used for enabling an adjustment function of a computer system. The serial input unit is used for generating an adjustment signal for modifying a parameter corresponding to the adjustment function. The adjustment signal is omni-directional and continuously variable. The processing unit connected to the key and the serial input unit is used for modifying the parameter according to the adjustment signal so as to execute the adjustment function when the adjustment function is enabled. As a result, a more intuitive way to control the computer system is provided so as to increase the convenience of using the computer system.
Abstract:
A data write/read auxiliary device and method for writing/reading data are provided. A data storage unit and a program storage unit are installed in the data write/read auxiliary device, wherein the program storage unit is for storing automatic execution program and protection program. When the data write/read auxiliary device is connected to a data processing device, the automatic execution program is executed for automatically executing programs stored in the program storage unit. The protection program is executed for executing an access process on data storage unit to judge whether driving a write/read head or not based on outcome of the access process when a file sharing software is executed for data downloading and uploading. Through the data storage unit as a buffer area of data before writing/reading data on a hard disk, the data write/read auxiliary device and method for writing/reading data can protect the hard disk.
Abstract:
A feedback signal sensing method includes the steps of: providing a pulse width modulation (PWM) signal having a period; charging a capacitor by a current source during a pulse duration of the period, so as to form an equivalent slope compensation ramp signal; conducting an inductor current flowing from a boost inductor to flow through an equivalent resistor during the pulse duration of the period, so as to form an equivalent inductor current signal; and using a coupling characteristic of the capacitor together with the equivalent slope compensation ramp signal and the equivalent inductor current signal to form a feedback signal.
Abstract:
Two chemical genera of pyrazolylphenyl and pyrrolylphenyl derivatives are disclosed. They have the general formula: In these compounds ring (a) is a pyrazole or pyrrole; Q is selected from the group consisting of a direct bond, O, S, SO, SO2, NR1, CH2, CF2, and C(O); HET is a 4-7-membered saturated nitrogenous heterocycle; and taken together ZW is H or Z is (CH2)1-10 in which one or two (CH2) may optionally be replaced by —O—, —NR1—, —SO—, —S(O)2—, —C(═O)— or —C═O(NH)—; and W is hydrogen, acyl, hydroxyl, carboxyl, amino, carboxamido, aminoacyl, —COOalkyl, —CHO, heterocyclyl, substituted aryl or substituted heterocyclyl. The compounds are inhibitors of LTA4H (leukotriene A4 hydrolase). They are useful for the treatment and prevention and prophylaxis of inflammatory diseases and disorders.
Abstract:
A method of identifying a location of a query string in an audio signal is provided. Under the method, a segment of the audio signal is selected. A score for a query string in the segment of the audio signal is determined by determining the product of probabilities of overlapping sequences of tokens. The score is then used to decide if the segment of the audio signal is likely to contain the query string.
Abstract:
A projector employing multiple organic electroluminescence (OEL) image panels, in which each image panel is made with multiple light-emitting OEL components. Each light-emitting OEL component represents one image element. The OEL component is capable of emitting individual prime colors, red (R), green (G) or blue (B), or producing white light which is then made to passes through color filters to produce RGB colors. The new structure for the projector provides the features of downsized dimensions, luminous efficiency and light-focusing capability.

Abstract:
A hotel booking management system has a member services platform, a hotel information services platform, a guest operation interface and a hotel management interface. The guest operation interface serves for a guest to connect a mobile device thereof to the member services platform in completion of a membership registration. When the registration is completed, a membership registration module of the member services platform transmits a dedicated two-dimensional barcode to the mobile device. When the guest is checking in, the guest only has to provide the 2D barcode for scanning such that the hotel management interface can read corresponding registration information of the guest to rapidly finish the check-in procedure. Using the foregoing technique allows guests to perform fast on-line booking of hotel accommodation, and hotels can transmit information dedicated to guests through the hotel information services platform.
