| 20090049337 | SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR TESTING REDUNDANCY AND HOT-SWAPPING CAPABILITY OF A REDUNDANT POWER SUPPLY - A system for testing redundancy and hot-swapping capability of a redundant power supply includes a power switch fixture, a system under test (SUT), and a computing device. The power switch fixture includes a processor, an alternating current (AC) source, a first relay, a second, and two AC outputs. The processor is configured for controlling the AC source to output voltage to the two AC outputs by switching one of the first and the second relay on and the first and the second relay off, so as to ensure that one of the first power supply and the second power supply is operable to provide power to the SUT. The SUT includes a redundant power supply that includes a first power supply and a second power supply. The computing device includes a test control unit for testing redundancy and hot-swapping capability of the redundant power supply. | 02-19-2009 |
| 20110037587 | ALARM SYSTEM AND METHOD - An alarm system includes a number of radio frequency identification (RFID) tags, an RFID reader, a warning unit, and a control module. The RFID reader receives radio-frequency signals from some of the number of the RFID tags via an antenna when the some of the number of the RFID tags are in a determined area around the RFID reader. The control module activates the warning unit when a radio-frequency signal from at least one of the number of RFID tags is not received by the RFID reader. | 02-17-2011 |
| 20110043324 | LOCKING SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR ELECTRONIC DEVICE - A locking system includes a radio frequency identification (RFID) tag encoded with a first code, an antenna, an RFID reader, a storage unit storing a second code, and a microprocessor. The RFID reader receives a radio-frequency signal emitted from the RFID tag via the antenna. The radio-frequency signal includes identification of the first code. The microprocessor compares the first code and the second code, and locks an electronic device when the first code does not match the second code. | 02-24-2011 |
| 20110043520 | GARMENT FITTING SYSTEM AND OPERATING METHOD THEREOF - A garment fitting system comprises a database module, a fitting module, a display module, and a model module. The database module is configured for storing garment information, the fitting module is configured for selecting garment images from the database module, and the display module is configured for displaying the result of garment images applied to a model. | 02-24-2011 |
| 20110045722 | FLOTATION DEVICE - A flotation device includes a hollow body, a container attached to the hollow body and comprising a nozzle extending into the hollow body, and a latching member formed at the hollow body to attach the hollow body to an object requiring flotation. The hollow body and the container respectively contain two chemical materials, such that when the container is pressed, it ejects material therefrom via the nozzle into the hollow body, whereby the material from the container reacts with the material in the hollow body to produce a gas to inflate the hollow body. | 02-24-2011 |
| 20110050415 | FOOD STORAGE CONTAINER - A food storage container comprises a body for containing food, a cap, and an alarm module provided on one side of the body. The alarm module comprises a switch, a control unit to set an expiration date, a timing unit to show a present date and a present hour and to time, a buzzer, and a processing unit to obtain a time period difference between the present date and the expiration date. The body and the cap provide air-tight effect of food. When a time duration between the present date and the expiration date is smaller than a predetermined value, the buzzer will sound and issue notification that the food inside the container will be expired. | 03-03-2011 |
| 20110098060 | WIRELESS DIRECTION SYSTEM AND METHOD - A wireless direction system provides service information. A comparison module logs onto a data server via a base station by wireless internet access, and outputs service information corresponding to location coordinates of a portable device in response to the data server storing the service information. A service information processing module receives the service information and provides it to users. | 04-28-2011 |
| 20110100790 | BUTTON - A button includes a keycap made of transparent material and including a first side surface and a second side surface opposite to the first side surface, a light guide block set on the first side surface of the keycap, and an ultraviolet lighting element set on the first side surface to emit ultraviolet light. Ultraviolet light emitted by the ultraviolet lighting element may enter into the light guide block, then is reflected by the light guide block to pass through the keycap to arrive to the second side surface of the keycap. | 05-05-2011 |
| 20110161819 | VIDEO SEARCH SYSTEM AND DEVICE - A video search device is provided to quickly obtain desired video segments. A video search system of the video search device sequentially reads an audio file and a video file from first predetermined time, and determines whether an intensity of audio signals of the audio file is greater than a predetermined value. An audio signal time position of the audio file is determined to be an index time for searching a desired video segment in response so that the intensity of the audio signal is greater than the predetermined value. The video search system selects a segment of videos of the video file as the desired video segment during a period of second predetermined time based on the index time of the audio file, and stores the desired video segment. | 06-30-2011 |
