Abstract: A switchable water-saving valve including a water inlet substrate formed as an annular body which has a housing and a water inlet portion. The water inlet portion is fixedly arranged within the housing and has a water inlet and a water outlet extending therethrough. A flow channel substrate is fixedly arranged within the housing below the water inlet portion. Guide holes are formed circumferentially at intervals on the flow channel substrate and extend therethrough and are in fluid communication with the water outlet. A switch holder is rotatably positioned below the flow channel substrate. First and second pluralities of water flow holes are arranged circumferentially in the top surface of the switch holder and penetrate the top surface. Water outlet holes are formed on the bottom surface of an aerator holder and are in fluid communication with the first water flow holes.

Abstract: A multi-directional touch valve has a valve unit and a press unit. The valve unit has a housing, a main flow channel, and a switching unit. The housing has a shoulder portion being adjacent to an outlet end of the housing. The switching unit is mounted in the housing and selectively blocks the main flow channel. The press unit is connected with the valve unit and has a passing portion, a hanging portion, and an abutting portion. The hanging portion is movably held on the shoulder portion and has an inner edge spaced from an outer surface of the housing and a space formed in a side of the at least one hanging portion facing the passing portion. The press unit can be pressed from any of axial direction, transversal directions, and oblique directions to switch the switching unit.

Abstract: A method for managing periodic packets, a server and a network equipment are provided. The method includes the steps of receiving at least one transmission parameter of a plurality of periodic packets, determining at least one time sequence for rearranging and transmitting the periodic packets according to the at least one transmission parameter, transmitting the at least one time sequence, and receiving and disassembling the periodic packets already rearranged and transmitted according to the at least one time sequence.

Abstract: An auto-configuration server (ACS) and a management method of customer premises equipments (CPEs) thereof are provided, and the ACS includes a sub server communication module and a group management module. When an online message is received from a new CPE, the management method includes performing an extension procedure including the following steps. A health value of the ACS is calculated. When the health value of the ACS is less than or equal to a health threshold, a new group and a sub server corresponding to the new group are added and the new CPE is managed by the sub server corresponding to the new group.

Abstract: A self-closing water-saving valve assembly has a casing, a seat, a pushing rod, a closing member and a stand. When said valve assembly is switched off, the closing member and the stand slow down the closing movement into a gradual manner, which can effectively reduce positive and negative pressure waves generated in the water pipe. Noises and damage to the water pipe are also prevented. Besides, the pushing rod is moved down by gravity and slight water pushing, which eliminates the problems of wear and speeded-up movement of the pushing rod. Therefore, the valve assembly has prolonged lifespan. In addition, the water pressure is not directly applied on the pushing rod and only slight water pushes the pushing rod such that it is easier for a user to push the pushing rod to switch on the valve assembly.

Abstract: A method of forming a gate structure. A substrate having thereon at least one stacked gate is provided. The stacked gate has a gate insulating layer, a polysilicon layer, a silicate layer, and a cap layer. A sacrificial layer is deposited on the substrate, and etched backed to expose the cap layer and an upper portion of the silicate layer. Then, the exposed silicate layer is partially removed to form a recess. The recess is filled with silicon nitride. Finally, a spacer is formed on walls of the stacked gate.
