  • Patent number: 8374975
    Abstract: A server device receives a comment associated with a first document, where the comment provides an opinion of, or remarks upon, a content of the first document. The server device obtains document clustering information which indicates that the first document is clustered with one or more second documents and stores, in a memory associated with the server device, the comment in association with the first document and the one or more second documents. The server device presents the comment in connection with the first document or one of the one or more second documents when the first document or the one of the one or more second documents is accessed by a user.

  • Patent number: 7593779
    Abstract: A control device with two processors includes: a circuit substrate; a first central processing unit disposed on the circuit substrate to receive a control signal for controlling the operation of a first device; a second central processing unit disposed on the circuit substrate to receive a control signal for controlling the operation of a second device; and a first communication circuit disposed between the first central processing unit and the second central processing unit for providing communications between them. The first central processing unit further processes the kernel control software and peripheral software of the first device and the peripheral software of an air conditioner. The second central processing unit further processes the peripheral software of the first device and the peripheral software of the first device in order to respectively control the operations of the first and second devices.

  • Publication number: 20050279437
    Abstract: The present invention relates to an improved tire structure, the method of producing the tire in accordance with the present invention is explained as follows: initially the inner tire is semi-vulcanized (roughly shaped) and then installed in the outer tire as an inner mold of the tire, after that, the inner tire is vulcanized synchronously with the outer tire (heating, pressurizing and blowing). Through the above-mentioned processes, the outer surface of the inner tire is tightly combined with the inner surface of the outer tire. The inner tire and the outer tire can be possessed with strong combining power and strength since they are made from the same material, so as to produce a new style air free tire.

  • Publication number: 20040177908
    Abstract: A tire assembly of the present invention is specially for off-road racing motorcycle or bicycle, wherein an inner tube and a sub-inner tube are defined between an outer tire and a wheel rim, the inner tube is inflated at normal pressure while a space between the outer tire and the sub-inner tube is inflated with the pressure applicable to racing purpose, such that, in case of running in low pressure, two annular lips of the outer tire will not fall off the wheel rim while it encounter a great impact, as a result, it prevent the inner tube from being squeezed to leak by the outer tire and the wheel rim and the broken of the cord fabric of the outer tire.
