Abstract: The present invention is related to a text identification method for opening a specific file which is edited by double-byte characters for the double-byte language systems, such as Traditional Chinese, Simplified Chinese, Japanese and Korean etc., in a DOS operating environment. The present invention search and identify the specific file by skipping the API provided by DOS to correctly open the specific file edited by double-byte characters for the double-byte language systems.

Abstract: The present invention relates to an examining method of a computer-aid test for understanding the learning performance of an examinee. The examining method of the invention gives more accurate and helpful examination and learning guidance to an examinee according to the examinee's answer record of a computer aided test. In the conventional computer-aid test, the examination of a test is given according to only the ratio of the examinee's correct answers. However, the learning performance of an examinee relates to not only the ratio of the examinee's correct answers but also the sequence of the examinee's answers of testing questions. Hence, the present invention provides a new examination method to give a more suitable guidance to examinees in computer-aid tests.

Abstract: The present invention provides a multiparty network communication system, which is constructed by connecting system users in serial. Various types of information are packed and encoded according to protocol into information packets. When information packets are transmitted within the network, the receiving party distinguishes them according to the coding to be voice or data information and forwards them to various modules at user's end for further processing. Voice information is processed by virtue of the superimposing technology that mixes the receiving information with the voice information received at user's end and forwards to other adjoining users. A multiparty voice communication is then realized. Moreover, the present invention provides methods of manipulating user's system failure so in case one user system among conference participants fails, his neighboring users will be automatically connected to allow other participants to continue the multiparty network conferencing.

Abstract: A portable computing device has a first housing, and a second housing hingedly coupled to the first housing. The second housing having an interior that stores a stylus, and which houses a stylus removal mechanism in a manner such that manipulation of the stylus removal mechanism simultaneously releases the first housing from the second housing and removes the stylus from the second housing.

Abstract: The present invention provides an extension device capable of working with a common digital telephone and providing functions of easy text input, data carrying, exchange, storage and editing. The telephone extension device includes a data exchange unit which communicates directly with a digital telephone; an electric note card (similar to a Personal Digital Assistant, PDA) which includes a display unit for showing information, and a standard computer keyboard for easy and fast character input when connecting via the data exchange unit to the digital telephone. Therefore, the extension device for digital telephone is easy for data input, easy to operate and carry, and useful for recording telephone information.

Abstract: The present invention provides a movable connector board which is mounted with interface connectors for its peripheral devices. The board prevents the user from inconvenience of connecting devices on the back of the computer. The connector board is movable to a usage position where the peripheral devices can be easily connected to or disconnected from the computer without rotating, turning or moving the computer.

Abstract: An automatic inclination device for a portable or notebook computer. It includes: (a) a base, on which an operation board is mounted; (b) a cover, pivotally connecting on an axis to a portion of the base; (c) a driving element, which is fixed to the cover and is coaxial with the axis, such that the driving element rotates when the cover is pivotally opened or closed; and (d) a driven element, engaged with the driving element to move therewith. The driven element is structured to move a stand to either come out from a cavity formed under the base near the pivotal portion so as to cause an associated portion of the base to rise up and the operation board to be in an inclined position, or retrieve into the cavity when the cover is opened and closed, respectively. In a preferred embodiment, the driving element is a ring gear the driven is a rack gear, and the stand is an extension of the rack gear.
