  • Publication number: 20120158997
    Abstract: A network system and a method of address resolution are provided. The network system includes a network, a plurality of virtual machines, a routing module and a path directory module. Each virtual machine includes an internet protocol (IP) address and N media access control (MAC) addresses, so as to connect the network through N transmission routes. The routing module detects and calculates states of the transmission routes. The path directory module receives and decodes an address resolution protocol (ARP) request presented by at least one source virtual machine to reply path information, which includes N MAC addresses corresponding to an IP address of a destination virtual machine and states of the N transmission routes. Thus, the virtual machines present the ARP request without broadcast, so that the problem of network congestion is solved.

  • Publication number: 20120021696
    Abstract: A data card includes a main chip, a switch, and an input/output interface. The input/output interface receives a voltage signal and a control signal, and transmits the voltage signal and the control signal to the switch. When the control signal is a first control signal, the switch switches on, and the voltage signal is transmitted to the main chip via the switch, causing the main chip to enable a universal serial bus (USB) function of the data card. When the control signal is a second signal, the switch switches off, and no voltage signal is supplied to the main chip, causing the main chip to disable the USB function.

  • Publication number: 20110112439
    Abstract: A rotational safety syringe includes front and rear barrels rotatable with respect to each other for moving a needle holder towards the rear barrel and compressing a spring to separate a protective cover. The needle holder is fixed by an elastic press button on the needle holder and a press opening on the rear barrel. After a through hole of the front barrel is aligned with a using position, the elastic press button can be pressed to release the needle holder, and the spring can eject the needle holder towards the through hole of the front barrel to extend the needle out from the through hole of the front barrel and pierce the needle into the using position. When the spring is released, the needle holder and needle are pulled back to hide the needle into the front and rear barrels to prevent the used needle from being touched.

  • Publication number: 20110095588
    Abstract: A two-stage adjusting member for adjusting slope of a seat back formed by a first stage adjusting member and a second stage adjusting member is disclosed. A user operates the first stage adjusting member so that the seat back reclines from 90 degrees to 70 degrees to the horizontal. Then the users operates the second stage adjusting member so as to make the seat back further incline backward such as 10 degrees more to another slope. Thus the seat back slope is adjusted in two stages and such design is much more safer for users and can prevent danger or harm caused by suddenly reclining.

  • Publication number: 20110094014
    Abstract: The present invention is a cap with perspective interlayer space including a cap body-having an exterior surface and a wearing space, an interlayer space arranged onto a local region of the exterior surface of the cap body formed by an internal and external rim, an opening at one end of the interlayer space, and a perspective portion arranged onto global or local region of the external rim of the interlayer space. With the perspective portion, the users can visualize the interior of the interlayer space. The interlayer space is particularly suitable for accommodating advertising, promotional, decorative and identifiable articles. These articles can be easily taken out from the opening, so the users can, where necessary, freely take out the articles from or place them into the interlayer space. The interlayer space can also be used for accommodating small articles for easy identification, realizing ease-of-use with improved applicability.

  • Publication number: 20110089738
    Abstract: A headrest set for office chairs includes a bracket whose lower end is fastened on a rear side of a seat back while a top end of the bracket connects with and supports a backside plate of the headrest, a headrest, and an elastic buffering member arranged between the backside plate of the headrest and the top end of the bracket. By deformation of an elastic member, the headrest set has buffering effects. When the user's head suddenly leans against a headrest surface or the user changes the posture from sitting to reclining, the impact caused by the reaction force of the headrest surface is buffered and the headrest surface is automatically adjusted so as to enhance comfort of the headrest.
