  • Publication number: 20150350303
    Abstract: A platform and method for optimizing manufacturing comprising a service box, an application server, an agent server, and a cloud server. The service box is coupled to sensors on a production machine. The service box receives appropriate data from the sensors and transfers the data to the cloud server in real-time. The agent server comprises a plurality of analysis tools and management tools that have been developed by and downloaded from the application server. The analysis tools and management tools comprise applications that analyze sensor data and produce effective results to manage production efficiency and maximize overall equipment effectiveness. The cloud server utilizes the analysis tools and management tools available on the agent server or available directly on the cloud server with the sensor data received in real-time from the service box to obtain results. The analysis results are provided to a client device by the cloud server.

  • Publication number: 20090055485
    Abstract: An anonymous instant messaging system that protects a user's identity and location while allowing numerous users to communicate without being acquainted is disclosed. To request information a user selects a geographical location and relevant topic. The user then sends the information request to a message bot via an instant messenger client. A user geographic and topic matching system provides an active matching users list to the message bot. The message bot then sends the information request message to all of the matching users. The matching users receive and read the information request from the message bot. If a user chooses to reply to the message, the user sends their response to the message bot. The user geographic and topic matching system gives the original question issuer's instant messenger identification to the message bot. The message bot passes the reply to the information request to the original question issuer.

  • Patent number: 7433725
    Abstract: A monopole antenna apparatus with dual purposes of being a multi-band mobile phone and a global positioning system. The antenna is formed on a substrate, and the substrate comprises a flat surface, a cambered surface, a first radiating metal line, including one high-frequency resonant path and one low-frequency resonant path, a second radiating metal line, a first feeding point, and a second feeding point. The high-frequency resonant path and the low-frequency resonant path for receiving and transmitting the signals of the multi-band mobile phone system are formed on the flat surface and the cambered surface separately, and both are connected to the first feeding point. The second radiating metal line for receiving the signals of the global positioning system is formed on the cambered surface and is connected to the second feeding point.

  • Publication number: 20080195715
    Abstract: A system and a method for asynchronously electronic messages exchanging are disclosed. The system includes a server and more than one clients. Each client has a geographic parameter generator and a message transmitter. The geographic parameter generator is configured to generate a geographic parameter. The message transmitter is configured to transmit the electronic message including a content body and the geographic parameter. The server is composed of a receiver, a database, a matching unit, and a processor. The receiver is configured to receive the electronic message from the clients. The database is used to store the received electronic message. The matching unit compares the geographic parameter of the received message to other existing electronic messages stored in the database according to a set of preset matching rules. A matching list is generated if the match is determined. The processor interacts with at least one of the clients in the matching list.
