Abstract: Methods and apparatuses for adjusting and controlling conditions within the environment of a workpiece handling module include sensors for detecting humidity and concentration of harmful gasses. Signals generated by these sensors are utilized to generate signals that control the flow of air into the environment and/or the flow of air and gases out of the environment. By controlling the humidity, negative impacts on processes carried out in the environment are avoided. By controlling the gas concentration, exposure of workers to harmful gases is avoided.

Abstract: A method for notifying an event arising from an electronic device activates a wireless connection between the electronic device and a user-wearable device. A signal intensity of a wireless signal from the wearable device is measured and compared with multiple preset values. The method determines a signal range to which the signal intensity belongs, wherein the multiple preset values define the multiple signal intensity ranges. Notification of an event is issued in the notifying manner corresponding to the intensity range to which the signal intensity belongs.

Abstract: A swipe unlocking method depending on touch pressure as well as swiping direction includes detecting an unlocking request from a user and displaying a swipe unlocking interface on a display in response to the unlocking request; detecting touch points of continuous swipe operation operated on the swipe unlocking interface; determining whether a path of the touch points of continuous swipe operation is identical to a predetermined path and whether a touch pressure of the touch points of continuous swipe operation is identical to a predetermined rule; unlocking the electronic device when the path of the touch points of continuous swipe operation is identical to the predetermined path and the touch pressure of the touch points of continuous swipe operation is different from the predetermined rule; and otherwise remaining in a locking status. A swipe unlocking system and an electronic device are also provided.

Abstract: A method for unlocking an electronic device includes identifying a slide path according to touch signals received from a preset touch area of a touch screen of the electronic device when the electronic device is locked. Once the identified slide path is determined to include a preset slide path and passes preset discrete points, and a number of passing times of each of the preset discrete points is equal to preset number of times, the electronic device is unlocked.

Abstract: A method and system for automatically recording position information of an electronic device are provided. The method includes receiving a header notification from the electronic device; receiving a WAP query message comprising query information and position information of the electronic device; forwarding the WAP query message to a content server; and transmitting the position information of the electronic device to a corresponding GPS database so as to continuously record position information of the electronic device.

Abstract: A computing system and method for inquiring position information are provided. The system includes a push database and a portable electronic device for transmitting a query message including a keyword regarding a navigation destination to the push database. The push database conducts a search with the query message to obtain at least one search item and transmits the at least one search item to the portable electronic device. The at least one search item includes a detail address and a corresponding global positioning system (GPS) coordinate value of a specific position. The portable electronic device conducts navigation using the corresponding GPS coordinate value in response to a user selection of the at least one search item.

Abstract: A method for controlling push messages on a portable electronic device is provided. The computer-implemented method for filtering reception of push messages includes providing a pre-configured white list containing at least one IP address, receiving service indication of a push message initiated by a push initiator and forwarded by a push proxy gateway, determining if the source address contained in the service indication is on the pre-configured white list, and, if so, connecting to the push initiator to retrieve the push message.

Abstract: A PWM signal to DC voltage converting unit includes at least a switch section adapted to provide an on/off function; a driving section electrically connected to the switch section for driving the switch section to provide the on/off function; a first voltage stabilizing section electrically connected to the switch section for generating a voltage; a bridging section electrically connected to the first voltage stabilizing section for keeping the first voltage stabilizing section in one-direction transmission; a second voltage stabilizing section electrically connected to the bridging section for generating a voltage; and an electricity-storing section electrically connected to the second voltage stabilizing section, such that power transmitted by the first and the second voltage stabilizing section may be charged to or discharged from the electricity-storing element. By controlling a duty cycle of an input PWM signal, the output voltage can be adjusted.
