  • Patent number: 8675821
    Abstract: A network audio testing system and a network audio testing method thereof for testing the performance of a network communication system during communication are disclosed. The system includes a processing system and a sound simulation device. The processing system is for generating a near-end simulation signal and a far-end simulation signal. The sound simulation device is for receiving and making a near-end simulation sound. The near-end simulation sound is received by a microphone of the network communication system to generate a first test signal. The processing system further simultaneously makes the sound simulation device sounding the near-end simulation sound and a speaker sounding a far-end simulation sound to obtain a second test signal. The processing system compares the first and the second test signal to obtain an attenuation degree of the near-end simulation signal and a residual energy of the far-end simulation signal.

  • Patent number: 8641271
    Abstract: A method for testing heat pipes includes the following steps. A plurality of bar-shaped heat pipes having the same size is provided, and the heat pipes are deformed. The deformed heat pipes are placed in a temperature regulator, such that a temperature of the heat pipes is periodically changed between a first temperature and a second temperature. The heat pipes are then taken out of the temperature regulator. One end of each heat pipe is maintained at a third temperature by a thermostatic device, and a heat pipe temperature difference of two opposite ends of the heat pipe is measured. The heat pipes having the heat pipe temperature difference greater than a standard temperature difference in the heat pipes are marked.
