Abstract: A method for constituting bootstrap hotkeys comprises a step (11) for identifying a predetermined keyboard and a step (13) for booting hotkey functions. The step (11) further comprises: a step (110) for executing hotkey's bootstrap codes and transferring a keyboard-identification means to a keyboard when a computer is booted; a step (112) for transmitting a keyboard-confirmation means from the keyboard to the host computer in response to the keyboard-identification means; and a step (114) for recognizing the keyboard-confirmation means in light of the hotkey's bootstrap codes; followed by the activation of the hotkey function or, if fails, by terminating the hotkey's bootstrap codes.

Abstract: An electrochemical reactor and process for electrolyzing a substance to change at least a portion of the substance from a first state to a second state. The reactor comprises a tubular body having a first end portion defining an opening and a second end portion defining an electrolysis chamber. The electrolysis chamber includes a well adapted to hold the substance and at least two electrodes for electrolyzing the substance in the well. The volume of the well is less than about 3 milliliters. The reactor further comprises a coupling for releasably and sealingly connecting the reactor body to an auxiliary device body. The coupling is adapted to provide a vacuum tight seal between the reactor body and the auxiliary device and to allow the reactor body to rotate about an axis of rotation independent of the auxiliary device while the reactor body is sealingly connected to the auxiliary device.

Abstract: A wireless multiplexing computer network system includes a central receiver and a number of transmitters coupled to the central receiver in a wireless manner. The central receiver is connected to a host computer and selectively peripheral device. Each transmitter transmits a wireless transmission signal to the central receiver. The wireless transmission signal includes a security identification code for preventing transmission data error and suppressing noise, a classification identification code for determining if the signal is eventually transmitted to the peripheral device or the host computer, a function identification code for identifying the function or operation to be executed in the host computer or the peripheral device and a source identification code for identifying the particular transmitter from which the transmission is made.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a transmission method of wireless virtual channels and in particular to the data transmission between wireless host device and child devices. Both of the child device and the host device store a number of sets of family ID and security ID. The child device is the emitter and the host device is the receiver. The child device sends out a set of family ID and security ID by using at least one key or activation unit to the host device that receives and identifies the family ID and security ID. Insertion of the family ID and the security ID to each string of wireless data transmitted between the child device and the host device serves as the certification purpose so that one or multiple data transmission channels can be virtually created.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a method for constituting a multiple-key-code of compound keys used as compound key-function keys on a keyboard of a computer. The keyboard has a memory and a microprocessor and the computer has a memory. Both of the memories store a number of pre-established matching key-code tables for selection. When any item on the key function selection manual provided by the computer is selected, the computer will issue a specific key code switch signal to the microprocessor of the keyboard, in order to activate a corresponding key code table, by which a desired setting of key functions can be properly implemented.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a method for constituting multifunctional keys installed in keyboards of electronic devices from which the signals for opening a multi-option function-selection pull-down manual on the screen of a monitor or any display panels can be issued. When the multifunctional key or an activation unit is presses down, the microprocessor of the keyboard will send out a signal to the host device. The host device then opens a corresponding multi-option function-selection pull-down manual and the multi-option function-selection pull-down manual is then displayed on the screen for the selecting of the user, so that the host device executes the selected function.

Abstract: A system and method for detecting corrosion in elongate conductive members. The importance of the present invention is that it utilizes the full electromagnetic wave field equations that oppose the traditional approach to electromagnetics, they are quasi-static dealing with a diffusion field. The inclusion of this propagation term in the development of the present invention completely separates the present techniques from those of Spies and Lara, as well as others. Surface corrosion on pipe changes the electromagnetic physical properties of pipe where the corrosion exists. Electromagnetic waves propagating through a pipe will be affected by these localized changes in the electromagnetic physical properties of the pipe. Electromagnetic pulses are created that cause electromagnetic waves to propagate from a first location to a second location on the pipe.
