  • Patent number: 9947563
    Abstract: A wafer container is provided. The wafer container includes a housing, a door and an air-tight device. The housing has a room with an opening formed therein, and a door frame surrounding the opening. The door fits in the door frame to close the opening. The air-tight device is disposed around the door, located between the door and the door frame, and having a protruding part extending toward the room. The protruding part has an early-stage pressure-adjusting element configured to exhaust a first gas from the room by pumping a second gas into the room when the door is closed.

  • Patent number: 9899246
    Abstract: The present invention relates to gas distributors used in wafer carriers. The gas distributors comprise a body having an interior space, a separator configured at the front side of the body in the interior space, and an air inlet connected with the body. One edge of the separator and the front side of the body together form a passage. The configuration of the passage in the gas distributors enables the gas distributors to evenly distribute gases.

  • Publication number: 20090052637
    Abstract: In a system and a method for storing and reading answers and records of telephone voice via Internet, the system is built among a local telephone, a network device, a public switched telephone network (PSTN), an Internet, a server and a database. The network device is connected to the local telephone, PSTN and Internet. The server is connected to the network device via the Internet. If the local telephone and the PSTN establish a telephone connection, the network device will read a phone content and transmit and save the phone content to the server. If an incoming call is not picked up by the local telephone within a predetermined time or a predetermined number of rings, the network device will read a response content pre-stored in the server and reply the call via the PSTN, and transmit and store the message content transmitted from the PSTN to the server.

  • Publication number: 20090055517
    Abstract: The present invention is to provide a method applied to at least a network device connected to a network and enabling the network device to send a request for an Internet Protocol address (IP address) to a DHCP server connected with the network according to the Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) and, in the meantime, automatically generate an IP address according to the automatic link-local IP address allocation protocol. When an IP address is first acquired according to either the DHCP or the automatic link-local IP address allocation protocol, the network device exchanges data with other network device of the same segment by using said IP address first acquired, and constantly trying to acquire another IP address according to either the DHCP or the automatic link-local IP address allocation protocol, so as to effectively reduce the time for acquiring an IP address needed by a conventional network device.
