Abstract: A differential temperature sensor system and method of determining a temperature shift of an optical resonator and its surroundings are provided. The differential temperature sensor system includes a light generating device capable of generating a beam having a carrier frequency, a modulator capable of modulating the beam with a sideband frequency, and an optical resonator capable of supporting an ordinary mode and an extraordinary mode. The system includes an ordinary mode-lock setup capable of locking the carrier frequency of the beam to the ordinary mode of the optical resonator and an extraordinary mode-lock setup capable of locking the sideband frequency of the beam to the extraordinary mode of the optical resonator by providing a specific radio frequency to the modulator substantially corresponding to a frequency shift between the ordinary mode and the extraordinary mode of the optical resonator resulting from a temperature change of the optical resonator.

Abstract: A portable document holder for use with an electronic device includes a supporting body, a first retractable mechanism, a holder body and a second retractable mechanism. The first retractable mechanism is connected to the supporting body and movable forwardly or backwardly in a first horizontal direction. The holder body has a bottom pivotally coupled to the supporting body such that the holder body is rotatable in either a clockwise or anti-clockwise direction and a shooting angle is defined between the holder body and a lens module of the electronic device. The second retractable mechanism includes an extension arm coupled to an upper edge of the holder body and two extension arms disposed at bilateral sides of the holder body. A holding space of the holder body is expanded in a vertical direction and/or a second horizontal direction when the extension arms are extended.

Abstract: Techniques and devices based on transverse magnetic (TM) and transverse electric (TE) modes in an optical resonator or interferometer to provide sensitive optical detection with insensitivity to a change in temperature.

Abstract: A coaxial connector includes a housing having a base portion and a tubular portion underneath the base portion. A passageway is defined in both the base portion and the tubular portion. An accommodation space is defined in the base portion and communicates with the passageway. A terminal is received in the passageway and the accommodation space and is connected physically and electrically to an inner conductor of a coaxial cable. A shell includes a sleeve portion accommodating the base portion and the tubular portion of the housing and an outer cover portion. Two arms extend from two sides of an upper portion of the sleeve portion. Each of the arms defines a hook at a tip thereof. The outer cover portion defines two retaining grooves at two sides thereof for holding the two hooks when the shell holds the coaxial cable.

Abstract: Files of various file formats are converted into markup language files, such as HTML files or XML-based files, and a compound web document is generated from the markup language files so that the compound web document may be displayed using a web browser, such as Internet Explorer. Files of the above-mentioned file formats may include a PowerPoint file (*.ppt), a Word file (*.doc), an Excel file (*.xls), a single packaged web page (*.mht), and an image file (*.bmp, *.jpg, *.gif, *.png). Thus the compound web document may be retrieved without linking any other files.

Abstract: A multi-stage adjustable spring resistant belly massager comprises a belly massaging pad, a push-pull rod, a resistance adjusting mechanism and two handle grips. The belly massaging pad rests on the human belly, the push-pull rod is mounted in a barrel to perform the up and down movement, the resistance adjusting mechanism surrounds the push-pull rod and the handle grips are for the player to practice the push-pull exercise on the belly. The resistance adjusting mechanism is composed of a plurality of pulling guides, spring straps, a top decorative cover and a lock ring. The player operates the handle grips to carry out the up and down movement on the belly in one way and rotates the push-pull rod around the belly in other way to accomplish the weight reduction and fat removal in the belly.

Abstract: A system and method of automatically transforming instant message transmission modes on the Internet is disclosed. The transformation system is applied to a Java-based instant messenger and could be automatically transformed to four transmission modes in accordance with different network environments. The four transmission modes include the socket mode (i.e. direct connection through socket), HTTP 1.1 mode (i.e. connection through a proxy server and a firewall that both support HTTP 1.1), HTTP 1.0 mode (i.e. connection through a proxy server and a firewall that both support HTTP 1.0) and a pure-HTML mode (i.e. without JAVA applet).

Abstract: A web-based editing system of compound documents suitable for web browsing and the method thereof are disclosed. By using the web-based editing system, different kinds of files may be uploaded to a web folder and then transformed into several HTML files and XML-based files for viewing in a web browser (for instance, Internet Explorer). The above-mentioned different kinds of files include *.ppt (PowerPoint files), *.doc (Word files), *.xls (Excel files), .mht (packaged web files) and image files (*.bmp, *.jpg, *.gif, *.png).
