Abstract: A hanging type earphone with a hinge unit includes an earphone body, a hang member and a hinge unit. The earphone body has a connecting base defining a receiving space. The hinge unit received in the receiving space includes a positioning base, an axis cover and a pivotal axis having a mating portion whose cross-section is a polygon. The axis cover presses against the positioning base to form a pivotal space, one end of the pivotal axis is fixed in the hang member and the other end passes through the pivotal space, the mating portion mates with the side walls of the axis cover, thereby, the earphone body is positioned after rotating relatively to the hang member. Moreover, the pivot axis can be pulled out from the pivotal hole and then inserted into the pivotal space from the opposite direction, so the hanging type earphone can be hung on either ear of the user.

Abstract: Separate file servers are located in different geographic areas to serve users in each area. A centralized system manager with communication links to the file servers and users controls documents stored in the file servers. The system manager must approve each request by a user to download a document from a local file server. If the requested document is not stored at the local file server, the system manager will cause the requested document to be transferred from another file server to the local file server for access by the user. Documents being accessed by users are locked thereby denying access to other users until the current access by another user of the sought document is terminated.
