Abstract: A heat pipe is provided. The heat pipe includes a body, a first capillary structure, and a second capillary structure. The body has a hollow structure. The first capillary structure is disposed inside the body, extends in an axial direction of the body, and has a 3D structure. The second capillary structure surrounds the first capillary structure, is attached to a pipe wall of the body, and has a 2D structure. The first and second capillary structures are bonded together outside the body, and then they are disposed inside the hollow structure. The second capillary structure has an opening, from which the first capillary structure is exposed. The exposed portion of the first capillary structure is in contact with the pipe wall.

Abstract: A method and system for optimizing use of computer resources in performing multiple automobile transactions for multiple customers which initially preloads a plurality of storage units with inventory data and lender constraints. Input in the form of a customer request is received from at least one customer. The method computes an operational metric whether to adjust the number of storage units to an optimized number of storage units including at least one available storage unit. The method sends a command to adjust the number of storage units to the optimized number of storage units based on the computing step. Each storage unit added is automatically loaded with the inventory data and lender constraints.

Abstract: The disclosure provides a button-press detection and filtering method, related circuit, and button-press detection chip for a external device. A button-press signal from a wire control apparatus is coupled to the button-press detection chip for the external device. The button-press detection chip for the external device can digitally sample the button-press signal through the filter circuit and outputs a digital logic signal corresponding to a button to an audio codec according to the sampling result. The audio codec can determine a pressed button according to the digital logic signal and performs a corresponding function. With the solutions of the disclosure, a noise interference signal in a button-press signal may be avoided and a pressed button may be accurately detected, without using a dedicated chip or complex software codes in a wire control apparatus and an electronic device.

Abstract: A method of routing a data packet in a communication system includes receiving a data packet at a first communication party operating in accordance with a first protocol. The method also includes adding a header to the data packet to produce modified data packet, the header including an identifier identifying the first protocol, first protocol information, an identifier identifying a second protocol, and second protocol information, and then sending the modified data packet to a second communication party operating in accordance with the second protocol through a first connection.
