Abstract: A fixing device for an expansion card is installed on a frame of a desktop computer to fix an expansion card on the desktop computer. The fixing device includes at least two installation bases. After adjusting an interval between the installation bases, the installation bases are fixed to an opening of the frame by locking members. Each of the installation bases is provided with an installing through hole, such that an installation portion at the rear end of each of two fixing rods penetrates through the installing through. The front ends of the fixing rods vertically extend to form clamping portions to clamp the expansion card. The clamping portions and the expansion card are provided with a fixing batten to stabilize the expansion card.

Abstract: A superabsorbent polymer includes polymeric particles, surface cross-linking agents and an extract of a plant of Sapindaceae. The polymeric particles have cross-linking inside the polymeric particles. The surface cross-linking agents are covalently bound to the surface of the polymeric particles so as to constitute a layer of surface cross-linked region at the surface of each polymeric particle, and the extract of the plant of Sapindaceae covers the surface of the polymeric particles.

Abstract: A superabsorbent polymer includes polymer particles, surface cross-linking agents and particles made of silicon-containing inorganic salt. The polymer particles have cross-linking inside the polymer particles. The surface cross-linking agents are covalently bound to the surface of the polymer particles so as to constitute a surface cross-linked region at the surface of each said resin particle, and the particles made of silicon-containing inorganic salt cover the surface of the polymer particles.

Abstract: A client computer may be configured to perform computer security operation services, such as malicious code scanning and protection against online threats, using one of several remotely located server computers. The client computer may be configured to determine an operational state of the server computers and determine a protection status of the client computer resulting from use of a server computer of a particular operational state. The protection status may have one of at least three levels and indicate vulnerability of the client computer. The client computer may determine the operational state of a server computer based on available bandwidth for network communication between the client computer and the server computer. The client computer may be configured to allow for automatic or manual selection of another server computer when the currently selected server computer results in the client computer having a protection status below a threshold level.

Abstract: Disclosed is a method and a system for automatically managing probe mark shifts. A determination is made from test data as to whether a die on a wafer is defective. A probe mark check on the wafer is made to determine whether a probe mark is shifted. Necessary recovery action is performed in response to the probe mark being shifted. In the probe mark check, a plurality of probe mark positions are selected from the test data. A determination is then made as to whether at least one of the plurality of probe mark positions violates an engineering rule.

Abstract: A fan assembly that can be used as a cooling fan or an air circulator. The fan assembly can provide the cooling and air circulation functions simultaneously or separately. The intensity of the cooling and/or air circulation can be individually controlled and directed. The fan assembly includes a base unit, a mounting frame rotatably coupled to the base unit, and a plurality of blower housings, each enclosing a fan and coupled to the mounting frame. The mounting frame is rotatable about an axis parallel to the support plane of the base. At least one of the blower housings is rotatably mounted to the mounting frame. The position of the blower housings can be adjusted through the manipulation of a positioning handle that is coupled to the rotatable blower housing.

Abstract: A combined accelerating/braking apparatus of a vehicle includes a substantially hook-shaped rod which includes a first end, a first elbow, a second elbow, a third elbow, a fourth elbow, and a second end, where the fourth elbow is pivotally connected to a wall in the vehicle. A pedal is pivotally connected to the first elbow of the hook-shaped rod. A bracket which is secured to a wall of the vehicle includes a slot for detachable receiving the second elbow of the hook-shaped rod. A first torsion spring is biased between the pedal and a rod portion between the first elbow and the second elbow of the hook-shaped rod for providing a recovery tension when the pedal is pivotally depressed by a driver's foot sole with respect to the first elbow of the hook-shaped rod.

Abstract: Disclosed is a rack pair for mounting speakers and system board in a monitor of a computer system being mounted behind a front frame of the monitor at two lower or upper corners thereof so that a distance left between the rack pair is substantially equal to a width of a system board disposed inside the monitor. The rack pair are characterized in that the rack each is formed at an inner side with a longitudinal groove which has a width slightly larger than a thickness of the system board to clamp the system board between the rack pair, that the rack each is provided with a connecting device extending toward a display tube in the monitor to connect a speaker cabinet member, and that a locater is provided at a lower portion of each rack for engaging with a fixing device provided behind the front frame of the monitor so that the rack pair for mounting speakers and system board can be firmly mounted in the monitor for the speakers to be mounted in the monitor together with the system board.
