Abstract: An automatic network monitor system is proposed, including a management center and a database system. The management center is at least provided with a host that is installed with management software, allowing the management center to be connected to at least an apparatus via a network. The management system is capable of automatically reading data from the apparatus periodically, and the read data are stored in the database system. By assessing the data with corresponding management rules defined in the management software, the management center is adapted to send a warming signal or to perform a maintenance control process for managing the apparatus in real time. The data stored in the database system can be utilized as reference for subsequent inquiry, statistics, analysis and maintenance.

Abstract: A system for operating a workflow and a method applied to the system are proposed, so as to conduct an electronic workflow for an enterprise based on a server/client architecture in a intranet or internet environment. A terminal device of the system allows a user at the terminal device to submit a request for inquiring, browsing, issuing or reading a document, which is transmitted a network server for initiating a service server, so as to process the request and transmit the processed result through the network server to the user. The foregoing system and method can substitute for a conventional system in manual processing and is a powerful tool to fulfill the objectives for an enterprise in promoting the working efficiency and reducing the management cost.

Abstract: A method for integrally forming and manufacturing an one-piece forged hollow crank of a bicycle includes the following steps: (a) forging and molding a leading edge of a crank; (b) extruding a crank body; (c) forging and possibly sealing a rear end of the crank body; and (d) cutting and piercing the rear end of the crank body so as to form a hollow crank of a bicycle. In such a manner, the hollow crank can be integrally forged and molded quickly by fewer manufacturing steps than that of the conventional method. In addition, the product surface of the hollow crank is finished to have a fine and pretty appearance so that it is not easy to produce a defective product, thereby enhancing the aesthetics and quality and saving the manufacturing cost of hollow crank. Further, better aluminum alloys can be used with this method than can be used with the prior art casting or welding methods.
