Abstract: A textile with transparent light structure and heat-insulating construction and the method of manufacturing the same comprise a surface layer and an underlying layers the underlying layer and the surface layer have air layers and high shrinkage-rate yarns therein, and include non-transparent weft yarns and transparent yarns. By controlling the non-transparent yarn and the transparent yarn, the transparent light property can be obtained. Further, through the heat treatment, the multiple high shrinkage-percentage yarns thereto contract to make the surface layer and the underlying layer individually protruded. The air layers are just the heat insulating factor of the textile.

The computer system keeps running application programs when it turns the processing rate and the voltage of the central processor unit down (e.g. enter to the sleep mode). When the internet phone or a traditional telephone has an incoming call, the computer would be waked up immediately to prevent missing any incoming call from the internet phone or the traditional telephone.

Abstract: A computer integrated with traditional telephone and VoIP includes a network module, a south bridge chip and a telecom adapter module. The network module is connected to the Internet for providing an Internet connection function to enable the computer to make or receive a VoIP call. The south bridge chip is connected to the network module. The telecom adapter module includes a first telecom port for connecting to a traditional phone, a second telecom port for connecting to a PSTN, and a connection interface. The telecom adapter module is connected to the south bridge chip via the connection interface to thereby enable the traditional phone to make or answer a VoIP call via the telecom adapter module, the south bridge and the network module.

Abstract: The invention relates to an umbrella with a connected receiver, which includes a cover connecting with an upper joint of the umbrella centrally. A soft receiver, which can be a tubular elastic body, is connected on the upper joint for receiving the closed umbrella. Hence, the umbrella has a clean and clear outlook when it is closed and not in use.

Abstract: A method of positioning by using image uses an image-collecting device with a known angle of view to gain a digital image. A pixel matrix of the digital image is defined as the known angle of view and a gap between every two adjacent pixels of each horizontal line and each longitudinal line is an equally divided angle of the known angle. A displaying objective is shown on an image sensor and has a datum point of computing of a position angle. A camera lens has a principal axis directing to the datum point such that a calculating unit can compute an angle formed between the displaying objective and the principal axis.

Abstract: A textile with transparent light structure and heat-insulating construction and the method of manufacturing the same comprise a surface layer and an underlying layer, and the weft yarns of the underlying layer and the surface layer include non-transparent weft yarns and transparent yarns. By controlling the arrangement and ratio of the non-transparent yarn and the transparent yarn, the transparent light property can be obtained. Further, between the underlying layer and the surface layer, there are a multiple of high shrinkage-rate yarns included. Through the heat treatment, it would cause the contraction of the multiple high shrinkage-percentage yarns thereto make the surface layer and the underlying layer individually protrude like a three-dimensional structure. Besides, because of the different shrinkage rates, the thickness of the air layer of the underlying layer, the surface layer and the multiple high shrinkage-percentage yarns would also vary.

Abstract: A sole having high elasticity for a cushion-type shoe is provided. A plurality of elastic and vented buffer tubes are arranged on a top of the sole to be slightly raised from the sole and thereby form a wave-shaped top surface for the sole to massage a wearer's foot when the wearer walks. A duct having an inner part in the form of a communicating pipe for connecting to open ends of the buffer tubes and an outer part directed toward an outside of the sole. When the buffer tubes are compressed and squeezed, air in the buffer tubes are discharged via the duct; and when the buffer tubes are released from any pressure, they automatically recover from the compressed state and air outside the sole is sucked into the buffer tubes via the duct. Therefore, the buffer tubes provide the sole not only with good buffer and shock absorption ability but also excellent elasticity and bounce.
