  • Publication number: 20160209229
    Abstract: A system includes a GPS module, user interface module, database and routing engine. To find nearby POIs in one embodiment the routing engine identifies POIs in the database located within a threshold distance from the planned route in Euclidean distance. The routing engine filters the results by exploring the road network to determine whether each of the POIs is within the threshold distance of the route in driving distance. The filtering may include exploring outward from the POI, until all roads within the threshold distance are explored or the route is reached; alternatively, distance to the POIs is checked by exploring outward from the route until all roads within the threshold distance of the route have been exposed. For those POIs reached in the exploration, the nearest point on the route and the distance to that point are known. Similar searches are performed based on driving time rather than distance.

  • Patent number: 9326419
    Abstract: A heat dissipation system in a box type chassis of a communication device includes an upper heat dissipation channel and a lower heat dissipation channel, which both have an air exhaust vent and an air intake vent, the air intake vent and the air exhaust vent of the upper heat dissipation channel and the lower heat dissipation channel are defined on sidewalls of the box type chassis, and the air intake vent of the upper heat dissipation channel is located above the air exhaust vent of the lower heat dissipation channel. An air baffle is arranged in the box type chassis to generate a circulative airflow in the box type chassis, and therefore, heat dissipated by a circuit board is circulated in the box type chassis through the airflow, the temperature in the box type chassis reaches an extent that prevents vapor from condensing or even becoming a water film.

  • Publication number: 20160102394
    Abstract: A method for preparing a grounding substrate for a semiconductor device, the method including: 1) polishing the surface of a matrix of a grounding substrate to remove a carbon layer therefrom, and washing the surface of the matrix with anhydrous ethanol; 2) providing a cold spray system including a spraying device, a spray chamber, and a special fixture disposed in the spray chamber; and disposing the matrix on the special fixture; 3) using the cold spray system to spray a compressed gas carrying aluminum powder on the surface of the matrix at the supersonic speed to form an aluminum coating, thus obtaining the grounding substrate; 4) disposing the grounding substrate in a heat treatment furnace, raising the temperature therein to between 100 and 500° C., and maintaining the temperature for between 1 and 5 hrs; and 5) wet polishing the grounding substrate.

  • Publication number: 20160048832
    Abstract: Methods and systems for facilitating online transactions are disclosed. One method includes supplying content for display in a frame of a website, the website hosted by a third-party. The method also includes receiving transaction information from the third-party, and returning a token to the frame, the token including state information based on the transaction information. The method further includes passing the token from the frame to the third-party. The method optionally also includes receiving the token from the third-party and transferring funds from a first account to a second account based on the transaction information and the state information.

  • Publication number: 20150377642
    Abstract: A routing module identifies POIs that can be reached from a route with a cost less than distance m. A routing engine performs a reverse exploration on nodes in the planned route to locate POIs from which the route can be reached with a cost of less than a second cost n. POIs identified as being reachable from the route with a cost of less than m, and from which the route is reachable with a cost less than n are then further filtered to identify a subset of the POIs for which the sum of the time or distance from the route to the POI and the time or distance from the POI back to the route is less than a threshold time or distance, t.
