Abstract: A portable data accessing device and more particularly the use of multi-port interfaces on a data accessing device disclosed. The multi-port data accessing device includes an inner body, one or a plurality of moving-caps, one or a plurality of grips, a pump-action and one or a plurality of locking/releasing mechanisms.

Abstract: Provided is a polyamide foam molded body and method for manufacturing the same. The method includes performing polymerization with a monomer composition to form a polyamide terpolymer; mixing a supercritical carbon dioxide foaming agent and the polyamide terpolymer under a pressure to form a mixture; and releasing the pressure of the mixture to foam the polyamide terpolymer for forming the polyamide foam molded body. The monomer composition comprises 50 to 70 mole % of a caprolactam, 4 to 15 mole % of a polyetheramine, 4 to 15 mole % of a dicarboxylic acid and 15 to 30 mole % of a Nylon salt. The polyamide terpolymer includes a hard segment formed by the caprolactam, the dicarboxylic acid and the Nylon salt and a soft segment formed by the polyetheramine. The polyamide foam molded body exhibits excellent properties and is environmental-friendly.

Abstract: Techniques are disclosed for early detection of fan failure in a computing device, such as a server. A management device located in the computing device or remote from the computing device can receive information about the fan duty and use the fan duty information to determine a safe fan speed below which future or imminent fan failure can be inferred. The management device can receive the current speed of the fan and compare it with the safe fan speed to determine if the fan is likely to fail, in which case the management device can direct the computing device to perform mitigation action and/or a maintenance warning can be sent. The maintenance warning can result in replacement of the failing or soon-to-fail fan.

Abstract: Disclosed is a robot surveillance system for preventing a robot from falling down or collision by means of dynamic detection of moving object invasion. The system includes a light-emitting unit, an image capture unit, an image processing unit, a turning control unit, and a wireless transceiver unit. The image capture unit combines with an optic pattern to provide a visual module for the moving or surveillance robot. The shape of the optic pattern changes as the robot moves toward the object or pothole, and the image processing unit recognizes the detected object to be standstill, and thus controls the moving direction of the robot to effectively avoid falling or collision. Any moving object in the space is detected by the object motion detection, thereby effectively achieving the goal of spatial surveillance and security.
