Abstract: A method for converting network packets and a circuit system are provided. The circuit system uses firmware therein to record tables for implementing packet conversion between two types of networks (IPv4 and IPv6). In the method, a process of mapping of address and port using encapsulation (MAP-E) or a process of mapping of address and port using translation (MAP-T) is determined according to IPv4 packets routing requirement to embody an uplink and a downlink packet conversion process. A content table stores an IPv6 packet header after the MAP-E or MAP-T process. A control table is referred to for controlling the fields to be updated when adding the IPv6 packet header. A forwarding mapping rule table is referred to for determining to convert a destination IP address of an uplink IPv6 packet, or both a source IP address and a destination IP address of a downlink IPv4 packet.

Abstract: A method for accelerating the generation of Virtual Extensible Local Area Network (VXLAN) packets with an application specific integrated circuit (ASIC) includes the following steps: determining whether an original packet is an upstream packet; when the original packet is the upstream packet, determining whether the original packet is for a VXLAN egress interface; when the original packet is for the VXLAN egress interface, adding a prototype outer header to the front of the original packet and thereby generating a VXLAN packet; and after generating the VXLAN packet, determining whether to modify the content of the prototype outer header.

Abstract: A sound quality evaluation method and a sound quality evaluation system using same are provided. The sound quality evaluation system records playback of a test audio file on a plurality of playback devices to generate a plurality of pieces of audio data, and divides the audio data into a plurality of frequency bands. The sound quality evaluation system calculates the frequency bands to obtain a plurality of evaluation scores of the playback devices. The sound quality evaluation system captures sound quality ranking information corresponding to the playback devices from a reference source, and adjusts the evaluation scores according to the sound quality ranking information, to further obtain a reference model. The sound quality evaluation system adjusts correspondingly evaluation scores of a plurality of to-be-tested playback devices according to the reference model, to obtain sound quality ranking information of the to-be-tested playback devices.

Abstract: The methods and systems are provided to adaptively change power threshold at a policy based power supply device (PBPSD). The PBPSD (101) retrieves a first power policy and determines a power threshold substantially based on the first power policy. A power port authority is also determined based on the first power policy. The PBPSD (101) then provides power to each of the plurality of power ports based on the power threshold and the power port priority. The PBPSD (101) comprises a first processor, a plurality of power connectors, and a plurality of AC-DC regulators. Each of the plurality of power connectors is capable of receiving electricity from a power supply.

Abstract: The present disclosure provides a gateway controlling chip and a network packet processing method thereof. The gateway controlling chip is configured to: retrieve a network packet; determine that the network packet is an upstream IP tunneling network packet; determine a packet type of the upstream IP tunneling network packet; retrieve a packet operation list corresponding to the packet type, wherein the packet operation list records a plurality of packet operations; and perform the packet operations for processing the network packet.

Abstract: The present invention provides a display panel including a non-rectangular display area. The display panel includes a first pixel row. The first pixel row includes a plurality of inner pixels and a plurality of end pixels. The inner pixels are disposed in the non-rectangular display area, and the end pixels are disposed between an end of the first pixel row and the inner pixels. An area of a display region of each of the end pixels is less than an area of a display region of each of the inner pixels. In the first pixel row, areas of a plurality of display regions of the end pixels are increased along a direction from the end of the first pixel row toward the inner pixels.

Abstract: The present invention discloses methods and systems for printing messages on a print medium. The system comprises a server, a print server, and a gateway. The print server receives a list of server messages from a remote server and also receives a user input from a user. Based on the user input, the print server determines whether a printing message should be printed on the print medium. The printing message is determined from the list of server messages. The gateway also receives a first password list from the remote server and an input password from a user. If the input password matches one of the passwords in a verification password list, the gateway allows the user to access a network.
