Abstract: A backplane interface adapter with error control and redundant fabric for a high-performance network switch. The error control may be provided by an administrative module that includes a level monitor, a stripe synchronization error detector, a flow controller, and a control character presence tracker. The redundant fabric transceiver of the backplane interface adapter improves the adapter's ability to properly and consistently receive narrow input cells carrying packets of data and output wide striped cells to a switching fabric.

Abstract: A method and apparatus aggregate a plurality of input data streams from first processors into one data stream for a second processor, the circuit and the first and second processors being provided on an electronic circuit substrate. The aggregation circuit includes (a) a plurality of ingress data ports, each ingress data port adapted to receive an input data stream from a corresponding first processor, each input data stream formed of ingress data packets, each ingress data packet including priority factors coded therein, (b) an aggregation module coupled to the ingress data ports, adapted to analyze and combine the plurality of input data steams into one aggregated data stream in response to the priority factors, (c) a memory coupled to the aggregation module, adapted to store analyzed data packets, and (d) an output data port coupled to the aggregation module, adapted to output the aggregated data stream to the second processor.

Abstract: An infusion maker which includes a hollow body member having a surrounding flange and a through hole at the bottom and a hinged cover at the top; a filter member inside the body member covering the through hole; a blocking element for blocking the through hole; and an engaging member configured under the body member capable of moving up and down relative to the body member. The cover has a guiding plate for guiding condensed water drops to flow back into the body member. The blocking element tightly rests on a sleeve element at the through hole of the body member. The flange has a larger diameter than that of the engaging member and has a number of foot rests so as to protect the engaging member and to stably support the body member.

Abstract: A method of operating a front opening shipping box is provided. The operating method comprises providing a front opening shipping box. The front opening shipping box includes at least a container body, at least an air extraction pipeline and at least a gas inlet pipeline. The container body has at least two openings. The air extraction pipeline is disposed on the surface of the container body and linked to the container body through one of the two openings. The gas inlet pipeline is also disposed on the surface of the container body and linked to the container body through the outer opening. Then, a number of wafers are loaded inside the container body. Next, through the air extraction pipeline and the gas inlet pipeline, air is pumped out from the inside of the container box while the gas is injected into the container body simultaneously.

Abstract: A safety and drain-preventing infusing tea maker comprises a cup body, a stop, a filtering net, and a retaining plate. The stop and the filtering net are contained in the penetrating hole at the bottom of the cup body. A plurality of leg plates extend downwards from the bottom thereof and a mask is formed at the periphery thereof so that the retaining plate having through hole for being penetrated by the leg plate can be hidden in the mask to be moved therein. When the retaining plate is descended to a lowest position, it is lower then the lower rim of the mask and protrudes slightly therefrom without being lower than the lower ends of the leg plates. As a consequent, not only the retaining plate is covered by the mask for preventing an error contact, but also any container with a diameter smaller than that of the retaining plate can be used for containing the infusing tea maker.

Abstract: A tea flushing device comprises a cup body, a filtering net, a buckling disk, and a water stopper. The bottom of the cup body is installed with a long hole for being buckled and penetrated by a buckling disk so that the cup body and the buckling disk may move upwards and downwards with respective to one another. Other than protruding from the through hole installed on the buckling disk, in a plurality of foot plates, a water stopper is installed at the through hole of the bottom of the cup body. The water stopper may be a metal rolling ball with a elastic rubber water stop pad or be formed a water stopping block and guide rod. Therefore, as the tea flushing device is flatly placed on a plane, by the supporting of the foot plate, the buckling disk will drop down naturally so that the water stopper will seal the through hole. Thus, the operation of flushing tea within the cup can be performed. If desired, the tea flushing device is only necessary to be placed at a proper container.

Abstract: An infusion maker including a beaker having an inside annular flange in the middle, an inner cup mounted in the beaker for containing boiling water for steeping tea and having a bottom center through hole, a cap coupled to the inner cup at the bottom through a slip joint to hold a ball in a ball socket thereof, and a lid covered on the inner cup, the ball being forced to close the bottom center through hole of the inner cup when the inner cup is put in the beaker and supported on the inside annular flange of the beaker, the ball being disengaged from the bottom center through hole of the inner cup when the inner cup is lifted from the inside annular flange of the beaker, for permitting prepared tea infusion to flow out of the inner cup to the beaker.
