      <title>Only two companies to achieve growth in the IPC industry</title>
      <link>http://www.programmersheaven.com/mb/hardware/393244/393244/only-two-companies-to-achieve-growth-in-the-ipc-industry/</link>
      <description>According to the financial reports released by global industrial PC suppliers as of May 31, EVOC remains in the rank of the world's top three. In Q1 2009, most IPC companies showed a 20-30% negative growth. As one of the only two companies to achieve growth in the industry, EVOC grew by 11.48%, ranking No. 1 in growth rate. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Statistics in April and May indicated that compared with the same period of last year, most IPC companies experienced negative growth, and the whole industry is suffering from the combined effects of a general economic downturn. On the one hand, the direct impact of financial crisis on IPC industry is about increased difficulty in funding and getting loans, which has made some companies run out of cash. On the other hand, almost all the down-stream industries of IPC (including transportation, industrial automation, medical care, electric power, environmental protection, petrol chemical, banking, network security and video surveillance) are suffering from ripple effects of the crisis, and have reduced production and demands for industrial computing products. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Despite the impact of the global financial crisis upon the IPC industry, both Kontron and EVOC showed optimistic views on their current situation and future development. CEO of Kontron Ulrich Gehrmann said, “Particularly in times of crisis, cost-effective and high-performance innovative systems such as those developed by Kontron can be worthwhile investments for industry. This is because outsourcing offers benefits, can result in rapid savings in companies' unit costs, and cut working capital, thereby resulting in higher liquidity and equity ratios, which are very important factors in these times.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The sales revenue of EVOC in the first quarter of 2009 was US$29,870,000, 11.48% up from last year’s US$26,790,000. The two-digit growth rate achieved during the crisis greatly inspires people in the industry. Ms. Amy Pan, Global Sales Director of EVOC Group said, “This achievement can be attributed to the interaction and integration of EVOC’s R&amp;amp;D effort and global marketing. EVOC always focuses on product innovation, and fine-tunes its R&amp;amp;D plans and strategy according to the market feedbacks. These two points secure EVOC’s position as the market leader in terms of product R&amp;amp;D and technological innovation. In addition, EVOC’s exploration in overseas market is progressing smoothly, and EVOC has established its name in Europe, North America, Middle East and South-east Asia. Increasing demands for EVOC products from some incremental markets and improvement in market conditions are the positive factors that can explain EVOC’s sales performance.” &lt;br /&gt;

      <title>EVOC Attracts Overseas Buyers despite Crisis</title>
      <link>http://www.programmersheaven.com/mb/hardware/392965/392965/evoc-attracts-overseas-buyers-despite-crisis/</link>
      <description>&lt;strong&gt;During a two-week program titled A Trip to China for Business Opportunities, nearly a hundred company representatives from Europe, Middle-east, South America and Asia-pacific visited EVOC headquarters.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
After their visits in EVOC Group' s Pilot Run Centre and Showroom, largest one for embedded and industrial computing industry in Asia, the guests had better understandings about EVOC Group' s history, product lines, R&amp;amp;D and innovation capability, as well as the achievements EVOC Group has made. In particular, they showed great interests in EVOC' s Panel PC, rugged computer and industrial workstation.

      <title>Frequency Control Air Compressor Solution</title>
      <link>http://www.programmersheaven.com/mb/hardware/392604/392604/frequency-control-air-compressor-solution/</link>
      <description>System Introduction&lt;br /&gt;
Air compressor group is essential equipment required by many enterprises. Control the on-off action of air compressor (such as regular maintenance, emergency stop) according to the air conditions of working field. Control compressing speed through transducer to suit variable air conditions and save electricity. All of these request sequential operation of corresponding switches, valves and control transducers. When operating, check air compressor conditions frequently. In case of temperature, pressure or motor rated current exceeding limits, stop running immediately. If pressure is high, transducer lowers motor speed; stop running part of air compressor if necessary. The disadvantages of human monitoring: 24-hour monitoring makes staff exhausted and tired. It is unsafe and a waste of human resources. Therefore, IPC automatic intelligent monitoring solutions are widely applied. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
A mine has a group of three V-6/7 electric fixed water-cooled air-compressors, requesting remote operation and automatic start-up and shut-down, automatic shut-down when parameters abnormal, frequency conversion power saving running. The voltage in the mine is unstable, and the start-up and shut-down of air compressor cause great interference to electric network, plus strong vibration, dusty, harsh environment and the requirements of 24-hour uninterrupted operating, the system demands exceptional safety and stability. Therefore, EVOC Industrial PC is introduced. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
System Structure&lt;br /&gt;
Check Points:&lt;br /&gt;
1) Electric Signal Check Unit: Check main motor current 1 point, as well as main power supply three-phase voltage, 3 points in total.&lt;br /&gt;
2) Pressure Signal Check Unit: Check the pressure of 1-cylinder, 2-cylinder and air reservoir, 3 points in total.&lt;br /&gt;
3) Temperature Signal Check Unit: Check 1-cylinder exhaust temperature, 2-cylinder intake &amp;amp; exhaust temperature, oil temperature, crank bearing temperature of 2 points, motor bearing temperature of 2 points and cooling water outlet temperature, 9 points in total.&lt;br /&gt;
Total: (1 + 3 + 9) x 3 + 3 = 42 points&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
System Configuration&lt;br /&gt;
1) Industrial PC: Includes IPC-810A chassis, IPC-6113LP4 backplane, FSC-1713VNA Industrial full-size CPU card, industrial power PS-270A, etc., assuring good quality and highly security.&lt;br /&gt;
2) PCI-64AD Data Acquisition Card: 64-Channel high gain multi-function DAS card (PCI bus interface), conduct A/D conversion as 32-channel differential analog signal, collect the data of the analog input signal of check point.&lt;br /&gt;
3) PCI-16P16R Control Card: It is a 16-channel relay output and isolated compact PCI bus digital D/I card, providing 16-channel relay output and 16-channel optical-isolated digital input. Onboard 16 relay output is used for controlling power switch or switch control device (like cooling water pump switch, intake valve switch, outlet valve switch, main motor on-off switch, etc); 16-channel optical isolated input is used for the “On-off signal” input of check point (like high temperature alarm point, pressure threshold, etc. )&lt;br /&gt;
4) Frequency Conversion Controller: controlled by Industrial PC, change motor speed by changing output voltage frequency, accordingly change air compressor speed. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
System Evaluation&lt;br /&gt;
The automatic monitoring function of Industrial PC remarkably reduces labor force and speeds automation level. By far, it has no fault record and enjoys good reputation, efficiently realizing the remote monitoring of air compressor plant without human direction.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

      <description>&lt;strong&gt;Check the package of cigarettes, including soft and hard packaging check and box check.Unqualified items are removed.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;strong&gt;System Introduction&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Tobacco is a big industry in the world. It pays significant amounts of tax to the government and offers a large number of job opportunities. Many large size tobacco enterprises are willing to use advanced automation equipment to improve the quality of their products. Complete checking items and advanced checking methods make it convenient to track and control the quality of products. Manufacturing cigarettes involves various stages: first baking, threshing and redrying, fermentation, blending, tobacco strips, tobacco rolled, and tobacco packaging. Then the cigarettes can be sent to market. Tobacco packaging plays an increasingly important role in encouraging tobacco consumption.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;strong&gt;System Requirements&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Check the package of cigarettes, including soft packaging check, hard packaging check and box check. Box check contains the check of brand print, internal package, external package and so on. Unqualified items are removed.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;strong&gt;System Principle &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Use two groups of video sensors to capture image from the five sides of tobacco package: front, back, left, right and top. Input the captured image to computer to compare and remove the unqualified items. The speed of production line is very fast, for example, the packaging speed of soft package is 360 cases per minute. Therefore, it requires high speed camera. Moreover, the main computer not only can manage applications in industrial field, but also should be capable of processing graphics at a high speed. The system adopts EVOC IPC-810A computer, plus video capture card, PCL-725 I/O control card, 725 card outputs control signal to remove unqualified items. EVOC's FSC-1812V2NA motherboard, featuring 256M dynamic share video memory onboard, is capable of dealing with high speed image processing.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;strong&gt;System Configurations&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
1) Main Computer: IPC-8422/PS-7270 ATX/6114P7&lt;br /&gt;
2) Motherboard: FSC-1812V2NA&lt;br /&gt;
3) CPU: Core 2 Duo E6400/E4300&lt;br /&gt;
4) Memory: 2G&lt;br /&gt;
5) Hard Disk: 250G SATA RAID&lt;br /&gt;
6) I/O Card: PCL-725&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;strong&gt;System Evaluation&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
The system reduces working capitals, shortens machine downtime, improves product quality, and prevents unqualified products from entering the market. It improves product class, user's satisfaction and potential brand value and reduces the rate of returned product.&lt;br /&gt;

      <link>http://www.programmersheaven.com/mb/hardware/390427/390427/good-video-card-on-laptop-or-not/</link>
      <description>I'm going to buy a laptop this june or july for school purposes but I don't know if I need a good video card on it. I'm more on 3D programming in C++ and using OpenGL. I'm going to use its shaders also and might go with physics simulation also. Do I need a good video card like 9600m gt or a 9100m or hd3200 is fine then upgrade my desktop.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I'm going to buy a laptop because most of the time I'm in school, though.&lt;br /&gt;</description>

      <title>Hi-tech Enterprises Shine at Canton Fair</title>
      <link>http://www.programmersheaven.com/mb/hardware/389688/389688/hi-tech-enterprises-shine-at-canton-fair/</link>
      <description>The 23-day 105th China Import and Export Fair (the Canton Fair) opened on April 15th at Pazhou Complex, Guangzhou. It offers a perfect platform for business negotiation and cooperation between Chinese exporters and foreign purchasers. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The crisis has taken its toll on the Chinese export. As the foreign demand fell, the export turnover, one of the three engines driving the Chinese economy, also dropped, greatly affecting the overall economic growth. The opening of the fair at this juncture is of considerable significance, offering a perfect platform for business negotiation and cooperation between Chinese exporters and foreign purchasers.   &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Like the previous session, the 105th session is also split into three phases. 22104 enterprises both from home and abroad are presenting themselves in 55885 standard booths covering an exhibition space of 1.125 million square meters. A total of 21709 domestic enterprises are exhibiting in 55272 export booths covering a total exhibition space of 1.11 million square meters. Although the total exhibition space remains the same, the average space for each exhibitor has become larger.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Like in the last session, in this session of the Canton Fair, the exhibitors are grouped both by their nationalities and by their exhibited products. The difference is the space allocation. In the previous sessions, consumer products occupied major part of the exhibition space; while in this session, industrial products are taking precedence over consumer products, which attests to the importance the government attaches to industrial and hi-tech enterprises. This shift of focus is also in line with the policy of boosting domestic demand put forward by the central government last year, as well as the Ten-industry Revival Plan announced early this year, in which government’s support to transformation ＆ upgrading of industrial enterprises is a major highlight. Industrial automation, which is indispensable for both infrastructure construction and projects for people's well-being, plays a key role in driving economic growth.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The shift could also explain why so many hi-tech enterprises have shown up in this session of the Canton Fair. Among them is EVOC Group, an IPC manufacturer based in Shenzhen, who has taken four booths at the fair. Not much affected by the economic crisis like many other exporters, EVOC puts more emphasis on export this year following its initial success in the overseas market. For Chinese hi-tech enterprises like EVOC, the Canton Fair is a convenient platform to tap into global market.  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In order to provide more business opportunities and better support to enterprises in their efforts to expand export, this session of the Canton Fair has cut exhibition fees substantially to alleviate the financial burden on exhibitors. The organizers have been urging the innovative, brand-owning and competitive enterprises to participate in the fair, and encouraging them to exhibit “competitive, brand-name and brand-new” products, with a view to giving purchasers broader selection and achieving higher turnover.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Although the export market situation is still not good, some positive factors are looming on the horizon. The governments at all levels are making efforts to make export stable, and a series of policies and measures have been introduced and are taking positive effects. It is believed that the brand influence and competitiveness of the Canton Fair accumulated over time would attract more foreign purchasers and provide domestic enterprises with more business opportunities. The Canton Fair, also known as China’s No. 1 fair, will continue to function as a communication platform for international trade and drive further the export growth of China. &lt;br /&gt;

      <title>Getting through Tough Time with the Integrated Business Management and</title>
      <link>http://www.programmersheaven.com/mb/hardware/389438/389438/getting-through-tough-time-with-the-integrated-business-management-and/</link>
      <description>&lt;strong&gt;System Introduction&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Along with the gradually coming of information era, rapid increase of society information, it is impossible for people to use traditional method to deal with the huge information. So changing traditional business mode and letting it go into an automatic and electronic way, has become an inevitable trend, for the purpose of realizing office automation. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;strong&gt;System Principles&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
The design guidelines of system are secure, reliable, high efficient, practical, advanced technology, expandable and open standard. The design goal is based on the advance computer network technology, to construct an integrated business platform system, enhance the company business efficient and emergence dealing ability. All of these require that hardware platform features high reliability, good expendability and standard property. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
To protect the data, the system employs two EVOC IPC-810A industrial PCs as servers and one EVOC IPC-8621 industrial PC RAID system and SLHA software to construct dual fault tolerance system. The system works in dual standby mode. One server is used as database server and offers database service, while the other server is used as the file server, data saved in the RAID system. Under the normal situation, these two servers work independently, guaranteeing the fault-tolerance and real-time function of the system. RAID system adopts the fault-tolerance and hot-swap function of EVOC IPC-8621 RAID industrial PC. If one of hard disks in the RAID system fails to work, it can be hot-replaced and the system repairs itself automatically. The entire system assures highly network and data security. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;strong&gt;System Configuration&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Server: Chassis IPC-8621 / Motherboard FSC-1714VNA / CPU Pentium D / Memory 1.0G / Hard Disk 600G&lt;br /&gt;
Switch: Chassis IPC-810B /Motherboard FSC-1713VNA (B) / CPU P4 2.4 / Memory 512MB / Hard Disk 160G&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;strong&gt;System Evaluation&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
1) The system adopts ‘EVOC’ IPC-8621 fault tolerance industrial PC, dual active and dual standby to guarantee system seamless switching to the standby system when one of the systems fails to work, assuring the system data safe and reliable.&lt;br /&gt;
2) The system adopts difference access manner respectively for building dense area and building disperse area, which makes the system more economical and efficient.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

      <title>Step Probes Science Teaching and Learning With Unique Technology</title>
      <link>http://www.programmersheaven.com/mb/hardware/388730/388730/step-probes-science-teaching-and-learning-with-unique-technology/</link>
      <description>Step Probes Science Teaching and Learning With Unique Technology&lt;br /&gt;
Since November, 1999 the Preparing Tomorrow’s Teachers for Technology (PT3) federal grant has enabled aculty to explore how various technologies can support powerful teaching and learning in the Stanford Teacher Education Program (STEP). The grant’s long-term goal is for STEP’s teacher candidates and cooperating teachers to model technology in their classrooms and encourage secondary students’ learning through technology .Through the grant, STEP has developed exciting new partnerships with econdary schools in the Bay Area. &lt;br /&gt;
The “Probeware Collaboratory,” one of the grant’s projects, includes a learning community of Bay Area science teachers, STEP teacher candidates, and STEP instructors. Beginning in summer 2001, Social Science Research Associate and STEP Instructor Susan Schultz (PhD ’99) and a cohort of STEP science teacher candidates began collaborating with professional scientists at Stanford’s Jasper Ridge Biological Preserve to study the effects of global warming. &lt;br /&gt;
The unique study uses [url=http://www.jssw.net/web_e/]probeware[/url], a computer-based technology, to measure air temperature, carbon dioxide concentrations, nitrogen levels, and soil temperature. This June, eighteen STEP cooperating teachers will use probeware to collect and analyze soil temperature data. These science teachers will  &lt;br /&gt;
They came already shod in [url=http://www.sogobiz.com]Christian Louboutin[/url]. At home, they have dozens, even 100 pairs of the French designer's shoes, some encased in special walls in their closets.    teach high school students to collect and analyze temperature data at their school site using probeware. The students’ data will be posted on a collaborative website with Jasper Ridge scientists and become part of a real scientific study. Everyone involved with the collaboratory is excited about the opportunities for learning that probeware enables, especially helping students to visualize abstract concepts. Probeware involves a probe that resembles a thermometer connected to a handheld device the size of a cell phone. Software within the device interfaces with a computer, allowing students to collect data with the probe and then analyze it in “real time.” The device can record temperature, motion, velocity, ph levels, sound, and EKG, among other things. According to Schultz, this type of data is difficult to acquire through traditional labs and the data can be more easily graphed and analyzed using the software.  ♪暑さを吹き飛ばして、夏をｴﾝｼﾞﾖｲしましょ[url=http://www.cato-pc.com]パソコン　ノート[/url]。&lt;br /&gt;
Schultz commented on the success of the project, saying, “The real advantages of using this technology is that it helps teachers create opportunities for students to collect real time data that is not normally accessible in traditional labs, analyze graphical representations of the data, and puzzle over the implications of the findings. If one acknowledges that students learn science concepts best when they are actively engaged in scientific investigation then these learning opportunities have the potential to maximize student learning.” wo VL 750 dredge pumps will be installed as well as a number of VL standard [url=http://www.asian-valve.com]Gate valve[/url] in various diameters. One pump will operate as the dredge pump and the second one as delivery pump. In the early 20 th century, the rise of technology and prescription drugs began to overshadow massage therapy. For the next several decades, [url=http://www.shanghai-escorts.com]massage shanghai[/url] remained dormant and only a few therapists continued to practice the "ancient" technique.&lt;br /&gt;

      <description>Hi, &lt;br /&gt;
I'm new to the forum. I searched for prior threads but came across none which were relevant. So here goes.&lt;br /&gt;
I am looking for an old Octagon Systems CPU, type Micro PC 5066.&lt;br /&gt;
As this is a dated card, it is a little difficult to find at a decent price. Second hand boards will do as well.&lt;br /&gt;
Any clues, advice or directions as to where I may find such a board would be very helpful.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Thanks!&lt;br /&gt;

      <title>Have You Ever Thought What Is Actually in the ATM?</title>
      <link>http://www.programmersheaven.com/mb/hardware/388534/388534/have-you-ever-thought-what-is-actually-in-the-atm/</link>
      <description>When you are drawing cash from an ATM, besides the money, have you ever thought what is in the ATM? Why could it possibly tell the money is not counterfeit, and precisely process each order? Have You Ever Thought What Is Actually in the ATM? I'd just taken it for granted untill I visited the exhibition center of EVOC, the embedded &amp;amp; industrial computing manufacturer, providing solutions in various applications.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;strong&gt;System Principle&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
ATM, a highly sophisticated system, realizes self-services through magnetic cards or smart cards. It has a variety of functions including cash withdrawal, balance enquiry, transfer of funds, cash deposit (real-time recording), check deposit, intermediary business and so on. Cash-holders can use credit cards or debit cards to handle some transactions covering withdraw, balance enquiry, transfer of funds, deposit, fund purchase, password change, mobile phone fees payment, etc.&lt;br /&gt;

      <title>EIP Application in Gigabit LAN Firewall</title>
      <link>http://www.programmersheaven.com/mb/hardware/387402/387402/eip-application-in-gigabit-lan-firewall/</link>
      <description>1.	&lt;strong&gt;System Introduction&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Every industry has been attaching more and more importance to information security. Firewall products have been widely applied in many fields, such as banking, insurance, stock, mail, military, custom, taxation and government. Therefore, firewall products become the focus of competition of security products in domestic market. Gigabit firewall as the foundation equipment of network security system, embedded in the primary communication trunk of controlled network, monitors any communication via the controlled primary trunk. The features of firewall include: access control, Domain name translation, transparent access, user authentication, content filtering, VPN, high availability, traffic management, billing, intrusion monitoring, through agents, and management methods of multi command lines, Web interface and Windows GUI Manager. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
2.	&lt;strong&gt;System Requirements&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
With the continuous development of firewall, firewall is gradually evolving into a system. And more demands are required, primarily focusing on high performance, high stability and reliability and high adaptability. &lt;br /&gt;
1)	&lt;strong&gt;High Performance&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
High performance is usually determined by two parts: hardware and software&lt;br /&gt;
The key factors for soft-firewall are excellent software design and higher requirements of system platform. The improvement of software performance presents in the structure and implementation of operation system and application system.&lt;br /&gt;
Hard-firewall focuses both on hardware and software. Hardware platform mostly adopts industrial PC (IPC) system (reducing hardware development costs). Hence, hardware performance relies on the improvement of CPU and memory capabilities. But when attempting to improve system performance through software, there are fewer methods; almost all of software systems are based on Linux. &lt;br /&gt;
2)	&lt;strong&gt;High Stability and Reliability&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
The firewall reliability reflects in hardware and software two parts.&lt;br /&gt;
IPC performs good capability in this field with Intel X86 structure. The network interface chip is integrated in mainboard, improving the reliability of product. The electronic type storage (non-mechanical magnetoelectric) also improves the performance and adaptability of anti-temperature and anti-humidity, suitable for long term running. &lt;br /&gt;
Certainly, the improvement of software reliability is critical for firewall product, along with the increase of security demand and network application, the firewall has been constantly expanded and revised, this bring challenges in reliability. Generally, a small revise is necessary to conduct a complete firewall and application testing. &lt;br /&gt;
3)	&lt;strong&gt;High Adaptability&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
The adaptability of firewall is an inevitable problem when promoting the product to a certain stage, it reflects in use flexibility. Actually, a prefect product is made by time not by design. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
3.	&lt;strong&gt;Block Diagram&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;img src="http://www.evoc.com/oversea/images/solution/20081028145057663.jpg" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
4.	&lt;strong&gt;System Configuration&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Chassis: IPC-8118(B)&lt;br /&gt;
Mainboard: NET-1711VD4N&lt;br /&gt;
Accessories: P4 2.8/512M/80G&lt;br /&gt;
IPC-8118(B) is designed dedicated for the network security application. 1.5U rackmount industrial chassis, build-in P4 NET-1711VD4N Gigabit network dedicated mainboard, adopting the Intel 845GV and ICH4 chipset, supporting Pentium4/Celeron/Celeron D CPU and built-in four Intel 82541GI Gigabit network chip controllers, suitable to control internal network, external network, demilitarize zone(DMZ), configuration network and port control. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
5.	&lt;strong&gt;System Evaluation&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
1)	System reliable and efficient. EVOC EIP products are industrial computer based on the PC bus structure and meet the demand of integrated business system. &lt;br /&gt;
2)	System convenient to expand, simple operation and easy maintenance. &lt;br /&gt;
