Disclosed is a vacuum apparatus that is not complicated in construction, does not require two receptacle bodies, and is improved in vacuum efficiency. The vacuum apparatus includes a cylinder member provided with a guide shaft disposed in the central area of the inner space thereof, and a piston module including a separating and opening/closing unit and a hollow rod unit with a guide bore in the inside thereof extending downward from the central area of the separating and opening/closing unit. The piston module is fitted in the inside of the cylinder member to separate the inner space of the cylinder member into an upper first space and a lower second space, and provided with a first O-ring to open/close the first space and the second space in relation to each other while being moved vertically according to a moving direction in relation to the cylinder member.

A bicycle repair stand includes an upright column. A first repair station includes a repair rack extending from the upright column in a first direction. The repair rack retains a bicycle at an elevated position relative to a column base. A tool storage face is provided along an exterior of the upright column. At least one retractable tool is coupled along the tool storage face. The at least one retractable tool includes a tool, a cable coupled with the tool, and a retraction mechanism coupled with the cable and configured to pull the tool toward the tool storage face when released by an operator.

An inflator cap comprising: an outer cover; an anti-corrosion lining formed in or inside the outer cover; and a magnetic member formed on, in or inside the outer cover, whereby the magnetic member of the inflator cap, once unscrewed from the inflator, will be magnetically attractable on a ferromagnetic object to prevent its loss; or whereby the anti-corrosion lining will preclude a direct contact between the outer cover of the inflator cap and a valve stem of the inflator to prevent from sticking of the oxide of the outer cover once oxidized on the valve stem of the inflator, thereby smoothly unscrewing the cap from the inflator.

A compressible air pump comprises a flexible pump body defining an interior volume. The compressible air pump defines at least one entry opening having a corresponding one-way valve configured to permit air to enter the interior volume of the pump body and an exit opening configured to direct air out of the pump body. The compressible air pump is biased by to an inflated or expanded configuration by a biasing member secured to sidewalls of the pump body. Upon compressing the pump body, the one-way valves associated with the entry opening seals, the air pressure within the pump body increases, and air is directed at an increased pressure out of the exit opening.

The present invention provides a bicycle tool storage device mountable in a bicycle headset assembly and/or a bicycle pump. A top cap for loading a headset assembly and mounting the device is also provided. The top cap includes an annular body and a device receiving aperture extending through the body. The top cap includes a flange extending radially outwardly from a first end of the body and a ridge defined in an inner surface of the body adjacent to the flange. The ridge is concentrically aligned with the aperture for retaining the device. Further still, a bicycle pump for mounting the device is provided. The pump includes a pump body, a handle, a pump head, and a flange. The pump body houses a plunger and a piston. The plunger and handle define a cavity for receiving the device. The handle further defines a flange for retaining the device.

A system and method for processor-based security is provided, for on-chip security and trusted computing services for software applications. A processor is provided having a processor core, a cache memory, a plurality of registers for storing at least one hash value and at least one encryption key, a memory interface, and at least one on-chip instruction for creating a secure memory area in a memory external to the processor, and a hypervisor program executed by the processor. The hypervisor program instructs the processor to execute the at least one on-chip instruction to create a secure memory area for a software area for a software module, and the processor encrypts data written to, and decrypts data read from, the external memory using the at least one encryption key and the verifying data read from the external memory using the at least one hash value.
