LHUPATECH come from a little electronic shop called Yatzek Electros Technologies (or simply "Yatzek Electros"): an electronic audio-video and gadget (or gizmos) service company established in La Martre Quebec, Canada (also known as "Gaspésie") in September 15, 1996.
Until August 2000, the little gaspesian electronic shop has serviced several customer's apparatuses and gizmos.
Today, Y. E. stills in this field but has added many others as customized services! But, the ultimate "dream" of the founder was to create computer virtual jukeboxes to compensate the lack of sufficient mechanical knowledge, the highly specialized commodities and machinery to build
real jukeboxes as we can see in arcades, cafés, restaurants, bars or dance clubs.
This passion of Yatzek Electros' founder for mechanical automated music players or "jukeboxes" go back to 60's when at the age of six, the founder has seen such huge apparatus as a high wheeled big truck playing full power, all lighted and full visible mechanism the biggest hits of the day at the local corner snack bar!...
The kid was really exited and vowed to build one when adult... The infernal jukebox was a Wurlitzer 1900 (1956)!
To satisfy his passion for music boxes and use the Internet for easier part finding, the Y. E.'s founder
trough his company has involved a computer related services division in late August 2000 as "YATZEK" or "YATZEK ELECTROS" with a multimedia CD transfer service. Almost of the service at the era, was Internet search, music and software backups for local customers.
Troughout the first 2000 decade, Yatzek Electros Technologies has created a myriad of CD / CDROM
labels with typical service monikers and themes to diversify its multimedia service range and giving it a more professional touch to its products and services.
By 2001, Y. E. has begun to offer some electronic and computer services under the "LHUPA" service
mark and the well known "cylinder" logo with the term "LHUPA" written in fushia Prose Antique
character troughout the diameter of the logo.
So, the "LHUPA" name is the moniker of the Y. E.'s founder over the Internet (and sometimes in the
locality) and it was used from February 2001 to present as a service mark for its originality and typical "techno" sounding!
Since 2001, we know that LHUPA is a part of Y. E. and offers media technology services. But, from
2003, LHUPA has begun offering some "hardware" and classic electronic services and then, the
current name "LHUPA" has been quite updated to "LHUPATECH" to signify the new "Hi-Tech" way of
that division.
But, the logo stills the same and won't be changed in any pretext! The "LHUPA" name is now linked to LHUPATECH's products (most of them free) as skins for media jukeboxes i-e DW Jukebox*, Winamp*, Real Player*, Xion*, Quintessential Media Player (QCD)*, Virtual Music Jukebox (VMJ)* ect. and its truly creation and official product: the PDF Jukebox System (PDFJS).
Today, LHUPATECH continues and strives to offer the best guaranteed multimedia products and
services as possible for long time again and again! Also, LHUPATECH will unveil new creations, improving the current products and services available for reliability and customer's satisfaction!

WHY LHUPA? WHAT THIS MEANS? WHAT THE
"CYLINDER" LOGO MEANS?
The term "LHUPA" is originally come from a brand of clothing that was known as "LUPA"* at the era in wich the founder of Yatzek Electros Technologies has liked to wear and collect in two collections called respectively "L'Étiquetheque" (a clothing tag collection) and its sister "L'Écussonnaire" (a similar collection but for crests, uniforms and anything identifing a company, a government, the army or any other public service and so on!). A website for these collections should be linked to the LHUPATECH's website soon!
Once the inceptor of Yatzek Electros has begun to go over the Internet, he has choosen "LUPA" as moniker for this "love" for his favorite clothing brand as many others do! But, hundreds of Internet users have already the moniker "LUPA" and the nickname was forbidden to use in most cases. In this situation, another "nick" was choosen instead "LUPA" until to find another one original in mind!
Few days after, a stunning idea comes on! Adding an "H" (as a mute letter) between the "L" an the "U" of the "LUPA" word and this has made "L' H' UPA" The newly formed word can be pronounced "LUPA" but it's written "LHUPA"! This has brought solutions and the name has been used as moniker at large and absolutely nobody has already used this version yet!
This, had fully permitted the use of the convoited word all over the Internet as a user name (at the great satisfaction of the founder of Yatzek Electros) and today with pride, as a service mark with absolutely no risk to confuse the "LUPA" clothing brand (or anything else under the brand) and avoiding possible lawsuits due to its originality!
On the other side, the "cylinder" logo has been taken from a curious circumstance: It comes out from a film, after viewing an animal killing plant in a old 1975 documentary NFB french film titled " Au Nom De Tous Les Chiens" in what a pound keeper in N. Y. C., destroys thousands of pets a day in a very anarchic killing plant that has stimuled the imagination and overwhelmed at the same time!
This, has really disgusted and surprised the viewers at the same time! This, was the most intriguing killing installation that has never been seen for the era! The killing system was simple: putting alive animals in a specific cage that forms a cylinder grid (for air circulation), introducing this closed cage with animals in an apparatus called a "cylinder" (that's looks like a water tank or an industrial boiler once closed with two pipes on the top for vacuum, a hinge on the center top and a porthole window on the upper center of the front panel as you can see on the LHUPA as well LHUPATECH logo.) and then, activating a vacuum pump to extract the air from the cylinder to finally cause the death of these animals contained in. Once the animals were recognized as dead, the carcasses were thrown away in a chilled room in order to sell it after as biological ingredients to several industries as adhesives, ointments and other commodities.
This, was enough intriguing to incitate us to use it as a logo if we think that a such apparatus has been used to kill animals and otherwise can be used to create things in other industries as manufacturing processes i-e autoclaves and dryers!
At the era, the new Yatzek Electros computer services division had nothing to distinguish it of the rest of the Y. E.'s services!
The use the LHUPA name within the "cylinder" logo has come in mind. Several attempts and tests were made on CD labels and other computer related services and the "cylinder" logo was finally adopted!
It was designed in several versions and colors until the final version has been draft: the well known LHUPA "Cylinder" Silver Medaillion. Whatever used to identify LHUPA computer products and services or the entire Y. E.'s LHUPATECH division, the logo will continue to stimulate creativity and guaranteed satisfaction!
