20100070680MEMORY MANAGEMENT METHOD DURING POWER-ON SELF TEST - A memory management method during a power-on self test is used to perform an access management on an option ROM during a power-on self test after a personal computer is powered on. The memory management method includes the following steps. When a BIOS is booted, an option ROM is detected. A memory segment is designated in a conventional memory. It is determined whether the memory segment is empty or not. If the memory segment is not empty, a register segment with the same capacity as the memory segment is applied for from an extended memory, and data in the memory segment is moved to the register segment for being stored. If the memory segment is empty, data in the option ROM is moved to the memory segment. The option ROM in the memory segment is set.03-18-2010
20120011402METHOD FOR TESTING SERVER SUPPORTING INTELLIGENT PLATFORM MANAGEMENT INTERFACE - A testing method for a server supporting an intelligent platform management interface (IPMI) is applied to test a server before an operating system (OS) of the server operates. The test method includes the following steps. A baseboard management controller (BMC) of the server is activated. The server is activated, and a monitoring module is operated. Real-time status data of the server stored in the BMC of the server is obtained. The monitoring module executes a pre-test procedure according to the real-time status data of the server before the OS operates. A test result of the pre-test procedure is stored.01-12-2012
20120133374METHOD FOR DETECTING CAPACITOR LOSS - A method for detecting a capacitor loss is applicable to detecting a plurality of by-pass capacitors connected in parallel to each other. The detection method includes the following steps, an alternating current (AC) signal is input into the by-pass capacitors, in which the AC signal has a plurality of test frequencies; test voltages of the by-pass capacitors at each of the test frequencies are recorded, so as to form a test result table; it is determined whether the test result table is the same as a standard voltage table; and when a result of the determination is NO, a fail signal is output. By applying the detection method, whether a loss exists in the by-pass capacitors can be effectively identified, thereby solving the problem that small capacitors are undetectable when large capacitors are connected in parallel to the small capacitors.05-31-2012
20120136842PARTITIONING METHOD OF DATA BLOCKS - A partitioning method of data blocks is applied to a data de-duplication process. The method includes the following steps. A file structural tank partitioning program and a data block partitioning process are performed on an input file. A fingerprint feature value of a generated data block is compared with fingerprint feature values recorded in completed file structural tanks. If a duplicate fingerprint feature value exists in another file structural tank, it is determined whether the duplicate data block is a first data block of the existing file structural tank. If the data block is the same as the first data block of the existing file structural tank, it is further determined whether the structural tank feature values of the file structural tanks of the two data blocks are the same; and if yes, the data block to be compared is deleted.05-31-2012
20120136958METHOD FOR ANALYZING PROTOCOL DATA UNIT OF INTERNET SMALL COMPUTER SYSTEMS INTERFACE - A method for analyzing a Protocol Data Unit (PDU) of an internet Small Computer Systems Interface (iSCSI) is used for processing a data write request of the iSCSI. The method includes sending the data write request to a target; the target generating a Ready to Transfer (R2T) PDU according to the data write request, and transferring the R2T PDU to an initiator; the initiator generating multiple groups of Data Out PDUs, and writing a scatter/gather block in a target transfer tag of each Data Out PDU; the target finding the corresponding scatter/gather block according to the target transfer tag, and obtaining a host buffer from the scatter/gather block; the target executing a Direct Memory Access command, so as to directly write a payload content received by the target in the host buffer; and after the target completes the write request, the target sending out an RSP PDU to the initiator.05-31-2012
20120136969MULTI-CAST DOWNLOAD METHOD FOR IMAGE FILE - A multi-cast download method for downloading an image file is applicable to downloading the image file from an image file server to a computer. The multi-cast download method includes the steps of establishing a wire network connection and a wireless network connection in the computer, in which the wire network connection connects the computer and the image file server; and simultaneously performing a retransmitted packet receiving process and the following steps. The image file is downloaded from the image file server to the computer in a multicast manner by using the wire network connection. When a lost packet is detected, a packet retransmitting request corresponding to the lost packet is sent by using the wireless network connection and Transmission Control Protocol (TIC).05-31-2012
20120137027SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR MONITORING INPUT/OUTPUT PORT STATUS OF PERIPHERAL DEVICES - A system and method for monitoring an input/output port status of peripheral devices are used for monitoring an operating status of each peripheral device of a main board. The system includes at least one peripheral device, a complex programmable logic device (CPLD), and an output apparatus. The CPLD is electrically connected to the peripheral devices. The CPLD further includes a protocol conversion unit and multiple data registers.
