The present invention only requires performing updates of the installation script and various drivers in the remote server, which enables an automatic installation for various configurations of the computer. In addition, the present invention need not to allocate a navigation disc or other installation load discs to the computer, which saves the costs. | 04-23-2009 |
| 20090175311 | COMPUTER AND METHOD OF MONITORING WIND RESISTANCE CHANGES - The present invention relates to a computer and a method of monitoring wind resistance changes. The computer comprises a wind resistance change monitoring device, the device comprising: one or more first temperature sensors, located at one or more positions inside the computer where an actual ambient temperature can be monitored, and configured to sense one or more ambient temperatures as first temperature; one or more heaters, located at the front end of a cooling duct of the computer, and configured to work at a rated power; one or more second temperature sensors, located corresponding to the one or more heaters, and configured to sense one or more temperatures of the one or more heaters as second temperature; and a control module configured to determine whether the wind resistance of the computer has changed or not based on a comparison of the relationship between the first and second temperature with the relationship between a predetermined ambient temperature and a predetermined heater temperature. | 07-09-2009 |
| 20100031773 | COMPOUND MAGNETIC POWDER AND MAGNETIC POWDER CORES, AND METHODS FOR MAKING THEM THEREOF - The present invention provides a compound powder for making magnetic powder cores, a kind of magnetic powder core, and a process for making them. Said compound powder is a mixture composing of powder A and powder B, the content of powder A is 50-96 wt. % and the content of powder B is 4-50 wt. %, wherein powder A is at least one selected from iron powder, Fe—Si powder, Fe—Si—Al powder, Fe-based nanocrystalline powder, Fe-based amorphous powder, Fe—Ni powder and Fe—Ni—Mo powder; powder B bears different requirement characteristics from powder A and is at least one selected from iron powder, Fe—Si powder, Fe—Si—Al powder, Fe-based nanocrystalline powder, Fe-based amorphous powder, Fe—Ni powder and Fe—Ni—Mo powder. Said powder B adopts Fe-based amorphous soft magnetic powder with good insulation property as insulating agent and thus core loss of magnetic powder core decreases. The decrease of magnetic permeability of magnetic powder core resulting from a traditional insulating agent is remedied and the initial magnetic permeability of magnetic powder core is improved by taking advantage of soft magnetic properties of Fe-based amorphous powder. | 02-11-2010 |

| 20110158308 | EMBEDDED TRANSMISSION OF MULTIPLE SERVICES IN A DIGITAL TERRESTRIAL TELEVISION MULTIMEDIA BROADCASTING (DTMB) SYSTEM - A system and method is described for transmitting and receiving terrestrial and mobile services in one spectrum in a Digital Terrestrial Television Multimedia Broadcasting (DTMB) terrestrial network compatible with conventional terrestrial receivers. Terrestrial service data and mobile service data to be broadcast are provided. The packet headers for the mobile service data are scrambled and the terrestrial service data is scrambled. The terrestrial service data and mobile service data is multiplexed together to form multiplexed terrestrial service data and mobile service data. The multiplexed terrestrial service data and mobile service data is received at a terrestrial DTMB receiver which distinguishes the terrestrial service data from the mobile service data on the basis of packet headers. At a mobile DTMB receiver, the multiplexed terrestrial service data and mobile service data is received and control frames are used to distinguish the terrestrial service data from the mobile service data. | 06-30-2011 |
| 20110208492 | Joint-Aware Manipulation of Deformable Models - This disclosure describes a joint-aware deformation framework that supports the direct manipulation of an arbitrary mix of rigid and deformable components. The deformation framework may include at least a joint-analysis and a joint-aware deformation enabling a more realistic deformation of a joint-aware model. | 08-25-2011 |
