| 20110252277 | ELECTRONIC DEVICE WITH DEBUGGING AND SOFTWARE UPDATING FUNCTION - An electronic device includes a registered jack 45 (RJ45) port, a network card, a universal asynchronous receiver/transmitter (UART), and a chip. The RJ45 port includes two receiving signal pins, two transmitting signal pins, a data transmitting pin, and a data receiving pin. The network card is connected to the two receiving signal pins and the two transmitting signal pins. The UART includes a data receiving pin and a data transmitting pin. The data transmitting pin is connected to the data receiving pin. The data receiving pin pin is connected to the data transmitting pin. The chip is connected to the UART. The UART is operable to debug or software-update the chip according to signals transmitted through the data transmitting pin and the data receiving pin. | 10-13-2011 |
| 20110280412 | EARPHONE - An earphone includes an audio input terminal, an audio output terminal, a spring, and a rheostat. The rheostat includes a first terminal, a second terminal, and a slide terminal. The audio input terminal is electrically connected to the slide terminal of the rheostat. The audio output terminal is electrically connected to the first terminal of the rheostat. The slide terminal of the rheostat is fixed to the spring. The slide terminal of the rheostat is at or near the first terminal of the rheostat in response to the spring being at an original position. The slide terminal moves to the second terminal of the rheostat in response to the spring being pressed to deform. | 11-17-2011 |
| 20110302459 | SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR TESTING HARD DISK PORTS - A method tests hard disk ports located on a motherboard of a computing device. Each of the hard disk ports connects to a respective serial port of a test fixture. The test fixture includes a group of serial ports, a multiplexer and a storage device. Each of the hard disk ports is selected to be tested during the process of hard disk ports test. A data transmission path is formed by building a connection between the storage device and a channel of the multiplexer corresponding to the hard disk port. Data are written to the storage device and read from the storage device through the data transmission path. The hard disk port is working normal if the written data are identical to the read data. The hard disk port is not working normally if the written data are not identical to the read data. | 12-08-2011 |
| 20120131319 | SECURITY PROTECTION SYSTEM AND METHOD - A server includes a baseboard management controller (BMC). The server receives a first password and a second password input by a user. The BMC stores a first cryptograph corresponding to the first password in a field-replaceable unit (FRU) of the BMC. If a second cryptograph corresponding to the second password is the same as the first cryptograph, the server is started up. If the second cryptograph is not the same as the first cryptograph and a number of times that the second password has been input is greater than a predefined number of times, the server is locked. | 05-24-2012 |
| 20120155661 | ELECTRONIC DEVICE AND METHOD FOR TESTING AN AUDIO MODULE - An electronic device and method for testing an audio module of a network device including establishing a first connection between an audio output interface of the electronic device and a microphone interface of the network device. First audio data of a test file is transmitted from the audio output interface to the microphone interface through the first connection. An audio card of the network device records the first audio data output by the microphone interface to generate second audio data, and transmit the second audio data to the electronic device through a network. The second audio data is compared with the first audio data in response to receiving the second audio data by the electronic device. The audio module is determined to be normal if the second audio data matches the first audio data. | 06-21-2012 |
| 20120166784 | SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR RECOVERING DATA OF COMPLEMENTARY METAL-OXIDE SEMICONDUCTOR - Parameters of a complementary metal-oxide semiconductor (CMOS) and an associated system time of a server are stored in a field-replaceable unit (FRU) of a baseboard management controller (BMC) of the server. If an error occurs and the CMOS is selected recovering from the BMC, the system time is selected from the FRU. The BMC reads the parameters from the FRU corresponding to the selected system time and sets the CMOS according to the read parameters. | 06-28-2012 |
| 20120169886 | SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR TESTING APERTURE OF IMAGE CAPTURING DEVICE - In a method for testing an aperture of the image capturing device, a brightness value range of images is divided into a plurality of range intervals, and one of the range intervals is determined for testing the aperture. A brightness value of a current image captured by the image capturing device is calculated. A diameter of the aperture is controlled to increase or decrease to change the brightness value of the current image to be within the determined range interval, if the brightness value is not within the determined range interval. After the brightness of the current is changed to be within the determined range interval, if the brightness value of the current image has been changed during a predetermined time period, it is determined that the aperture does not work normally. | 07-05-2012 |
| 20120173860 | COMPUTING DEVICE AND METHOD FOR REGISTERING IDENTIFICATION INFORMATION OF NETWORK INTERFACE CARD IN OPERATING SYSTEM - In a method for registering identification information of network interface cards (NICs) in an operating system of a computing device, each of the NICs is respectively and uniquely labeled with a number. A peripheral component interconnect (PCI) device identification (ID) of each of the NICs is allocated according to the labeled number of each NIC using a basic input output system (BIOS) of the computing device when the BIOS is booted up. Then identification information of each of the NICs is registered in the operating system according to the PCI device ID of each NIC using a NIC driver of the computing device, when the NIC driver is driven by the operating system during the booting up process of the operating system. | 07-05-2012 |
| 20120173891 | CIRCUIT FOR CLEARING CMOS DATA - A circuit includes a computer reset button, a computer standby power, and a relay. The relay includes a coil, a first contact connected to a complementary metal oxide semiconductor (CMOS) clearing signal pin of a computer, a second contact connected to a system reset pin of the computer, and a control portion. A first terminal of the coil is connected to the computer standby power. A second terminal of the coil is grounded. A first terminal of the control portion is grounded through the computer reset button. When the computer standby power works, the second terminal of the control portion is connected to the second contact. When the computer standby power does not work, the second terminal of the control portion is connected to the first contact. | 07-05-2012 |
