摘要:
A computer and a method for enabling remote communication to a computer operating in a power-saving mode in which one or more one power sources to internal devices are disabled. The computer is equipped with a power management control circuit which is responsive to a first signal indicating that a device used to receive remote communication is to receive power while operating in a power-saving mode. In the event that a remote communications is detected which is targeted for the computer, a second signal is asserted by the remote communications device. The power management control circuit responds by exiting the power-saving mode and restoring power to the disabled power source to enable the computer to process the incoming communication. The remote communication may be through a wireless source such as a radio frequency channel or through a fixed wire such as a telephone network or LAN. Other aspects of the invention enable communication through an option card installed in a option slot or a notebooks docking station such as a radio device, modem, or LAN adapter.

An AC adaptor that can reduce power not in use state, and a battery-operated electronic apparatus that can employ such an AC adaptor. An AC adaptor includes, (a) an input line along which an external AC voltage is input, (b) a first transformer for transforming the input AC voltage into a DC voltage at a first voltage level, (c) a switch provided on the primary side of the first transformer, (d) an output line along which a DC voltage on the secondary side of the first transformer is output externally, (e) a second transformer for transforming the input AC voltage into a DC voltage at a second voltage level that is higher than the first voltage level and for outputting the resultant DC voltage to the output line, and (f) an AC adaptor operation control circuit for comparing a voltage level across the output line with a reference voltage level, which is higher than the first voltage level and which is lower than the second voltage level, and for turning on the switch when the voltage level across the output line is lower than the reference voltage level, or for turning off the switch when the voltage level across the output line exceeds the reference voltage level. When an electronic apparatus does not require supply of power, the AC adaptor is detached from the system load in the apparatus, so that the voltage across the output line of the AC adaptor exceeds the reference voltage. In response to the result of the comparison, the switch on the primary side of the first transformer is turned off, and thus the operation of the first transformer can be halted.

The present invention is designed to provide an insulation coil with high insulation reliability using a dry mica tape, an integral impregnation coil and a mica tape for the electrical rotating machines using these coils, said mica tape having a long shelf life and capable of preventing run-off of the impregnating epoxy resin composition during curing, with the cured product of said epoxy resin composition being high in heat resistance. It is also envisaged to provide a single insulation coil using a mica tape containing epoxy adduct imidazole as an epoxy resin curing catalyst or a mica tape containing a mixture of epoxy adduct imidazole and zinc naphthenate. An integral impregnation coil made by using said insulation coil and an epoxy resin composition, and the electrical rotating machines using such coils are also provided.

A display apparatus according to the present invention has a plurality of electroconductive layers outside of an image display area. Mutually adjacent ones of the electroconductive layers are electrically connected by a resistor. The resistor has a first region, and a second region which is more separated from the image display area than the first region. The area of the second region per unit length in the direction separating from the image display area is smaller than the area of the first region.

When a rotating electrical machine winding is inserted into a slot with a protective insulation intervening between them, a semiconductive insulating layer is lap-wound between an interlayer insulating layer of the rotating electrical machine winding and the protective insulation, the semiconductive insulating layer being formed by center-folding a continuous semiconductive sheet in the longitudinal direction. A thermal stress relaxation layer is provided inside the center-folded continuous semiconductive sheet so that thermal stress exerted in thickness direction of the insulating layers is absorbed.
