Abstract:
A portable computer and a hinge mechanism thereof are provided. The portable computer includes a display monitor, a host and a hinge mechanism. The hinge mechanism for rotating the display monitor and the host relatively includes a bottom board, a pivot, a power adapter, a locking bracket, a slanting board and a parallel board. The pivot is disposed on the bottom board. Two ends of the pivot are connected with the host and the display monitor respectively. The power adapter is disposed on the bottom board. The locking bracket having a locking hole is disposed on the bottom board. The slanting board disposed on the bottom board slants to the pivot. The slanting board has a first opening which exposes the power adapter. The parallel board disposed on the bottom board is parallel to the pivot. The parallel board has a second opening which exposes the locking hole.
Abstract:
A liquid crystal display panel includes a first scan line, a second scan line, a data line, a first pixel and a second pixel. The first pixel has a first switch, a second switch and a first pixel electrode. The second pixel has a third switch and a second pixel electrode. The driving method of the liquid crystal display panel includes the following steps. During a first time period, the first scan line and the second scan line are enabled at the same time, and a first pixel voltage is inputted to the data line. During a second time period, the first scan line is enabled, the second scan line is disabled, and a second pixel voltage is inputted to the data line. The second time period is shorter than the first time period.
Abstract:
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.
Abstract:
A system for testing hard disks includes a hard disk testing device and a computer. The computer has a mainboard and a key-press controller. The hard disk testing device connects with the mainboard and includes: a hard disk interface configured for connecting one or more hard disks to be tested to a south bridge of the mainboard; a key-press panel configured for connecting the key-press controller of the computer, and providing a hard disk testing control interface for users; and a hard disk testing unit configured for testing the one or more hard disks.
Abstract:
Overriding a ring back signal involves receiving a ring back signal at a communications apparatus from a communication network in response to a user-initiated connection request. The ring back signal is rendered to a user of the communications apparatus, and a user input is received at the communications device to override the ring back signal. An alternate output is rendered to the user in place of the ring back signal.
Abstract:
A rescue structure to repair an open wire includes a first metal layer having at least a rescue line, an isolation layer formed on the first metal layer, and a second metal layer formed on the isolation layer. The second metal layer has at least a signal line crossing the rescue line to form an enlarged intersection node. The intersection node is particularly arranged far from the side where the rescue line is used for signal transmission.
Abstract:
A switch device for implementing a power-on process for a portable electronic device includes a switch having a protrusion, a switch socket installed in the portable electronic device including a slot utilized for embedding the switch and a conducting portion for outputting a trigger signal while the protrusion is electrically connected to the conducting portion, and a trigger identification unit for starting the portable electronic device according to the trigger signal.
Abstract:
An herbal extract which induces immune cells to produce interferon and activates Toll-like receptors and a preparation method thereof are provided. The herbal extract is extracted from an effective amount of raw material including Glycyrrhizae Radix, Bupleuri Radix, Scutellariae Radix, Schisandrae Fructus and Paeoniae Rubra Radix. Glycyrrhizae Radix, Bupleuri Radix, Scutellariae Radix, Schisandrae Fructus and Paeoniae Rubra Radix have a weight ratio of 1-5:1-5:1-5:1-3:1-3.
Abstract:
The combined mechanism of roller and shaft has a roller provided with dust and moisture proof means at both surfaces thereof that contribute to smooth operation of the mechanism for prolonged lifespan. The hollow structure of the shaft results in saving the material and fabrication costs. The shaft is successfully divided into a pivot section and an axle section with the aid of dexterously designed collar ringing the shaft at its front end and a ferrule holding the roller which is hinged to the riveted tip of the pivot section. The collar and the ferrule make the mechanism universally applicable to sectionalized lift up door for various applications, such as garage or vehicle door without the need of preparing different sized shafts to meet individual specifications.
