Abstract:
A data protection method for a portable electronic device and a computer program product for the same are applicable to a portable electronic device operating on a Linux operating system. A storage region of the portable electronic device is partitioned to provide a specific partition for storing data to be protected. The specific partition will be mounted, and the data to be protected will be displayed, only if the data to be protected contains an execution command, otherwise the specific partition will be unmounted. Hence, the specific partition is only available when it is confirmed that the data to be protected contains an execution command. Accordingly, unspecific commands, such as file browsing, cannot enable the mounting of the specific partition, thereby hiding the specific partition and enhancing the security of the data to be protected.
Abstract:
A current measurement system precisely measures a current generated by a circuit under test. The current measurement system has a sampling unit serially connected to the circuit under test for the acquisition of a first voltage. The first voltage is amplified and transformed to a second voltage by an amplifying unit. A noise suppression unit filters analog voltage noises produced from the second voltage and transforms the second voltage to a third voltage. The third voltage is converted into a voltage signal in a digital format by a conversion unit. The voltage signal undergoes calibrations and turns into a measure signal by using a processing unit and a stored calibration linear equation. The measure signal indicates a precise measurement of the current. A memory unit stores a gradient and a bias voltage level required for the calibration linear equation.
Abstract:
A HomePlug includes a body, a power socket, and a network port. The body has an installation region, an insertion region, and an operation region defined on a side surface of the body. The power socket is disposed on the insertion region and has a central point. The network port is disposed on the operation region and spaced apart from the central point by a specific distance. Accordingly, not only is the HomePlug convenient to manipulate, but a network cable connected to the HomePlug is also unlikely to bend, even though the HomePlug is installed at an electric outlet positioned proximate to the ground.
Abstract:
A HomePlug having a panel replacement structure includes a HomePlug body and a panel. The HomePlug body has an operation side and a network port. The operation side has an insertion portion and a first coupling portion. The panel has an opening and second coupling portion. The second coupling portion can be coupled to the first coupling portion so as to allow the opening to correspond in position to the insertion portion. Changes in the appearance of the HomePlug are brought about by panel replacement. A heat dissipation vent is disposed at the junction of the operation side and an adjacent side, such that heat dissipation takes place at the adjacent side-neighboring portion of the heat dissipation vent when the panel is coupled to the operation side and covers the operation side.
Abstract:
An overvoltage protection circuit and a portable electronic device having the same are introduced. The overvoltage protection circuit provides overvoltage protection when an input voltage exceeds a rated voltage tolerable by an internal circuit unit in the portable electronic device. A reference voltage and a partial voltage are generated from the input voltage through a voltage limiting unit and voltage dividing module, respectively, and conveyed to a comparing module for comparison. Comparison of the reference voltage and the partial voltage is followed by generation of a switch signal whereby a switch unit determines whether to apply the input voltage to the internal circuit unit. The voltage dividing module sets the maximum rated voltage tolerable by the internal circuit unit and enables the overvoltage protection circuit to give overvoltage protection to the portable electronic device regardless of temperature.
Abstract:
An electromagnetic shielding cover and a device having the same are introduced. The device comprises a casing and is coupled to a base having a printed circuit board on which an electronic component is mounted. The casing is defined with a receiving region. The electromagnetic shielding cover is disposed within the receiving region and coupled thereto. The electromagnetic shielding cover is marked with a plurality of peripheral folding lines. The electromagnetic shielding cover is folded along the peripheral folding lines by an angle to form a plurality of walls and a shielding space. Coupling the casing and the base together allows the electromagnetic shielding cover to shield an electronic component mounted on the circuit board and received in the shielding space, thereby shielding the electronic component from electromagnetic interference. The electronic component can be easily changed and tested during a rework process.

The mother body includes two installation units. The snap-engagement structure includes a key unit, fastening units, and a first restoring unit. The key unit and the fastening units move relative to each other in different directions to effectuate enhanced snap-engagement, watertightness, and miniaturization.
Abstract:
An assembled electromagnetic shielding case conducive to electromagnetic interference shielding and heat dissipation of an electronic component on a printed circuit board includes a body, a shielding element, and a fixing element. The body has an opening and an engagement portion. The engagement portion connects the body and the printed circuit board. The shielding element has a bottom side and a heat-dissipating side opposing thereto. The shielding element closes the opening for effectuating electromagnetic interference shielding. The shielding element dissipates heat generated from the electronic component by transferring the heat from the bottom side to the heat-dissipating side for dissipating the heat. The fixing element couples the body and the shielding element. Accordingly, with the assembled electromagnetic shielding case, not only is the electronic component insusceptible to electromagnetic interference and easy to change, but it is feasible to provide highly efficient heat dissipation and a miniaturized heat dissipation structure.

A method for laying out a printed circuit board for use in a gigabit-capable passive optical network includes the steps of providing a printed circuit board and laying out an analog circuit module, an analog-to-digital conversion module, a signal processing module, an optoelectronic transmitting and receiving module, and a power module on the printed circuit board. The printed circuit board has a first periphery and an opposing second periphery. The analog circuit module and the optoelectronic transmitting and receiving module are laid out at the first periphery of the printed circuit board. The power module is laid out at the second periphery of the printed circuit board. Electromagnectic wave generated by a power IC inserted in the power module does not interfere with data transmission taking place at the optoelectronic transmitting and receiving module. Furthermore, a printed circuit board for use with the method is proposed.
