Abstract:
A retaining member (50) is used for locking a drive (30) within a housing. The retaining member includes a drive, a housing and a pair of wire members (51) and a pair of latch members (53). The wire members are formed of resilient material and are attached to opposite sides of the drive. The latch member includes a securing portion (531) and a flexible locking portion (533). The locking portion extends from the securing portion and away from the drive. A locking tab (5331) is formed on the locking portion that engages the housing. Each wire member helps secure one securing portion to the drive with one end thereof.
Abstract:
A system for automatically testing motherboards includes a test server (1), client computers (2), and a network (5) connecting the test server with the client computers. The test server is for storing a plurality of high-level OSs (Operating Systems), test programs and test script files, for setting contents of test configuration files, and for storing test results. Each client computer has a motherboard installed therein, and is operated under a DOS (Disk Operating System). The client computer downloads and installs a high-level OS from the test server, downloads and installs one or more test programs and a test script file according to a test configuration file set by the test server, executes the test script file to auto-run test programs in a sequence specified in the test configuration file, and then transmits test results to the test server.
Abstract:
The present invention concerns a method for controlling the operation of an automotive HVAC system. The HVAC system includes at least a refrigerant compressor and a refrigerant evaporator. The method includes the steps of calculating an ambient air enthalpy value; comparing the calculated ambient air enthalpy value to at least one predetermined enthalpy value; and selectively changing the operation of the refrigerant compressor based on the comparison.
Abstract:
A system for initializing hardware of a computer system includes a board support package (BSP) (20) and a ROM monitor (30). The BSP includes: a basic initialization module (21) for initializing a CPU, a Flash, etc.; an advanced initialization module (22) for initializing serial ports, an Ethernet, etc., for configuring parameters related to system operation and an interrupt service program; a function library (23) for storing various functions for performing configuration and modification of parameters of the hardware; and a boot loader (24) for determining whether parameters of the hardware need to be configured, and for booting an operating system or the ROM monitor based on the determination. The ROM monitor includes a command line editor (31) for inputting commands by users, a command translator (32) for translating the commands into computer-readable instructions, and a function invoking module (33) for invoking functions from the function library based on the instructions.
Abstract:
An apparatus for heating the interior compartment of a vehicle, the apparatus has a primary heating system, a secondary heating system and an operating system. The primary heating system receives and circulates an engine coolant through a heater core. The secondary heating system receives and circulates a gas, the secondary heating system heats the gas and circulates the heated gas through a heat exchanger. The operating system for operating the heating systems, the operating system receives a plurality of inputs and in response to the inputs the operating system determines which of the heating systems is to be activated in response to a heating request. The operating system also determines whether or not to deactivate one or both of the heating systems.
Abstract:
An apparatus and system for manipulating the air temperature within an interior compartment of a vehicle, the apparatus and system includes a HVAC system and an operating system. A compressor receives and circulates a gas through a heat exchanger in order to regulate the air within the vehicle. The compressor has a capacity control valve that is manipulated by the control system in response to a user setting.
Abstract:
A method for identifying hard disks connected to one or more ports of a computing device. The computing device comprises a controller. A first serial-number of each of the hard disks read by the controller is received. A second serial-number corresponding to each drive letter of the hard disk assigned by an operating system of the computing device is read. The first serial-number and the second serial-number is compared to determine associations between the drive letters and the hard disks. The associations are displayed on a display device connected to the computing device.
Abstract:
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.
Abstract:
An enclosure comprises a chassis, a front panel installed on the chassis, and a cover. The front panel defines an opening. Two mounting board are located on the front panel. Each of the two mounting board defines a first slots. The cover comprises a base wall and two sidewalls located on opposite sides of the base wall. A first latching portion is located on the sidewall. The first latching portion is slidabaly engaged in the first slot. The cover is slidable relative to the front panel to the base wall covering the opening or uncovering the opening.
Abstract:
A method for testing hard disks under an extensible firmware interface (EFI) provides a device tree of hard disks. Nodes of the device tree represent block devices or file systems of the hard disks. Devices paths and handles corresponding to each of the device paths are obtained from the device tree. Parent controller handles of each of the device paths are obtained. If there are parent controller handles the same as the obtained handles, the parent controller handles the same as the obtained handles are deleted. The computer determines that a number of the hard disks is equal to a number of the device paths corresponding to the remained parent controller handles. Nodes information of each of the device paths corresponding to the remained parent controller handles are determined as hard disk information of each of the hard disks.
