Abstract:
In some implementations, a hard drive carrier is configured to couple and decouple a hard drive to/from a chassis (e.g., motherboard). The hard drive carrier can receive and house a hard drive in a base securing portion, the base securing portion adapted to slide and tilt in relation to a base of the hard drive carrier. The hard drive carrier can include a pivoting lever comprising a handle that can be used to couple and decouple the hard drive from the motherboard. Using the handle to pivot the lever into an open position causes the hard drive to tilt upwards to decouple from the chassis and facilitate insertion or removal of the hard drive to/from the hard drive carrier. Pivoting the lever into a closed position causes the hard drive to lie flat and couple to the chassis.
Abstract:
A rack server system and an auto-addressing method thereof are disclosed. The rack server system comprises a plurality of backplanes and a rack management controller (RMC). The backplanes comprise a plurality of inter-integrated circuit (I2C) switches. The RMC comprises an I2C channel connected to the backplanes. When the RMC initializes the backplanes, the RMC controls a plurality of reset signals to be an enable level to reset the I2C switches, and automatically addresses a plurality of different I2C device addresses to the I2C switches. The RMC changes the reset signals to be a disable level from the enable level after the RMC addressed the I2C switches.
Abstract:
A server device includes a tray having a lug, a hard disk unit removably disposed on the tray, and a handle pivotally connected to two opposite sides of the hard disk unit. The lug is formed with a slot thereon to define two inner edges opposite to each other. The handle is provided with a protrusion arranged in the slot. When the handle is rotated towards one end of the hard disk unit, the protrusion is rotated along with the handle to contact and push one of the inner edges of the lug, such that the hard disk unit is restrained by the tray after the hard disk unit is slid in relative to the tray.
Abstract:
An electronic device is provided. When the electronic device is at a power exhaustion state and a first external device with a charging function is coupled to a connection interface to provide a first supply voltage to a power pin of the connection interface, a voltage regulation unit transforms the first supply voltage to a first operation voltage, and a storage unit powered by the first operation voltage outputs device information of the electronic device to the first external device through a signal transmitting/receiving pin set of the connection interface. When the first external device provides a second supply voltage to the power pin in response to the device information, the electronic device enters a charging mode. In the charging mode, the charging unit provides a charging voltage according to the second supply voltage to charge the battery unit and provides a second operation voltage to a processing unit.
Abstract:
A portable electrical device includes a tablet computer, a base panel, two supporting arms and two connecting members. Two ends of each supporting arm are pivotally disposed at one lateral side of the tablet computer and one lateral side of the base panel. The base panel has two guiding grooves oppositely arranged on one surface thereof. One end of the connecting member is pivoted with the lateral side of the tablet computer, and the other end of the connecting member is limited and slidably disposed in one of the guiding grooves. When the other ends of both the connecting members are at one distal end of the guiding groove, the tablet computer is stacked on the base panel, and a touch-controlled display of the tablet computer can alternatively face towards or opposite to the base panel.
Abstract:
A method for controlling a wearable device includes the steps of: providing the wearable device which includes a sensor; detecting and recording movement data relative to the wearable device via the sensor; determining whether the wearable device has triggered a start condition; if the start condition has been triggered, analyzing the movement data; determining whether a user has finished putting on the wearable device according to the analyzed movement data; and if the user has finished putting on the wearable device, determining whether the wearable device is worn on a left side or a right side of the user according to the analyzed movement data.
Abstract:
A portable electronic device includes a tablet PC, a base panel and two supports. Two opposite ends of each support are respectively pivoted to the tablet PC and the base panel through a first pivotal portion and a second pivotal portion. The second pivotal portion includes a shaft rod fastened on one end of the support, a retractable spring, a fixed cam fastened on the base panel, and a rotary cam. The retractable spring, the fixed cam and the rotary cam are sleeved on the shaft rod. The fixed cam includes three first peaks, and a first cave is formed between any two of the first peaks. The rotary cam is rotated along the supports, abutted against the fixed cam and the retractable spring. The rotary cam includes three second peaks, and a second cave is formed between any two of the second peaks.
Abstract:
An antenna structure includes a ground plane, a feeding element, and a coupling radiation element. The feeding element is coupled to a signal source. The feeding element substantially has a T-shape. The coupling radiation element is separate from the feeding element and is adjacent to the feeding element. The coupling radiation element is further coupled to the ground plane and at least partially surrounds the feeding element.
Abstract:
The tool-less hard disk carrier is provided and configured to accommodate a hard disk. The hard disk has a first screw hole and a second screw hole respectively located at two sides of the hard disk. The tool-less hard disk carrier includes a housing, a moving part, a first pin, and a second pin. The housing includes a first sidewall and a bottom board connected to each other. The moving part has a sliding portion and an abutting portion connected to each other. The sliding portion is slidably engaged with the bottom board. The abutting portion is bent relative to the sliding portion to face the first sidewall. The abutting portion and the housing define an accommodating space, and the accommodating space is configured to accommodate the hard disk.
Abstract:
A touch apparatus and touch method using the same. The apparatus includes: driving lines, sensing lines, a driving module, a sensing module, a determination module, and a detection module. The sensing lines are intersected with the driving lines to form intersection points. The driving module outputs pulse signals to the driving lines. The pulse signal includes at least three sub-periods in a period. The pulse signal has a sub-pulse signal in each of the sub-periods, and the sub-pulse signals respectively correspond to different phases. The sensing module receives the pulse signals from the sensing lines via the intersection points, and generates digital values corresponding to the sub-pulse signals of each pulse signal. The determination module determines whether the sub-pulse signals are interfered by noise according to the digital values. The detection module determines the position at which the touch event is triggered according to the sensing signals.
