Abstract:
A mobile phone includes a fingerprint input unit, a storage unit, a switch unit, and a control unit. The fingerprint input unit is used to read and record fingerprint information of a user, and output the fingerprint information. The storage unit stores a fingerprint mode. The switch unit is connected to a power on/off terminal of the mobile phone. The control unit is used to receive the fingerprint information and compare the received fingerprint information with the stored fingerprint mode. If the received fingerprint information is not consistent with the stored fingerprint mode and the mobile phone is at a power-off state, the control unit outputs a first control signal to control switch unit to keep the mobile phone being at the power-off state.

An overcurrent protection device includes a power input terminal, a power output terminal, a first signal terminal, a second signal terminal, a testing circuit, and a switch element. The power input terminal and the first signal terminal are connected to a power supply. The power output terminal and the second signal terminal are connected to a computer motherboard. If the first and second terminals are disconnected from each other when the computer motherboard works, the power supply stops working. The testing circuit includes a fixed resistor and a control chip parallel connected between the power input and output terminal. The control chip stores a predetermined voltage threshold, and detects voltage between the two terminals of the fixed resistor, and compares the measured voltage with the predetermined voltage threshold. The switch element disconnects the first and second signal terminals when the measured voltage is greater than the predetermined voltage threshold.

Abstract:
A modular structural load bearing device including light-weight composite structural members each including an elongated body having at least one internal recess for a cable in the recess or series of recesses. Preassembled and presized composite support members and connectors can form a modular structure, such as a crane. When used, end pieces or other components on an end of the elongated body can secure a cable. For assembly of the structural load bearing apparatus, connectors can be used with composite structural members that are light-weight with relatively thin walls while providing enhanced benefits for resisting the combination of tension, compression and buckling forces.

Abstract:
A runout measurement system is proposed for measuring the runout of a moving surface of a device having a rotating body, such as a mass storage device (100) (e.g. a hard disk drive) having a rotor which in use includes a rotating recording medium. A sensor (102) interacting with the moving surface obtains a displacement signal. The displacement signal is sampled by a sampling unit (104) controlled by a unit (109) which initiates sampling based on both a signal indicating a ZCP and the clock signal of a high frequency (e.g. 20 MHz) clock (106). Simultaneously, the same clock (106) is used by a counter 108 to measure the spacing between one or more ZCP times. This permits the correspondence between the sampling times and the angular position of the rotor to be found with a high accuracy which depends upon the clock frequency, and thereby allows calculation of repeatable runout (RRO) and non-repeatable runout (NRRO).
