Abstract:
An electronic device includes a personal system 2 (PS/2) port, a route selection unit, and a signal identification unit. The PS/2 port may be electronically connected to a storage device through a universal serial bus (USB) interface. The signal identification unit identifies the storage device and then sends a control command to the route selection unit. The route selection unit distributes a USB data transmission route to the storage device according to the control command, so that the electronic device can exchange data with the storage device.
Abstract:
A portable electronic device includes an audio port, a universal serial bus (USB) circuit, an audio circuit, a detecting unit, a switch, and a microcontroller. The detecting unit is connected to the audio port. The detecting unit generates a detecting signal in response to detection of either the earphone/microphone or the USB apparatus being connected to the audio port. The microcontroller is connected to the detecting unit and the switch. The microcontroller selects the audio circuit or the USB circuit to the audio port by the switch according to the detecting signal.
Abstract:
A motherboard includes a first connector, a fan device comprising a fan and a second connector connected to the fan, and a fan control circuit. The fan control circuit includes a primary power terminal connected to a first power terminal of the motherboard, a standby power terminal connected to a second power terminal of the motherboard, a voltage output terminal, and a detection terminal connected to a power state signal terminal of the motherboard to receive a power state signal. When the motherboard is turned off, the fan control circuit is configured to output the voltage of the second power terminal of the motherboard to the power terminal of the fan for a predetermined time according to the power state signal, to make the standby power terminal supply a working voltage to the fan to maintain its rotation for the predetermined duration.

An electronic device includes an audio port, a route selection unit, and an identification unit. The audio port may be electronically connected to a computer peripheral apparatus having a plug. The identification unit identifies the computer peripheral apparatus and then sends a control command to the route selection unit. The route selection unit provides a first data transmission route to the computer peripheral apparatus according to the control command, so that the electronic device can communicate with the computer peripheral apparatus.
Abstract:
A motherboard includes a switching circuit, a serial advanced technology attachment (SATA) connector, and a peripheral component interconnect x16 (PCIEx16) connector. The switching circuit is connected to the SATA connector and the PCIEx16 connector. The PCIEx16 is also connected to a serial attached small computer system interface (SCSI) (SAS) card. The switching circuit is disconnected from the PCIEx16 connector if a SATA hard disk drive (HDD) is connected to the SATA connector. The motherboard communicates with the SATA HDD through the switching circuit and the SATA connector. The switching circuit is connected to the PCIEx16 connector if the SATA connector is connected to an SAS HDD. The motherboard communicates with the SAS HDD through the SATA connector, the switching circuit, the PCIEx16 connector, and the SAS card.

Abstract:
A tap connector includes a first clamping plate and a second clamping plate pivotably connected to the first clamping plate. The first clamping plate and the second clamping plate each define a channel. A conductive blade extends from a sidewall of one channel. The channels of the first clamping plate and the second clamping plate corporately form a receiving space to accommodate a wire, after the second clamping plate is pivoted to the first clamping plate. The conductive blade pierces the wire to be electrically connected to the wire.
Abstract:
A fan device includes a board defining an opening and a fan assembly pivotably received in the opening. The fan assembly includes a fan and a frame receiving the fan. The frame includes a top wall, a bottom wall, and two sidewalls. A front plate extends down and diagonally forward from a front side of the bottom wall. A resilient limiting member is formed on one of the sidewalls. When a bottom of the fan assembly is pivoted rearward to make the fan assembly slanting relative to the board, the front plate is abutted a front side of the board, and the limiting member is abutted a rear side of the board.
Abstract:
An electronic device includes a sidewall and a fan module. The fan module includes a first support bracket mounted on an inner surface of the sidewall, a second support bracket mounted on the inner surface of the sidewall and spaced from the first support bracket, and a number of fans sandwiched between the first support bracket and the second support bracket. The sidewall, the first support bracket, the second support bracket, and the fans cooperatively bound a receiving slot for receiving cables of the electronic device. The first and second support bracket each defines a cutout adjacent to the sidewall and communicating with the receiving slot for allowing some of the cables to extend out of the receiving slot.
