  • Publication number: 20110119428
    Abstract: A method of duplicating data to multiple random accessible storage devices has steps of reading one segment of source data having multiple segments, continuously detecting newly-connected random accessible storage devices, duplicating same segments to all connected random accessible storage devices, stopping duplicating the source data to any random accessible storage device that has stored all segments of the source data and repeating the steps from the beginning. When duplicating the source data to all connected random accessible storage devices, same segments of the source data are written to all connected random accessible storage devices. Therefore, a single writing task is proceeded in each writing session. The source data can be written to all random accessible storage devices at high speed. Consequently, efficiency of asynchronously duplicating data to multiple random accessible storage devices is increased.

  • Publication number: 20110063955
    Abstract: A standalone duplication system with network connection has a casing, multiple recording devices, a control module, a bridge unit, a storage device and a network module, wherein the bridge unit connects between the control module, the storage device and the network module. When the bridge unit confirms that the control module has disconnected from the storage device and the network module receives a data transfer command, the storage device can receive data via the network module and store data for duplication. Therefore, the standalone duplication system is capable of receiving data from different computers over a network without using a high-end central processing unit (CPU). The standalone duplication system need not be moved to different places and connected to and disconnected from different personal computers again and again. Users operate their own personal computers to send required data to the standalone duplication system via the network.

  • Publication number: 20110019523
    Abstract: An integrated standalone optical disc duplication and labeling system has an optical disc drive, a main controller and a command module. The optical disc drive is capable of containing an optical disc and performing either a duplication capability or a labeling capability. The main controller is connected to and operates the optical disc drive. The command module is connected to the main controller and is capable of transmitting either a duplication designating command or a labeling designating command to the main controller. The duplication designating command is used to designate the optical disc drive to perform the duplication capability. The labeling designating command is used to designate the optical disc drive to perform the labeling capability. A user acquires a single standalone system that is able to perform both duplication and labeling.

  • Publication number: 20100299683
    Abstract: A burner system capable of inverting an optical disc has a control module, a burning module, a mechanical arm and an inverter. The control module controls the mechanical arm to grab the optical disc from a burner in the burning module and release the optical disc into the inverter. The optical disc passes through the inverter due to gravity, one side of the optical disc is tilted by the inverter so the optical disc is inverted. Therefore, the burner system automatically inverts the optical disc for double-sided data processing.

A metal oxide material layer is formed on the gate insulating layer. A photoresist layer is formed on the metal oxide material layer, in which a thickness of the photoresist layer above the gate is larger than that of the photoresist layer above two sides adjacent to the gate. A portion of the metal oxide material layer is removed to form a metal oxide active layer by using the photoresist layer as a mask. The photoresist layer above the two sides adjacent to the gate is removed and the remaining photoresist layer covers a portion of the metal oxide active layer. A source and a drain are formed on the metal oxide active layer covered by the photoresist layer.

  • Publication number: 20090251225
    Abstract: A digital fractional PLL introduces an accumulated phase offset before the digital VCO using a digital accumulator to achieve the fractional part of the division ratio. To provide this phase offset, the digital accumulator can integrate a fractional component ?n. By forcing ?n to zero, the PLL becomes an integer-N PLL. A de-skew timing configuration can be used to remove any time mismatch between integer and fractional counters of the PLL. A digital PLL can merge the function of frequency generation (DVCO) and that of fractional frequency counting into the same circuit block by reusing various phases of the frequency output to generate a fractional frequency count. A digital integer PLL can include a single bit comparator, wherein the feedback loop of this PLL forces the phase difference between the reference clock signal and the feedback signal to approach zero. By changing the duty cycle of feedback signal, the frequency tracking behavior of the loop can be varied.
