  • Patent number: 7599809
    Abstract: The present invention discloses a processor capable of alerting its life expectancy and its method. The processor is installed in an electronic device having a control circuit, a frequency divider circuit and a time counter. The control circuit is connected to the frequency divider circuit and the time counter. The frequency divider circuit receives a plurality of high frequencies from the control circuit and converts the high frequencies into a time unit. The time counter adds the time units one by one to obtain a use time. If the use time has reached a predetermined use time, the control circuit will issue a warning to indicate that the life expectancy of the processor is reached, so as to reflect the actual use time of the processor, prevent a change of use time by software, and allow users to timely take proper preventive measures before the processor exceeds its life cycle.

  • Patent number: 5703607
    Abstract: A drive circuit for displaying the partition symbol intermittently comprising at least a pair of buffers, a plurality of display units of seven-segment, a partition symbol display buffer, a control circuit, a display unit of partition symbol, is provided. The pair of buffers store a set of signals. Each of the plurality of display units of seven-segment includes a first display portion and a second display portion, and, responsive to the set of signals, the first display portion and the second display portion are enabled to display. The partition symbol display buffer has an output value. The control circuit resets and sets the partition symbol display buffer in accordance with a predetermined manner. The display unit of partition symbol, in response to the output value, displays the partition symbol intermittently.
