  • Patent number: 8077827
    Abstract: A method for measuring the thickness of a first absorbing material in the presence of a second absorbing material is provided. The method comprises the steps as follow. The thickness (tS) of the first absorbing material is fixed and the thickness of the second absorbing material is varied to obtain a calibration standard. The intensity of the transmissive energy passing through the calibration standard is detected by acquiring multiple pairs of image data comprising a foreground value (logn(Ic+s)) and a background value (logn(Ic)). The thickness (tSi) of the first absorbing material is changed and the above steps are repeated to obtain sets of image data. A fitting constant Id is determined to describe each set of the intensity data as ? s ? ? t S = log n ? ( I c + I d ) - log n ? ( I c + s + I d ) .

  • Patent number: 8078702
    Abstract: A method for detecting a node of a server device includes the following steps. When a node performing a boot procedure at a server slot is detected, a serial number of the node and a slot ID of the server slot are obtained. Then, a step is performed to determine whether the serial number exists in a first data row of a comparison list, and whether the first data row is corresponding to the slot ID. When the first data row is not corresponding to the slot ID, a data address recorded in the first data row is moved to a second data row corresponding to the slot ID. When not existing in the first data row, the serial number is used to update a third data row corresponding to the slot ID, and the data pointed by a data address recorded in the third data row are deleted.

  • Patent number: 8074114
    Abstract: A motherboard error detection system includes a pluggable error detection board and a motherboard having a boot management chip. When the motherboard enters a device-driven status from a standby status, the boot management chip is used to manage power-on timings of different voltage sources; to collect a plurality of sets of status information; and to check whether the sets of status information and the power-on timings have errors. The pluggable error detection board includes an interpreting unit, a message-reading interface and a connector which is pluggably disposed on the motherboard. When the boot management chip notifies the pluggable error detection board to read an error message, the interpreting unit converts the error message to human-readable information, and the human-readable information is outputted through the message-reading interface.
