Patent number: 7782270Abstract: Disclosed is a planar inverted-F antenna with an extended grounding plane. The planar inverted-F antenna has a grounding metal plate having a selected side edge on which the extended grounding plane is formed and has a predetermined height. At least one antenna signal radiating plate is connected to the grounding metal plate by a short-circuit piece and is substantially parallel to and spaced from the grounding metal plate by a distance. A feeding point extends from the antenna signal radiating plate in a direction toward the grounding metal plate and corresponds to the extended grounding plane with a predetermined gap therebetween. With the arrangement of the extended grounding plane, the impedance matching of the antenna is improved and the impedance bandwidth of the antenna is increased.Type: GrantFiled: May 23, 2008Date of Patent: August 24, 2010Assignee: Getac Technology CorporationInventors: Shyh-Jong Chung, Ching-Wei Ling, Yu-Chiang Cheng

Patent number: 7736194Abstract: A universal electrical plug includes a first support, a second support, outer electrode slats, and inner electrode slats. An axis is defined from the second support to the first support. The outer and inner electrode slats are arranged on the second support, surround the axis, and extend to the first support in a direction parallel to the axis. The outer electrode slats are arranged on the second support and surround the inner electrode slats. Each outer electrode salt includes an outer deforming section bulged from the axis to fit insert holes of the electrical sockets with different sizes. Each inner electrode slate includes an inner deforming section depressed toward the axis to fit the electrode cores of the electrical sockets with different sizes. Through the outer and the inner electrode slats, the universal electrical plug is able to be adapted to the electrical sockets with different geometry specifications.Type: GrantFiled: July 8, 2009Date of Patent: June 15, 2010Assignee: Getac Technology CorporationInventor: Pao-Hsing Chang

Patent number: 7735098Abstract: A method for executing computer programs in accordance with a preset priority is provided. The method is applicable to a computer system connecting to a data storage, a plurality of device selection buttons, and a plurality of multimedia players. The data storage is installed with a plurality of device drivers, a plurality of device application programs, and a program execution priority table. The program execution priority table defines correspondence between the device selection buttons and the multimedia players, and the priority order of execution of the device drivers and the device application programs of the multimedia players. When the computer detects any device selection button is pressed, the computer executes the device drivers and the device application programs corresponding the multimedia player in the priority order defined by the program execution priority table.Type: GrantFiled: September 21, 2005Date of Patent: June 8, 2010Assignee: Getac Technology CorporationInventor: Yu-Chia Chang

Patent number: 7706929Abstract: A preheating control system of an information processing device and a control method thereof are described. The system includes a temperature sensing module, a first controller, a heating module, and a second controller. After receiving a power ON signal, the first controller shifts to a primary control mode and determines whether temperature of the hard disk satisfies an operating temperature scope or not. When the temperature does not satisfy the operating temperature scope, the heating module is used to heat the hard disk. When the temperature satisfies the operating temperature scope, the first controller shifts to a secondary control mode and activates the second controller to execute a boot program of the information processing device, thereby improving system stability.Type: GrantFiled: December 28, 2007Date of Patent: April 27, 2010Assignee: Getac Technology CorporationInventor: Chia-Chang Chiu

Patent number: 7650439Abstract: A falling protective device for protecting a hard disk of a falling portable computer against damages includes a falling sensor arranged in the portable computer for generating and sending an interrupt signal to a keyboard controller in response to a detected falling state of the computer. An SMI signal line is extended between and connected to the keyboard controller and a system BIOS of the computer. On receipt of the interrupt signal generated by the falling sensor, the keyboard controller sends an SMI signal via the SMI signal line to the system BIOS, which in turn sends a park control signal to park the hard disk or a power-off control signal to terminate the supply of working power to the hard disk. The system BIOS sends a polling signal via a polling signal line to the keyboard controller, so as to poll about a state signal of a default status bit in a default signal port of the keyboard controller.Type: GrantFiled: September 10, 2007Date of Patent: January 19, 2010Assignee: Getac Technology CorporationInventor: Chai-Chang Chiu
