  • Patent number: 10191883
    Abstract: An inter-integrated circuit bus arbitration system includes a first master circuit, a second master circuit, an analog switch circuit, an initial state identification circuit, and a selection control circuit. When the first master circuit is initiated to transmit data, the initial state identification circuit generates a first initial pulse signal. When the second master circuit is initiated to transmit data, the initial state identification circuit generates a second initial pulse signal. If the first initial pulse signal leads the second initial pulse signal, the selection control circuit generates a first control signal to make the analog switch circuit establish electrical connections between the first master circuit and an external data line and an external clock line when receiving the first control signal.

  • Patent number: 9936599
    Abstract: An assembly mechanism and a server system therewith are disclosed. The server system includes a casing, a first module and a second module. The first module is installed inside the casing. The second module is selectively installed inside the casing. The assembly mechanism includes a frame mechanism, a tray, a first fixing member and a handle member. The frame mechanism is disposed around the first module. The tray is combined with the second module and supports the second module above the first module cooperatively with the frame mechanism. The first fixing member is fixed on the frame mechanism. The handle member is pivoted to the tray. The handle member activates the tray to approach the first module as being rotated in a first direction. The handle member activates the tray to separate from the first module as being rotated in a second direction.

  • Patent number: 9685749
    Abstract: A cable limiting device is for connecting to a connection device of a server. The connection device includes a motherboard, a bridgeboard, and a port disposed on the bridgeboard and coupled to the motherboard. The cable limiting device includes a side plate having a longitudinal opening and a transverse slot communicated with each other, a casing, and a cable fixed in the casing. A pillar of the casing passes through the longitudinal opening to be slidably disposed through the transverse slot and be movable relative to the transverse slot for making the casing away from or close to the side plate. When the cable is connected to the port, the casing is away from or close to the side plate with movement of the pillar in the transverse slot for guiding a gold-plated terminal of the cable to be inserted into the port and establishing signal transmission via the bridgeboard.

  • Patent number: 9563346
    Abstract: After receiving at least one touch point on a touch screen, detect at least one initial position of the touch point on the touch screen. When the touch point slides away from the initial position, scroll an image displayed on the touch screen according to at least one sliding action of the touch point. Then detect the number of the touch points on the touch screen, and update a scrolling rate of the image displayed on the touch screen according to the number of the touch points moving on the touch screen. The scrolling rate of the image is directly proportional to the number of the touch points moving on the touch screen.
