Abstract: An active start judgment circuit is electrically connected to an AC/DC transforming power supply which has at least one standby power unit to transform AC to DC in regular conditions and a main power unit to transform the AC to the DC in an ON condition for operation of an electronic equipment. The start judgment circuit bridges the standby power unit and the main power unit, and generates a reference potential based on a voltage output from the standby power unit, and gets a power signal from the standby power unit to be compared with the reference potential to output a start signal to the main power unit to transform the AC to the DC. Thus the standby power unit can actively drive the main power unit to supply DC power to activate the electronic equipment.

The frame structure further comprises: a front frame, a rear frame, a baseplate connecting the bottoms of the front frame and the rear frame, and two support bars connecting the tops of the front frame and the rear frame. The front and rear frames, the baseplate and the support bars define an accommodation space inside the frame structure and at least four installation planes encasing the accommodation space. The display panel is installed on an arbitrary installation plane and electrically connected to the motherboard to receive video signals and present images. The casing boards are installed on the other installation planes where no display panel is installed.

Abstract: An electronic device installation structure for housing an electronic device which is coupled with a signal transmission dock includes a chassis which has a housing trough to hold the electronic device. The housing trough and the electronic device have respectively a guiding track and a boss that correspond to each other. The guiding track has an inlet and a distal end that jointly define a moving displacement of the boss. The boss can be moved along the guiding track to allow the electronic device to be steadily and fully loaded into the housing trough. The electronic device and the housing trough form an interval between them in the fully loaded condition that is proximate to the thickness of the signal transmission dock so that a secure electric connection is established between the signal transmission dock and the electronic device.

Abstract: The present invention discloses a heat-dissipation structure for electronic devices, which comprises: a housing having an accommodation space accommodating at least one heat-generating element; a heat conductor arranged in the accommodation space and contacting the heat-generating element; and an electric fan arranged outside the housing. The housing has an opening corresponding to the heat conductor, and the heat conductor extends through the opening and projects from the housing. The electric fan drives an air current to flow through the part of the heat conductor extending through the opening to promote heat-dissipation efficiency.

Abstract: A quickly detached cooling fan mounting bracket for a computer, by which a cooling fan can be quickly removed away from a computer chassis without detaching any other peripheral devices, whereby a large enough computer inner space is exposed in order to facilitate rapid replacement of electrical components. The cooling fan mounting bracket includes a cooling fan receptive mount; a cooling fan; a connecting member, which allows the cooling fan receptive mount to be movably installed on the computer chassis; and a orienting member, which secures the cooling fan receptive mount and the cooling fan onto the computer chassis, and prevents the cooling fan from vibration during the normal operation. Compared with the conventional art, the present invention is easier to remove the cooling fan away from the chassis, thereby, facilitates rapid replacement or maintenance of the computer components.

Abstract: A power-managing key apparatus uses a power key to integrate the function of ACPI management of computer hardware and hibernation on/off of operation system. A processor coupled to the power key detects pressing-time parameters of the power key and a current state of the computer. The processor sends a hardware signal to emulate ACPI power button function in order to power on/off computer and awake the computer from a power saving mode. The processor sends a software signal to an operation system of the computer to disable/enable a hibernation state. Therefore, the complicated power management performed by computer hardware and operation system can be simplified.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for measuring the temperature of a computer system provides a first temperature sensor, positioned around or on a CPU, for sensing the temperature of the CPU or around the CPU. A first A/D converter is used to convert the temperature sensed by the first temperature sensor into a first temperature value. At least one second temperature sensor, positioned inside the housing, senses the temperature around the housing. At least one second A/D converter converts the temperature sensed by die second temperature sensor into a second temperature value. The first temperature value and second temperature value are input to a control circuit, and a suitable value to output a control signal for controlling the speed of the fan is chosen so as to precede the heat dissipating of the computer system.
