  • Patent number: 10990511
    Abstract: An apparatus including processing circuitry and an application interface traversing method are described. The processing circuitry selects a target interface from a plurality of interfaces of an application to be tested. The target interface is associated with at least one of a control element, a sub-interface, and a parent interface. The processing circuitry obtains a first control list for the target interface. The first control list indicates whether the at least one of the control element, the sub-interface, and the parent interface has been traversed. The processing circuitry determines, based on the first control list, whether the target interface is associated with a non-traversed interface corresponding to one of the at least one of the control element, the sub-interface, and the parent interface. When the target interface is determined to be associated with the non-traversed interface, the processing circuitry selects the non-traversed interface to update the first control list.

  • Patent number: 10989204
    Abstract: An inner-rotor fan includes a hub, a retaining tube, and a magnetic ring. The retaining tube is disposed in the hub, and the magnetic ring is disposed on the retaining tube. The retaining tube and the hub are formed as a single piece, and thus the stability of the fan is increased. Moreover, the magnetic flux in an inner hole of the magnetic ring is about 0 Wb, and thus an iron ring within the magnetic ring may be excluded.
