  • Publication number: 20120011395
    Abstract: A boot method under a boot sector failure in a hard disk is provided, which includes the following steps. First, a detection unit is utilized to determine whether a boot sector in the hard disk fails. After determining that the boot sector fails, the detection unit utilizes a second boot file stored in a solid state disk (SSD) for booting. Meanwhile, the detection unit drives a pickup head in the hard disk to skip the failed boot sector and move to a normal sector in the hard disk, so as to boot a computer and enable the hard disk to operate normally.

  • Patent number: 7961152
    Abstract: An electronic device includes a helical resilient member serving as an electrical inductance element. The electronic device also includes an antenna, a signal feeding line, and a transmitting/receiving module. The helical resilient member has first and second ends with a predetermined number of turns of coil arranged therebetween the first and second ends, and is made of electrically conductive materials so that the turns of coil defines an electrical inductance. The signal feeding line is connected between the helical resilient member and a signal feed point of the antenna. The transmitting/receiving module is connected to the helical resilient member so as to couple the inductance of the helical resilient member to the transmitting/receiving module.

  • Patent number: 7825862
    Abstract: An antenna device with a surface antenna pattern is formed either on an internal surface or on the external surface of a casing of an electronic device by film coating technology. The surface antenna pattern is either directly connected to a signal feeding line or connected to a signal feeding line through a signal guiding passage. In an embodiment, a recess is pre-formed on the external surface of the casing and then a surface antenna pattern is coated to the recess. The antenna device may further comprise an antenna coupling element arranged at the internal surface of the casing, in opposite to the surface antenna pattern. The antenna coupling element is inductively coupled with the surface antenna pattern for transceiving the signals to the electronic device.

  • Patent number: 7432866
    Abstract: Disclosed is an antenna device having a substrate, an antenna element for transceiving a wireless signal, an antenna signal feeding line for feeding the wireless signal, and an ion-implanted resonant pattern, which includes a first coupling pattern implanted in the substrate by an Ion-implantation process and a second coupling pattern formed at a position corresponding to the first coupling pattern with a predetermined distance therebetween, formed at an adjacent position with respect to the antenna element. As the antenna element transceives the wireless signal of the predetermined radiation frequency and generates an induction voltage, the first coupling pattern and the second coupling pattern each generates a coupled induction voltage and a capacitance therebetween, hence forming a resonance with the antenna element.
