Abstract: An electronic device having an antenna comprises a first metal casing, a second metal casing, a first hinge, a second hinge, and a first dipole antenna. A first slot antenna structure having a first half-wavelength resonant mode is constituted by the first hinge, the first metal casing, the second hinge and the second metal casing. The width of a first middle portion of the first slot antenna structure is narrower than the widths of the two end portion. The first dipole antenna unit located in the middle portion of the first slot antenna structure has a second half-wavelength resonant mode. The first dipole antenna is for exciting the first half-wavelength resonant mode. Accordingly, the antenna can be integrated with the hinges of the electronic device.

Abstract: A system and method of using a baseboard management controller (BMC) to detect a fault on a communication bus. The BMC is connected to and monitors the operation of the communication bus. The BMC automatically detects a communication bus hang and reports bus hang to the host. The BMC attempts to access the communication bus. If the BMC can access the communication bus, the BMC then resets all of the devices connected to the communication bus. The BMC then attempts to contact components connected to the devices. If a component is not accessible via its communication device, the BMC blocks the channel used by the component and reports that information. Once the BMC detects that the component has been removed, the BMC attempts to recover the channel via the I2C/SM bus for use by the computer network.
