  • Publication number: 20090198387
    Abstract: The invention provides a portable computer. When a power input terminal of the portable computer is connected to a power source, a sensor senses the temperature of electronic components of the portable computer to provide a sensed temperature value. When the sensed temperature value is lower than a preset temperature value, a microprocessor controls an indication device to operate and controls the heating unit to heat the electronic components. When the sensed temperature value is higher than the preset temperature value, the microprocessor controls the indication device not to operate and controls the heating unit stop heating the electronic components.

  • Patent number: 7376850
    Abstract: A method of computer power state management. When an operating system thereof is idle and the processor thereof transits to a clock-suspended power state (C3/C4 state), an arbitrary bit is asserted to prevent requests from being passed through the Northbridge. When the processor is in the C3/C4 state, if a break event is received, the Southbridge transmits the break event to the Northbridge and changes the processor state from C3/C4 to C0 simultaneously. The break event is subsequently transmitted to the processor when the arbitrary bit is disabled.

  • Publication number: 20050047137
    Abstract: A cross-shaped laser rays generator with a non-spherical lens allows diverging laser rays emitted by a laser source to become parallel beams via being refracted by a collimator lens element and to form two orthogonal and cross-shaped laser rays via being refracted by a non-spherical lens element. Further, part of the parallel beams can pass through an undeviating rays area of the non-spherical lens element to project to the intersection point of the cross-shaped laser rays so that the cross-shaped laser rays can have a brighter central point for projecting farther distance and being recognized more easily.
