Abstract: A driving apparatus and a driving method of a backlight module are provided. The backlight module includes multiple LEDs. The driving apparatus includes at least one thermal sensor, an optical sensor, and a processor. The thermal sensor is for detecting a working temperature of the LEDs. The optical sensor is for detecting brightness and color of the backlight module after a calibration function is enabled, to obtain difference values of the detected brightness and color with respect to predetermined brightness and color. The processor is for providing at least one initial thermal compensation table, to determine working currents of the LEDs associated with the working temperature. The processor further is for calibrating a content of the initial thermal compensation table corresponding with a current working temperature of the LEDs and storing the calibrated thermal compensation table as the initial thermal compensation table after the calibration function is enabled.

Abstract: A storage emulator and method thereof are disclosed. The storage emulator allows a host system to access a storage unit connected to a storage system as if the storage unit is directly coupled to the host system. The storage emulator includes a virtual storage emulating module, a storage-managing unit, and a communicating module. The virtual storage emulating module emulates at least one virtual storage unit corresponding to the storage unit on the host system and receives a storage accessing command from the host system. The storage-managing unit identifies the storage accessing command as either a self-sustaining type command or a non-self-sustaining type command. The communicating module communicates with the storage unit of the storage system via the network. If the storage accessing generates a self-sustaining command response in accordance with the storage accessing command and returns the self-sustaining command response to the host system directly.

Abstract: A ventilator includes a base, a drive device disposed on the base, an impeller coupled to the drive device and driven by the drive device, and a cover assembled with the base to define a closed area between the cover and the base for receiving a first circuit board therein, wherein when an AC power source is input to the first circuit board to be converted, a DC power source is output to drive the drive device.

Abstract: A desktop sharing and remote control system where a server and a client are connected by a USB cable. Either the server or the client includes an ASIC/CPLD/FPGA which is a PC-to-PC USB connection bridge. The ASIC/CPLD/FPGA enumerates a first standard USB mass storage device to the server and a second standard USB mass storage device to the client. The server executes a server side application program to obtain video data representing its desktop images and transmits the video data to the first emulated mass storage device, and to receive user input device data from the first mass storage device and apply them to control the server. The client executes a client side application program to obtain keyboard and mouse data and transmits the data to the second emulated mass storage device, and receive video data from the second mass storage device and applies it to a display device.

Abstract: An expansion module includes a housing, at least one first wedging device, a connecting device, and a module socket. At one side of the housing, there is at least one plugging pin. The first wedging device is located in the housing. The first wedging device corresponds to the plugging pin. The connecting device has a first connecting portion and a second connecting portion. The first connecting portion is electrically connected with the second connecting portion, and the first connecting portion and the second connecting portion are located at the two opposite sides of the housing. The module socket is located in the housing. The module socket is electrically connected with the connecting device. The user can easily uninstalled or installed the expansion module, the time is reduced, and it prevents the plugging pins of the module card from being damaged due to external force.

Abstract: A scheduling apparatus and method thereof are disclosed. The scheduling apparatus includes a command-collecting module, a sorting module and a command-executing module. The command-collecting module collects the commands issued from the host systems. The sorting module sorts the collected commands from the command-collecting module based on a plurality of data addresses. The data addresses within the storage unit are associated with the commands. The command executing module executes the sorted commands from the sorting module.

Abstract: A bathroom ventilator fan with the soft-start function includes an impeller and a motor. The motor is coupled to the impeller for driving the impeller to rotate. The motor has a control module for driving and controlling the rotation speed of the motor according to a soft-start signal. The soft-start signal includes a soft-start section and a target-driving section. The control module slowly increases the rotation speed of the motor from the soft-start section to reach the target-driving section.

Abstract: A fan housing includes a first frame and a second frame. The first frame includes a clip member protruding toward the second frame, and a limit member connected with the clip member. The limit member has a slot along the outer wall of the first frame so that a wire can pass through the slot. The second frame includes an engaging member corresponding to the clip member and having a recess to be engaged with the clip member. When the first and second frames are combined, the wire will be securely fastened in the slot.
