  • Patent number: 8181053
    Abstract: A power saving device is configured in an all-in-one PC and has a power module expandably composed of a plurality of Ni-MH cells linked up either in series connection or in parallel connection. When an external alternating power provides power supply for the PC, a charging circuit of the power saving device charges the power module. When the alternating power is out or the PC is operated to enter a power saving mode, a controller of the power saving device notifies the PC to enter the power saving mode, while the power module provides power for the memory and memory controller of the PC with low power consumption. The all-in-one PC consumes little power while in power saving mode and is capable of restoring to its normal mode in short time. The power saving device enhances the all-in-one PC with features of instant-on, long-time standby, and backup power provision.

  • Patent number: 8000100
    Abstract: A heat dissipating module includes a detecting component and a ventilation device. The ventilation device includes a housing whereon an opening is formed, at least one vane covering on the opening in a movable manner, and a driving unit electrically connected to the vane for driving the vane to move relative to the opening so as to adjust an aperture between the vane and the opening. The heat dissipating module further includes a fan for inhaling or exhaling airflow through the opening of the ventilation device, and a control unit electrically connected to the detecting component, the ventilation device, and the fan for controlling the driving unit to drive the fan to move relative to the opening according to a detecting result of the detecting component.
