Abstract: A probe head includes a probe seat, and vertical probes each having a head portion including a head portion installation section with a first width, and a probe tip section including a probe tip contact part with a second width smaller than the first width and a probe tip gradually narrowing part which is located between the head portion installation section and the probe tip contact part, gradually narrows from the first width to the second width, and has a first length smaller than a second length of the probe tip contact part. The head portion installation section protrudes out of a lower surface of the probe seat for a length smaller than the sum of the first and second lengths. The vertical probe is great in current withstanding capability, structural strength and life time, and meets the requirement of probing tiny electrically conductive contacts.

Abstract: A channel hiatus correction method for an HDMI device is provided. A recovery code from scrambled data of the stream is obtained. A liner feedback shift register (LFSR) value of channels of the HDMI port is obtained based on the recovery code and the scrambled data of the stream. The stream is de-scrambled according to the LFSR value of the channels of the HDMI port. Video data is displayed according to the de-scrambled stream.

Abstract: A keyswitch structure includes a base, a keycap, a first support, a second support, and a connection structure. The keycap moves up and down relative to the base through the first support and the second support. The connection structure is disposed on the base and includes a vertical-motion limiting part and a horizontal-motion limiting part. The first support includes a rod-shaped connection portion and is connected to the connection structure through the rod-shaped connection portion. The vertical-motion limiting part prevents the rod-shaped connection portion from vertically moving. The horizontal-motion limiting part limits the horizontal movement of the rod-shaped connection portion. The vertical-motion limiting part and the horizontal-motion limiting part are separated in the rotation axis of the rod-shaped connection portion.
