Abstract: A primary circuit produces a first on-pulse and a first off-pulse synchronized with a rising edge and a falling edge of an input signal, respectively. A level shift circuit produces a second on-pulse and a second off-pulse formed by shifting the voltage level of the first on-pulse the first off-pulse, respectively. A secondary circuit outputs an output pulse rising and falling in synchronization with the second on-pulse and the second off-pulse, and holds the output when both of the pulses are high. When the reference potential rises, the pulse corresponding to the state of the input signal during the rise of the second potential in the first on-pulse and the first off-pulse is regenerated and one of the second on-pulse and the second off-pulse is thereby made high after the end of the rise of the second reference potential to retransmit the state of the input signal.

Abstract: Image scanning and encoding technologies can be utilized to authenticate devices to virtual desktops and to transfer virtual desktop sessions between devices. One device (e.g., PC or laptop) may encode certain information into an image that is displayed on a display screen, while another mobile device equipped with a digital camera (e.g., mobile phone or tablet) can be used to scan the image on the display screen. Once the image is scanned, it can be decoded by the mobile device to get the information encoded in the image (e.g., device ID, session ID, etc.). The information obtained from the image can be used to authenticate a device or to transfer a virtual desktop session between the devices.

Abstract: An ejecting mechanism provides an ejecting executing portion driven by an ejecting driving portion for pushing a secondary machine out of a primary machine and for separating a secondary connector and a primary connector connected to each other. It allows the secondary machine to be ejected out of the primary machine automatically and prevents damage of the secondary connector and the primary connector caused by applying an external pulling force on the secondary machine directly. Furthermore, when a first external force overcomes a resilient driving force to push the secondary machine into a slot, the ejecting executing portion contacting with the secondary machine swings toward a rear end of a connecting surface of the primary connector. Additionally, an ejecting locking portion moving with the swing of the ejecting executing portion can be locked by a locking executing portion, such that the automatic ejection of the secondary machine is restrained.
