  • Publication number: 20170126554
    Abstract: A network system includes a terminal device, a first router, a second router, a first border router, a second border router and a server. The server transmits an updating software to the first and the second border routers through an Internet network. The first border router transmits the updating software to the first router and the second border router transmits the updating software to the second router. The first router transmits the updating software to the terminal device and the second router transmits the updating software to the terminal device. When a version information of the updating software received from the first router and that received from second router are identical, the terminal device executes the updating software. When the version information of the updating software received from the first router and that received from the second router are different, the terminal device does not execute the updating software.

  • Patent number: 8129941
    Abstract: A multi-voltage power supply includes a transformer connecting to an AC power source to regulate voltage and deliver voltage-transformed electric power, a rectification output circuit connecting to the transformer to rectify the voltage-transformed electric power and output first DC power, and at least one voltage regulation circuit to receive the first DC power from a first DC power output line and regulate to become second DC power. The first DC power on the first DC power output line reaches a first potential after a voltage boosting period. The rectification output circuit has a rear end installing a hysteresis unit which adds a delay time in the voltage boosting period to defer the time of the first DC power reaching the first potential. Thereby the time difference between delivering DC power output of the first DC power and the second DC power can be regulated to avoid abnormal start of computers.

  • Patent number: 7415631
    Abstract: A backup-type power supply system aims to integrate power output according to different potentials through different power supply modules. Each power supply module includes backup-type N+1 power supply devices and an independent power balance unit to output power in a balanced fashion so that users can add the power supply module of independent potential according requirements. Thereby transformation power loss of the power supply devices can be reduced. The power supply devices can be designed with different specifications and dimensions corresponding to different electronic devices.

  • Patent number: 7263374
    Abstract: A method of changing the setting of mobile unit by broadcasting message is provided. Firstly, the broadcaster codes the setting information into an application program via message editing such. Then, the message is broadcasted to associated mobile units according to the numbering of the mobile unit. When the starting time is up, the original setting of the mobile unit will be shifted to a situational setting according to the setting information; whereas when the finishing time is up, the situational setting will be shifted back to the original setting and all previous settings will be restored. Lastly, the system terminal receives and writes the mobile phone information into a registry, then broadcasts the setting information to the mobile phone within the specific area, enabling the mobile phone to change relevant settings accordingly. Mobile phones outside the specific area cannot receive the broadcasting signal and will not be affected.
