  • Publication number: 20070206312
    Abstract: A hard disk protection system detects an X-axis travel, a Y-axis travel, and a Z-axis travel of a hard disk, and converts them into travel signals to calculate whether a threshold value is reached through the travel signals an algorithm. Reaching the threshold value indicates that the hard disk shakes heavily and the operation of the hard disk should be aborted. Then, a control module is required to send an interrupt signal informing a process module to abort reading the hard disk, so as to prevent the hard disk from being damaged due to the over-high shaking speed.

  • Publication number: 20070046520
    Abstract: An electronic circuit structure uses an analog-to-digital conversion concept for saving circuit pins and installs a control circuit on a main board, and the control circuit includes a processor, an analog-to-digital converter circuit, a power supply circuit and an ID generator circuit; wherein the power supply circuit is connected separately to the processor, the analog-to-digital converter circuit, and the ID generator circuit for providing a stable operating power supply; the analog-to-digital converter circuit is connected to the ID generator circuit for receiving a voltage divide power produced by the ID generator circuit and converting the voltage divide power into a digital machine ID; and the analog-to-digital converter circuit is connected to the processor for sending the machine ID. After the processor obtains the machine ID, the processor can analyze and determine the hardware configuration represented by the voltage divide power for the main board to carry out the booting operation.
