Abstract: Methods and systems for generating an entity diagram include, in one exemplary embodiment, a user using a processor that executes the program code to generate the entity diagram. The process for generating the entity diagram includes generating an entity diagram with one or more entities and one or more relationships, grouping the one or more entities by a first dimension, and grouping the one or more entities by a second dimension. The process further includes rearranging the groups based on the grouping according to the first dimension, rearranging the entities based on the grouping according to the second dimension, and adjusting one or more relationship links corresponding to the one or more relationships. After the one or more entities and relationships are rearranged and adjusted, the user may access an updated entity diagram.

Abstract: A modularized motherboard is provided. The modularized motherboard includes a first circuit board, a second circuit board and a connecting device. The first circuit board includes a north bridge chip, a central processing unit (CPU) slot and a first connecting port. The CPU slot is coupled to the north bridge chip and is used for installing a CPU. The second circuit board is independent of the first circuit board. The second circuit board includes a second connecting port and a south bridge chip. The south bridge chip is coupled to the north bridge chip via the second connecting port the first connecting port. The connecting device is coupled between the first connecting port and the second connecting port.

Abstract: A diagnosis method for SOH of batteries includes the steps of: providing data of discharge voltages and currents of a battery unit; setting an acceptable value of a predetermined period of time and an acceptable range of variation rate of discharge current for the battery unit; calculating variation rates of discharge voltages and currents of the battery unit within the predetermined period of time by using the data of discharge voltages and currents; recording the data of discharge voltages and currents of the batteries and variation rates thereof; comparing the data of discharge voltages of the batteries and the variation rates thereof if the variation rates of discharge current are fallen within the acceptable range of current variation with selected reference data; and converting results of compared data of discharge voltages of the battery unit and the variation rates thereof into a SOH index.

Abstract: A slot device has a slot, a determining circuit, and a warning device. The slot is used to install an expansion card. The determining circuit is coupled to the slot and is used to determine whether the expansion card is completely installed to the slot. The warning device is coupled to the determining circuit, and when the determining circuit determines that the expansion card is not completely installed to the slot, the determining circuit controls the warning device to send out a warning signal.

Abstract: A mobile phone with automatic recording function includes a voice recorder realized by a digital voice recording device. The voice recorder uses a solid state nonvolatile memory as a storage medium. The voice recorder is controlled by a controller for activating and stopping voice recording. The controller automatically activates the voice recorder for voice recording without manual operation when the mobile phone starts to make phone call or starts to receive phone call. The controller automatically stops the voice recorder without manual operation when the conversation is finished, or actions to make phone call or start to receive phone call are ended. The voice record item comprises information such as dial beginning time, call-reception beginning time, conversation beginning time, conversation duration and telephone number of another party for future review and reference.

The voice recorder is controlled by a controller for activating and stopping voice recording. The controller automatically activates the voice recorder for voice recording without manual operation at a time a conversation starts. The controller automatically stops the voice recorder without manual operation at a time the conversation finishes. The voice record item includes information such as conversation beginning time, conversation duration and telephone number of another party for future review and reference.

Abstract: The present invention includes an assay useful for identifying inhibitors of Hepatitis C virus (HCV) activity. Particularly, the present invention is directed to a dual HCV assay useful for high throughput screening that quantifies both the amount of HCV RNA replication inhibitory activity associated with a test compound and the amount of cytotoxicity associated with that test compound. The present invention also includes compounds discovered using this assay, compositions containing such compounds and methods of treating Hepatitis C by the administration of such compounds. The present invention also includes reporter assays using enzymes associated with HCV RNA replication, as well as a cell line having ATTC Accession No. PTA-4583.

Abstract: A mobile phone with built-in voice recorder which can record conversation for a fixed line telephone. The voice recorder is a digital recording device. The voice recorder can record conversation of the mobile phone and externally input audio signal under control of a control unit. The mobile phone has a connecting interface for connecting a telephone adapter connected to a fixed line telephone. The telephone adapter converts a audio signal of the fixed line telephone to the mobile phone for recording.

Abstract: The present invention provides a method for switching booting devices of a computer (10). The method includes the steps of: powering on the computer, and executing basic input/output system power on self test (BIOS POST) program; trying to boot the computer from a primary booting device (14); reading a boot program (151) of a secondary booting device (15) into a particular portion of a memory (12) of the computer; determining whether the boot program of the secondary booting device is valid for normal booting of the computer; executing the boot program of the secondary booting device, if the boot program of the secondary booting device is valid for normal booting of the computer; and booting the computer from the secondary booting device. A related computer is also provided.

Abstract: A method for starting an operating system rapidly by a hotkey includes the steps of: setting a hotkey for each operating system; executing a BIOS power on self test program; determining whether any hotkey has been pressed during execution of the power on self test program; activating a disk partition section which stores an operating system corresponding to a hotkey if the hotkey has been pressed; loading a master boot record; starting the operating system stored in the activated disk partition section.
