  • Patent number: 7912495
    Abstract: A wireless communication system transmits and receives electronic voice signals between a wireless communication device and a wireless networking device at a call bitrate stored in the wireless communication device. By using the call bitrate when transmitting and receiving call signals, the wireless communication system is able to eliminate delays in the call signals caused if the signal becomes worse.

  • Patent number: 7849249
    Abstract: A mother-board includes a chipset, a switch, and first and second PCI Express X16 graphics interfaces. The switch has first and second switch circuits. The switch selectively turns on one of the first and second switch circuits according to a control signal. The first PCI Express X16 graphics interface has former eight lanes electrically connected to the chipset, and latter eight lanes selectively electrically connected to the chipset through the first switch circuit. The second PCI Express X16 graphics interface has former eight lanes selectively electrically connected to the chipset through the second switch circuit. When the first switch circuit is turned on, 16 lanes of the first PCI Express X16 graphics interface are electrically connected to the chipset. When the second switch circuit is turned on, the former eight lanes of the second PCI Express X16 graphics interface are electrically connected to the chipset.

  • Publication number: 20080022158
    Abstract: A self-testing message displaying system suitable for a computer is provided. The computer has multiple hardware devices, and the basic input/output system performs a power on self-test sequence on the computer and outputs a self-testing code when one of the hardware devices is error. The self-testing message displaying system includes a mother board and a display device. The mother board having a memory is disposed in the computer, and the memory stores the device codes corresponding to the hardware devices. The display including an on screen display control device is electrically connected to the mother board and used to store the on screen display symbols corresponding to the codes of the hardware devices. The on screen display control device is capable of accessing the device codes corresponding to the self-testing codes from the memory, such that the display device displays the on screen display symbols corresponding to the device codes.

  • Patent number: 7234971
    Abstract: A motherboard includes a PCI Express slot and a chipset. The PCI Express slot has four sidewalls; a topside of the PCI Express slot has a first aperture, and one of the four sidewalls has a second aperture. The first and second apertures are connected together in order to form an accommodation space for accepting an interface card. The chipset is electrically connected to the PCI Express slot. The interface card communicates with the chipset through the PCI Express slot.
