Abstract: An RS-485 port test apparatus includes an RS-485 connector, a micro control unit (MCU), a multiprotocol transceiver, and a display. The RS-485 connector receives a first test code signal from a test RS-485 port of an electronic device. The multiprotocol transceiver receives the first test code signal from the RS-485 connector, converts the first test code signal to a second test code signal which can be identified by the MCU, and transmits the second signal to the MCU. The MCU receives the second test code signal and displays the second test code signal by the display. The MCU sends back the second test code signal to the multiprotocol transceiver. The multiprotocol transceiver converts the second test code signal to the first test code and transmits the first test code to the test RS-485 port of the electronic device through the RS-485 connector.

Abstract: A test card includes a power interface, a controller, a test interface, and a test point. The test interface includes a power pin, a start pin, and a data signal pin. The power interface is connected to the controller and the power pin, and also connected to an external power to receive a work voltage. The controller transmits a turn-on signal to the start pin. The test point is connected to the data signal pin. When an interface of a motherboard is connected to the test interface, the power pin, the start pin, and the data signal pin are connected to corresponding pins of the interface of the motherboard. The motherboard outputs a data signal to the test point through the motherboard interface and the test interface after the controller receives the turn-on signal.

Abstract: A power on self test card includes a connector module, a logic unit, a microchip, and a display module. The connector module includes a first connector, a second connector, and a third connector. The connector module enables the power on self test card to electrically connect to different types of low pin count buses on various motherboards via either the first connector, the second connector, or the third connector.

Abstract: A testing system includes a computer system and an enhanced small form-factor pluggable (SFP+) transceiver. The computer system send a testing data to the SFP+ transceiver via an SFP+ interface to be tested. The SFP+ transceiver includes a loopback address and receives the testing data and returns the testing data to the computer system via the loopback address. The computer system compares the returned testing data and the testing data it sends to determine whether or not there is data loss occurring.

Abstract: A stabilized platform system includes a platform, a chassis subject to external vibration, first and second servomechanisms fixed to the chassis, first support having an end rotatably coupled to the first servomechanism and an other end rotatably coupled to the platform, a second support having an end rotatably coupled to the second servomechanism and an other end rotatably coupled to the platform, a third support having an end fixed relative to one of the chassis and an other end rotatably coupled to the platform, one or more sensors fixed to the platform, and a controller coupled to the one or more sensors and the first and the second servomechanisms. The controller causes the servomechanisms to adjust the inclination angles of the platform to maintain a desired orientation of the platform.

Abstract: A POST card includes a PCI connector, an LPC connector, a controller, and an indicating module. The controller includes a PCI decoder, an LPC decoder, a multiplexer, and a driver. The POST card connects to and reads error codes from a computer motherboard by the PCI connector or the LPC connector depending on which type of interface the computer motherboard has. The PCI decoder is activated and decodes the error codes read through the PCI connector. The LPC decoder is activated and decodes the error codes read through the LPC connector. The multiplexer connects the driver to the PCI decoder or the LPC decoder to transmit the error code to the driver depending on which one of the PCI connector and the LPC connector is connected to the computer motherboard. The driver drives the indicating module to display the error codes.

Abstract: A method for monitoring a burn-in procedure of an electronic device is performed by a host computer, an external storage device, and a display device. The external storage device stores the burn-in procedure and a monitor procedure. The host computer copies the monitor procedure to the at least one electronic device and activates the monitor procedure. The monitor procedure activates the burn-in procedure for the electronic device and determines a state of the burn-in procedure. The monitor procedure then outputs a monitor result corresponding to the state of the burn-in procedure into the display device. The display device displays the monitor result.
