Abstract: A method, an apparatus, a device, and a mobile terminal for updating firmware. The method for updating firmware includes obtaining an update start command; after the update start command is obtained, reading a firmware update file from a secure data memory; and writing the firmware update file to a Flash memory. When a Secure Digital (SD) interface does not support a Secure Digital Input and Output (SDIO) function, a mobile terminal and a communication device having an SD interface can only read data in the secure data memory in units of files. In this application, special files are defined in the secure data memory to store an update start command and update data in different files. Therefore, the communication device having the SD interface can obtain the update start command from a command swap file, and obtain a firmware update file in a firmware update process to perform an update.

Abstract: The present invention relates to the field of computers and communications, and discloses a shutdown method, a startup method, and a communication terminal. The startup method includes: receiving a startup signal, where the startup signal is used to trigger a terminal to perform a startup; supplying power to components of the terminal; starting the terminal according to a first startup mode; and if the startup according to the first startup mode fails, performing a startup according to a second startup mode. The technical solution is applied to help to increase the startup speed when the terminal is powered on and started.

Abstract: Disclosed is an LED light string that uses parallel connected bypass components that are connected across the leads of the LEDs and are disposed in the socket of the LED lamp holder. The use of parallel connected bypass components across the leads of the LEDs greatly enhances the reliability of the light string. Bypass components are also included in the LED lamp structure, both internally to the LED lamp proxy and externally across the leads of the LED lamp element. A resistive wire can also be connected between conductors in an LED socket structure inside a lamp holder. Using the bypass components, twinkle lamps can be inserted in series wired LED light strings.

Abstract: Disclosed is an LED lamp assembly that allows an LED lamp to be removably replaced in a lamp holder. A solid, electrical connection is created between the LED pins and electrical terminals as well as connecting wires without soldering. An LED lamp is removably connected to a base that can be inserted in and removed from a socket that is attached to connecting wires. The LED lamp can be removed from the base for replacement of the LED lamp.
