  • Publication number: 20180212507
    Abstract: A multi-function power converting apparatus including an inverter circuit and a controller is provided. The inverter circuit drives a load. The controller generates a control signal according to a sampled DC voltage, a sampled AC voltage, a load current, and an output current. The controller causes the inverter circuit to enter an uninterruptible power supply mode or a grid-connected power supply mode through the control signal. Specifically, when the inverter circuit enters the grid-connected power supply mode, the multi-function power converting apparatus operates in one of a mixed real-virtual power output mode, a rectification charging mode, an active filtering mode, and an active power balancing mode.

  • Publication number: 20180041585
    Abstract: A computer system and a bus arbitration method are provided. The computer system includes a bus, a plurality of master devices, and a slave device. The master devices and the slave device are coupled to the bus. Each of the master devices determines the number of the operating master devices through the bus. When a first master device intends to access the slave device, the first master device performs a bus arbitration on the slave device and attempts to access the slave device. If the slave device is accessed successfully, the first master device does not participate in N number of times of subsequent bus arbitrations. If the slave device is accessed unsuccessfully, the first master device determines whether the slave device is released. If the slave device is released, the first master device performs a next bus arbitration and attempts to access the slave device continuously.

    Abstract: A server system and a control method for a storage unit are provided. The server system includes multiple modular devices and a connection device. The storage unit in the modular devices includes a transmission interface expander. The transmission interface expander detects whether connects a former modular device, and sets the storage unit as a slave device of the former modular device when the transmission interface expander connects the former modular device. When the transmission interface expander does not connect the former modular device, the transmission interface expander is set as a storage node and communicates to the external server, and the latter storage unit connected behind the transmission interface expander becomes a slave device of the transmission interface expander.
