  • Publication number: 20070204088
    Abstract: A modularized circuit board bus connection control method and system is proposed, which is designed for use with a computer platform, such as a blade server, for providing a bus connection control function when connected to a modularized circuit board, such as a server module; which is characterized by the capability of using an enable signal activating voltage from a built-in enablement setting circuit in the blade server for bus connection control, such that if the server module is well electrically connected to the blade server, the bus will be switched to a connected state; and otherwise, if poorly connected, the bus will be maintained in the disconnected state to isolate the server module from the blade server. This feature can help prevent the blade server to waste much time and system resource in handling the condition of poor electrical connection and thus ensure the overall system performance.

  • Publication number: 20050283818
    Abstract: A data stream recorder system, for multi-stream recording and retrieval of utilizes a number of gateways, each for sending and receiving packets containing streaming multimedia content data at real-time rates via a packet data network. A session manager communicates via the network with source client devices and receiver client devices, to establish and control recording and retrieval sessions. The manager assigns sessions to the gateways for the sending and receiving of the packets to and from client devices. Content is distributed across storage devices associated in storage nodes. Each of the gateways receives packets containing content data at real time rates during a recording session and distributes the received packets from the session across all of the storage nodes. A scheduler of each respective storage node distributes content data from packets distributed to the respective storage node, across all of the digital storage devices of the respective storage node.

  • Patent number: 6910079
    Abstract: Systems and techniques are provided for using a multi-threshold buffer model to smooth data transmission to a client. A client to receive data such as streaming media data may include a buffer. A server to transmit data to the client may transmit the data to the client at a first server transmission rate. The client buffer level may be determined at different times; for example, a first buffer level may be determined at a first time and a second buffer level may be determined at a second time. If the buffer level is at a threshold level or has passed a threshold level between the first and second times, server transmission rate information may be determined and may be sent to the server.

  • Patent number: 6762926
    Abstract: The energy content of supercapacitor is determined by its capacitance value and working voltage. To attain a high capacitance and a high voltage, several pieces of electrodes and separators are spirally wound with edge sealing to form a bipolar supercapacitor in cylindrical, oval or square configuration. While the winding operation effectively provides a large surface area for high capacitance, the bipolar packaging instantly imparts a unitary roll a minimum working voltage of 5V on using an organic electrolyte. The bipolar roll is a powerful building block for facilitating the assembly of supercapacitor modules. Using containers with multiple compartments, as many bipolar rolls can be connected in series, in parallel or in a combination of the two connections to fabricate integrated supercapacitors with high energy density as required by applications.

  • Publication number: 20040124865
    Abstract: Due to the test current and the test temperature of the wafer-level reliability depend on each other in those conventional arts, the result of electromigration etc is not sure cause of the test current or the test temperature and debases the reliability of the test result. In the present invention, the electromigration test and the stress migration test of the wafer-level reliability are independently controlled, respectively. Therefore, the cause of electromigration and the stress migration can be sure resulting from the test current or the test temperature respectively. Furthermore, the isothermal heater of the present invention not only can keep a whole test wafer at a more uniform test temperature, but also can offset the electromagnetism resulted from the current of the isothermal heater by the arrangement of circuits thereof for reducing the effect of the electromagnetism.
