  • Patent number: 8448011
    Abstract: A data processing system and an adjusting method thereof are disclosed. The data processing system includes a processor, a clock generator, a monitoring module and a determining module. When a target program is processed, the monitoring module monitors a first loading level of the processor, and transmits the first loading level to the determining module for recording. Furthermore, when a present program is processed, the monitoring module monitors a second loading level of the processor, and transmits the second loading level to the determining module. The determining module determines whether the second loading level matches with the first loading level within a preset period, and if it matches, the determining module generates and transmits a control signal to the clock generator, thereby making the clock generator generates a first clock signal to the processor, so as to increase the operating frequency of the processor.

  • Patent number: 8444928
    Abstract: A method for treating waste water is provided, in which a wastewater is treated through a distilling process to obtain a distilled liquid, and then a reactant is added into the distilled liquid during the distilled liquid flowing to a liquid collecting tank, such that the reactant reacts with the distilled liquid by utilizing the residual temperature of the distilled liquid to form a processed liquid. Meanwhile, a system for wastewater treatment is also provided, which includes a distillation unit, a guiding unit, a means for adding the reactant, and a collecting unit. Since the present invention utilizes the residual temperature of the distilled liquid for the need of the reaction, an additional heat source is unnecessary, such that the consumption of energy can be greatly reduced.

  • Publication number: 20130111304
    Abstract: In a cyclic code decoding method, a decoder analyzes a received codeword to identify unreliable symbols in the codeword, and sets candidate syndrome patterns accordingly. Then, a syndrome calculator calculates evaluated syndrome values associated with one of the candidate syndrome patterns, and an error location polynomial (ELP) generator generates an ELP according to the syndrome values. An error correction device corrects the errors in the codeword according to the ELP when a degree of the ELP is not more than a threshold value, and the syndrome calculator adjusts the syndrome values and the ELP generator generates another ELP according to the adjusted syndrome values when otherwise.
