  • Patent number: 8892956
    Abstract: In a method for managing test results of an electronic device, the electronic device includes one or more expansion slots. The method selects a hard disk drive to insert into each expansion slot, executes a read-write test on each expansion slot, and saves test result(s) of the tests on each expansion slot into a file. Before managing the test results, the method sets a file name for each expansion slot for which test results is to be managed, and selects a test item from the read-write test. The method determines test results which expansion slots with are required to be managed and determines a test order of the expansion slots. After the test results are imported, the method amends a file name corresponding to each expansion slot according to the test order, and manages the test results of each expansion slot.

  • Publication number: 20130182230
    Abstract: A prism system and method for eliminating color aberration in an illumination system of a micro projector is disclosed. A light beam enters into a first prism through a light incident surface thereof and is further emitted through a light-emitting surface of the first prism. The light beam then enters into a second prism through a first interface thereof, passes through a second interface of the second prism and reaches a digital micromirror device (DMD). The light beam is reflected by the DMD so as to pass through the second interface and reach the first interface. The light beam is totally reflected by the first interface so as to be emitted through a third interface of the second prism. Therefore, the invention eliminates lateral color aberration that occurs in an active area of the DMD, reduces costs of illumination equipment and achieves a preferred projection effect.
