  • Publication number: 20250135465
    Abstract: An inclined automatic paper shredder with structure for facilitating multi-stage staple removal from a stack of to-be-shredded paper. The shredder includes a paper pressing part arranged on a lower surface of a cover plate to press against the stack of paper disposed on a paper holding part. A staple removing plate is pivotally connected to an upper surface of the cover plate and can be opened in a first rotational direction. The staple removing plate rests in its the closed state on the upper surface of the cover plate and in its open state. The staple removing plate may rotate to abut against the stacked to-be-shredded paper on the paper holding plate and removes the staples on the stacked to-be-shredded paper.

  • Patent number: 10840937
    Abstract: A server utilizes a BMC to divide a video source signal into original analog and digital component signals, and stores the digital component signal in a set of registers of a duplicator. An ADC converts the original analog component signal into a converted digital component signal, which is stored in another set of registers of the duplicator. A switch set of the duplicator is switched to output a pair of the converted and the original digital component signals. One DAC converts the converted digital component signal into a converted analog component signal, which together with the original digital component signal, serves as a duplicated video signal.
