  • Patent number: 7203856
    Abstract: A mobile computer with a desktop type processor. The mobile computer further includes a battery, a current sensor, and a clock generator. The battery supplies a current to the desktop type processor. The current sensor is coupled to the battery, and detects a value of the current supplied by the battery. When the value of the current achieves a standard value, the current sensor outputs a change signal. The clock generator is coupled to the current sensor and the desktop type processor respectively, and outputs a clock signal to the desktop type processor based on the change signal from the current sensor so as to change an operational frequency of the desktop type processor and the current supplied by the battery.

  • Patent number: 6694442
    Abstract: A computer system has a central processing unit (CPU), a memory, a first power management routine, a second power management routine, a clock generator, an event controller, and a system controller for implementing a bus. The system controller uses a host clock signal that determines the operating frequency of the bus. The clock generator generates the host clock signal. The first power management routine has computer code that saves state information of the computer system in the memory and that places the system controller into an idle state. The second power management routine restores the computer system using the state information stored in the memory.

  • Patent number: 6521363
    Abstract: An elastic sheet structure for the contact of a battery set used in a portable computer is provided. It comprises a positive-end elastic sheet and a negative-end elastic sheet having a central hole thereon. The size of the positive-end elastic sheet is smaller than that of the central hole of the negative-end elastic sheet. This invention may assemble several electric cells into a complete battery set for a portable computer. The special design avoids damaging the portable computer due to the misplacement of the positive end and the negative end of the electric cells of the battery set. It also provides a simple and convenient way to assemble the battery set.
