  • Publication number: 20120112715
    Abstract: A snubber circuit for decreasing a voltage spike of a buck converter includes a resistor unit, a capacitor unit, a detecting unit, and a control unit. The resistor unit provides multiple groups of resistance values. The capacitor unit provides multiple groups of capacitance values. The detecting unit detects voltage spikes of the buck converter corresponding to each group of resistance values and capacitance values. The control unit selects each group of resistance and capacitance to respectively connect to the buck converter and determines a group of resistance and capacitance corresponding to a lowest voltage spike by comparing the detected voltage spikes with each other.

  • Publication number: 20120108202
    Abstract: A security system and method for an electronic device include comparing data in a Subscriber Identity Module (SIM) card with data in a virtual SIM card, if the virtual SIM card is not blank. The security system further include determining whether the electronic device has received a command of reporting loss of the SIM card from the network server, if the data in the SIM card is the same as the data in the virtual SIM card. The security method further includes running the electronic device normally if the electronic device has not received the command of reporting loss of the SIM card. If the command of reporting loss is received, a contact list and message of the electronic device are deleted and a calling function of the electronic device is disabled.
