  • Patent number: 6859027
    Abstract: A device and method for measuring the jitters of phase locked loop signals. A phase lead or phase lag relationship between an input signal and an output signal of a phase locked loop is found. According to the phase relationship and using multiplexers, a first phase difference signal and a second phase difference signal are re-routed to a subtraction unit and produces a jitter-level output signal. The jitter-level output signal represents the absolute value of the difference of pulse width between the first phase difference signal and the second phase difference signal.

  • Patent number: 6736608
    Abstract: The present invention provides a heat-dissipating fan with a manually adjustable speed-setting function by locating a speed-adjusting revolving-button or push-button in one of the bolt-holes of the front side or rear side of said heat-dissipating fan. The size, and structure of the regular original heat-dissipating fan is therefore unchanged and a speed-adjusting revolving-button or push-button is provided in a selected bolt-hole for users to set the speed of the fan directly according to needs at any time. Additionally, a temperature-detecting thermal resistor is included to achieve 2-fold speed-adjusting.

  • Patent number: 6643126
    Abstract: An automatic temperature display and fan rotary speed adjusting device having an operation display panel which is capable of being connected to a disk drive frame, a cover plate or a computer panel. The operation display panel is combined to the computer panel directly, or to the 5.25 inches disk drive frame, or to the 5.25 inches disk drive cover plate, or to the 3.5 inches disk drive cover plate, in each case, the operation display panel is installed with a control circuit board, a thermometer and a connecting terminal connected to a heat dissipating fan. The window is connected to the thermometer. The thermometer is fixed or installed to the hard disk drive, central processing unit or computer. An IC in a circuit board will display the temperature measured by the thermometer and the rotary speed of the fan on the window. A circuit of the fan adjusting button is connected to the circuit board and electric heat dissipating fan.
