Abstract: A semiconductor chip and a manufacturing method thereof are provided. The semiconductor chip includes: an array of pillar structures, disposed on a front surface of the semiconductor chip, and respectively including a ground pillar and multiple working pillars laterally spaced apart from and substantially parallel with a line portion of the ground pillar; and dummy pillar structures, disposed on the front surface of the semiconductor chip and laterally surrounding the pillar structures. Active devices formed inside the semiconductor chip are electrically connected to the working pillar. The ground pillars of the pillar structures and the dummy pillar structures are electrically connected to form a current pathway on the front surface of the semiconductor chip.

Abstract: A method of fast booting for multimedia playing from a standby mode is provided, including installing at least a first operating system, a second operating system and the kernel of the second operating system in the hard disk of the computer. An event signal generating unit is connected to the computer. When the computer completes the booting process with the first operating system, a memory region for the kernel of the second operating system is established in the system memory, and the kernel of the second operating system kernel is loaded into the memory region. When the user shuts down the computer, the computer enters a standby mode. If the user operates the event signal generating unit when the computer is in the standby mode, the computer awakes and starts executing the second operating system kernel in the memory region and the computer enters the multimedia playing mode.

Abstract: A method of fast switching control for different operation systems operated in computer is provided, including installing a first operating system, a second operating system and a second operating system kernel program in a hard disk of the computer. An event signal generation unit is connected to the computer. When the computer completes the booting process, the first operating system is loaded and executed, the second operating system kernel program memory region is established in a system memory, and the second operating system kernel program is loaded into the second operating system kernel program memory region. When the computer detects that a preset event signal is generated from the event signal generation unit, the second operation system kernel program preloaded in the second operating system kernel program memory region is executed, so that the computer is switched from executing the first operation system to executing the second operation system.

Abstract: A memory device for assistant execution of computer program in semi-opening or all-opening machine is to apply a memory device in notebook computer to store basic driving program, and the main objective of the invention is to execute basic function by reading the basic driving program stored in the memory device under the situations when the notebook computer is semi-opened or all-opened such that, when the notebook of prior arts is operated, it can avoid the required step-by-step procedure for opening and entering the operation system, and the shortcomings of inconvenience and time-consumption in application may be overcome.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for remote infrared power up of a computer system. An infrared remote controller issues a first signal, received by a keyboard encoder in the computer system, which generates a second signal accordingly. The second signal is received by a power control pin, which activates a power control chip. Finally, a power controller in the power control chip powers up the computer system.
