  • Publication number: 20130166091
    Abstract: A container system including cabinets, a main control unit connected to the cabinets and a heat dissipation zone is mentioned. The cabinet includes a plurality of serving zones each of which further includes a master server and at least one slave server. The heat dissipation zone is disposed at a side of the serving zone and coupled to the main control unit. Each slave server is coupled to the master server. The slave server includes at least one temperature sensor, and the temperature sensor is used for outputting temperature information to the master server when receiving the temperature demand. The master server collects the temperature information transmitted by each slave server. The master server forwards the temperature information to the main control unit. The main control unit drives the heat dissipation zone to dissipate heat of the serving zone according to the temperature information.

  • Publication number: 20130166713
    Abstract: A method for obtaining an external IP address and its network protocol system are provided. A rack system of the network protocol system comprises a rack management controller (RMC), a power distribution unit and at least one node server. When a Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) service is lost in the rack system, a jumper of the rack management controller is detected to obtain an identification code. Then, a first temporary IP address of the rack management controller is obtained based on the identification code and a first table, and a first command package is sent to the power distribution unit by the rack management controller. After the first command package is received by the power distribution unit, an IP assign service is activated to set a second temporary IP address of the node server so that the node server can still communicate with the system management terminal.

  • Publication number: 20130159762
    Abstract: A container system and a monitoring method for the container system are provided. The container system includes a plurality of servers and a master server node. The servers are arranged in N areas. The master server node is coupled to the servers. The master server node selects one of a plurality of servers in an ith area to be a main node of the ith area. The main node collects temperature information of the servers in the ith area to transmit highest temperature information to the master server node. When the master server node cannot connect to the main node, the master server node selects one of other servers connected to the master server node in the ith area to be a replacing node, and adjusts the replacing node to be the main node of the ith area to collect the temperature information in the ith area continuously.

  • Patent number: 8074006
    Abstract: An abnormal status detecting method of interrupt pins is provided. In the invention, an advanced configuration and power interface (ACPI) table is looked up for obtaining an interrupt status bit of each interrupt pin in a computer system. Afterwards, the interrupt status bit is continuously checked whether it is maintained at a specific value during a fixed time. When the interrupt status bit of one of the interrupt pins is maintained at the specific value during the fixed time, the interrupt pin is determined to be abnormal.

  • Patent number: 7948466
    Abstract: A dual resolution circuit for supporting normal resolution display mode and half resolution display mode is disclosed. In the dual resolution circuit, cascaded shift registers are controlled by a group of clock signals to generate intermediate scan signals in response to a start pulse. A normal/reverse scan switch, controlling a normal scan mode and a reverse scan mode, feeds back the intermediate scan signal from one shift register to another shift register. A dual resolution switch switches signal paths of the intermediate scan signals to logic gates. The logic gates perform logic operation on an enablement signal and the intermediate scan signals to generate final scan signals used in dual resolution display modes.

  • Patent number: 7633495
    Abstract: The invention provides a low power multiplexer configuration in a display panel and a display panel and an electronic device using the same. The multiplexer conducts one of source output signals into to red (or green or blue) sub-pixels under control of control signals. In every time a frame is scanned or changed, the red (or green or blue) sub-pixels driven by the source output signal via the multiplexer are always in the same signal polarity, so the multiplexer consumes low power because voltage swing rates in source output signals are very low or almost zero.
