  • Computer communication port assembly
    Patent number: 6717802
    Abstract: A communication port device is mounted in a slot on the front side of computer for easily plugging/unplugging a peripheral device to the communication port device. The present device is in electrical connection with motherboard and includes various communication ports for selection. Thus, it is adaptable for user customization. Its assembly/disassembly of connection to peripherals is more convenient. Also, there is no need to alter the design of housing, motherboard, etc.

  • System clock switch circuit of a computer main board
    Patent number: 6175929
    Abstract: A system clock switch circuit for a computer main board sends a reset signal to the chipset from the clock generator or a additional reset signal generator as soon as the system clock frequency is changed by the CPU. In result, the computer main board restarts with a new system clock frequency after the reset signal is canceled to avoid the malfunctions caused by the non-synchronization between the system clock frequency and the clock frequencies of peripherals.
