  • Publication number: 20240429922
    Abstract: A synchronization signal generation circuit and a synchronization method among a plurality of devices are proposed. The synchronization signal generation circuit includes a clock signal generator and a controller. The clock signal generator generates a reference clock signal. The controller receives an input clock signal from a host end device and generates a plurality of candidate clock signals through a plurality of counting operations based on the reference clock signal. The controller selectively transmits one of the candidate clock signals to each peripheral device according to request information corresponding to each peripheral device. The candidate clock signals and the input clock signal have mutually aligned start time points in each frame period.

  • Publication number: 20130154457
    Abstract: A hard disk drive filler (HDD filler) detachably installed in a case is disclosed. The HDD filler has a frame body, a guiding device, and a gravitational sliding device, wherein the frame body defines a bottom surface and a top surface corresponding to the bottom surface. The guiding device is situated on the frame body and combines with the gravitational sliding device. The gravitational sliding device is confined and guided by the guiding device, such that the gravitational sliding device can slide along a certain direction for staying within or exposing at least a part of the gravitational sliding device to the frame body due to gravity. If the frame body is installed in the case while the bottom surface is upward, the gravitational sliding device slides and is guided by the guiding device to be partly exposed to the frame body to stop the installation.
