  • Publication number: 20110037897
    Abstract: An audio system including an inverter, a first amplifier, a first mixer, a main speaker, and a first audio output port is provided. The inverter receives a first audio signal and inverts the first audio signal into an inverted audio signal. The first amplifier receives the inverted audio signal from the inverter and multiplies the inverted audio signal by a first gain to generate a first compensating audio signal. The first mixer receives a second audio signal and mixes the first compensating audio signal with the second audio signal to generate a first low-interference audio signal. The main speaker receives and plays the first audio signal. The first audio output port receives the first low-interference audio signal from the first mixer and transmits the first low-interference audio signal to a first external speaker. An electronic device and a car audio system capable of generating the low-interference audio signal are provided.

  • Publication number: 20090235221
    Abstract: A routing channel displaying method and a computer-accessible storage medium are provided. In the method, a circuit board is divided into m×n blocks which form a matrix with size m×n, and m, n are positive integers. Then, a processing direction is determined by a relative position of a first and a second component of the circuit board. After dividing the blocks into at least one set of processing blocks according to the processing direction, an analysis of the used space rate is sequentially performed on each set of the processing blocks. Finally, all blocks in each set of the processing blocks are labeled according to the result of the analysis of the used space rate so as to display at least one routing channel between the first component and the second component. Thereby, the probability of rerouting is reduced, and the routing efficiency of the circuit board is improved.
