  • Patent number: 8666298
    Abstract: A computer-based learning system uses knowledge points organized with a predefined multilevel arrangement. Each knowledge point has an information set which may include a knowledge content, an evaluation content and a solution content. For a given knowledge point, the learning system provides the knowledge content and evaluation content, analyzes the user's answers to the evaluation content and determines the next knowledge point to be studied by the user based on the user's answers and the predefined multilevel arrangement of the knowledge points. The learning system thus provides a different learning course for different users to achieve individualized learning. User's learning history may be recorded to facilitate reviews by the user and improve the selection of the next knowledge point. Users may provide feedbacks on knowledge contents and evaluation contents, and may even suggest their own knowledge contents and evaluation contents to improve the learning system and user participation.

  • Publication number: 20140059363
    Abstract: The present disclosure provides an electronic device having a USB interface and a method for starting USB communication with such an electronic device, so as to solve the problem of a risk of damaging a mobile phone terminal device arising from sharing of an interface by a charger and a USB communication cable in the related art. In the electronic device, a port GPIO of a baseband chip is connected to a pin USB_VBUS of a USB interface of the baseband chip; based on this circuit, a power management chip detects a state of plugging-in-or-pulling-out of the charger and generates a corresponding interrupt request; and the baseband chip controls the GPIO to output a corresponding level according to the interrupt request. By connecting the port GPIO and the pin USB_VBUS and controlling an output level of GPIO with a software, a high level or a low level (as a triggering signal for starting or terminating the USB communication) is input to the pin USB_VBUS, thus avoiding damage to the device.

  • Patent number: 8478926
    Abstract: An embodiment of the present invention discloses a co-processing acceleration method, including: receiving a co-processing request message which is sent by a compute node in a computer system and carries address information of to-be-processed data; according to the co-processing request message, obtaining the to-be-processed data, and storing the to-be-processed data in a public buffer card; and allocating the to-be-processed data stored in the public buffer card to an idle co-processor card in the computer system for processing. An added public buffer card is used as a public data buffer channel between a hard disk and each co-processor card of a computer system, and to-be-processed data does not need to be transferred by a memory of the compute node, which avoids overheads of the data in transmission through the memory of the compute node, and thereby breaks through a bottleneck of memory delay and bandwidth, and increases a co-processing speed.

  • Patent number: 8274751
    Abstract: A system and method for measuring the modulation between a magnetic head and a magnetic storage medium, such as a disk, is disclosed. A magnetic read/write head is positioned above a magnetic storage medium at a given flying height. The magnetic read/write head reads a signal from the magnetic storage medium. A tester measures an alternating electric current between the magnetic read/write head through the slider and the magnetic storage medium. A computer may then calculate the modulation by the magnetic read/write head based on the alternating electric current. A DC voltage to the head may be applied to lower the flying height of the magnetic head.
