Patent number: 8219858Abstract: A method for testing hard disks under an extensible firmware interface (EFI) provides a device tree of hard disks. Nodes of the device tree represent block devices or file systems of the hard disks. Devices paths and handles corresponding to each of the device paths are obtained from the device tree. Parent controller handles of each of the device paths are obtained. If there are parent controller handles the same as the obtained handles, the parent controller handles the same as the obtained handles are deleted. The computer determines that a number of the hard disks is equal to a number of the device paths corresponding to the remained parent controller handles. Nodes information of each of the device paths corresponding to the remained parent controller handles are determined as hard disk information of each of the hard disks.Type: GrantFiled: December 31, 2009Date of Patent: July 10, 2012Assignees: Hong Fu Jin Precision Industry (ShenZhen) Co., Ltd., Hon Hai Precision Industry Co., Ltd.Inventor: Ge-Xin Zeng

Publication number: 20120049651Abstract: A power switch control device includes a control chip connected to power switches distributed in a room, and a microcontroller connected to the control chip. When a person gets through an entry/exit door of the room, both of a first sensor fixed to an interior surface of the door and a second sensor fixed to an exterior surface of the door sense the person. By comparing record times of the two sensors, the microcontroller can determine whether the person enters or exits the room. If the person enters the room and a count value is changed to one from zero, the microcontroller sends a power-on command to the control chip to switch the power switches on. If the person exits the room and the count value is changed to zero from one, the microcontroller sends a power-off command to the control chip to switch the power switches off.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 24, 2010Publication date: March 1, 2012Applicants: HON HAI PRECISION INDUSTRY CO., LTD., HONG FU JIN PRECISION INDUSTRY (ShenZhen) CO., LTD.Inventors: XIANG YU, DE-HUA DANG, GE-XIN ZENG
