  • Patent number: 9184001
    Abstract: A keyboard includes a main board and at least one key structure positioned on the main board. The key structure includes a key switch and a key cap. The key cap is combined with the key switch. The key switch includes a key base and a shaft movably positioned on the key base. The keycap includes a main body and a cushion member. The main body is positioned on the shaft of the key switch. The main body is spaced apart from the contact surface of the key base. The main body is moved forward and backward relative to the key base with movement of the shaft. The cushion member is positioned at one side of the main body facing the contact surface. While the main body is moved to the contact surface, the cushion member abuts on the contact surface, so as to avoid the main body from hitting the key base directly, and hence minimizing the noise that is produced by the moving parts.

  • Patent number: 8214569
    Abstract: A method for reading non-standard register of Serial Advanced Technology Attachment (SATA) devices discloses an unused input parameter of standard command setting up as an executive parameter. While receiving the standard command, a SATA host controller converts the executive parameter and the standard command into input frame information structure (FIS) that is sent to the SATA devices for the SATA devices to detect the executive parameter for reading corresponding value of non-standard register and saving the value into an output register of the SATA devices. The value of the non-standard register is converted into output frame information structure for being sent to the SATA host controller and the value of the non-standard register is saved to the output register of the SATA host controller. Then by reading the value of the output register of the SATA host controller, the value of the non-standard register is learned.
