Abstract: An active TFT circuit structure with current scaling function is disclosed, which includes a current source, a data line, a scan line, a direct current voltage source, capacitors and four transistors, wherein the capacitors form a cascade structure. During the ON-state, the two of the transistors are turn-on based on the voltage provided by the scan line, so that the data current provided by the current source flows through the data line-and the transistor which is one of the opened transistors, thereby arriving an emitting light element and the transistor connected to the emitting light element. When the pixel circuit changes from ON- to OFF-state, the voltage of the node between the storage capacitors reduces due to the feed-through effect of one of storage capacitor, thereby reducing the driving current of the emitting light element. Therefore, it can be achieved the current scaling function.

Abstract: An invention is disclosed that provides a method for facilitating communication with a Fiber Channel controller. Initially, a data structure is defined that includes a Fiber Channel attribute value, which defines a particular functionality of a Fiber Channel controller. Although the data structure can include a plurality of Fiber Channel attributes, preferably at least one Fiber Channel attribute is defined in the data structure. A user is then enabled to modify the Fiber Channel attribute value. Further, during operation of the Fiber Channel controller, a modification request can be received from a code segment to alter the Fiber Channel attribute. The functionality of the Fiber Channel controller is then altered based on the Fiber Channel attribute value.

Abstract: A method includes operations for creating and formatting FAT partitions beyond the first gigabyte of a disk having more than one gigabyte of data storage space, when the disk is associated with a controller card that does not include an option-ROM with a BIOS. In particular, the method populates at least one variable of each partition boot sector with a non-F6 value which then is detected to cause the use of the partition LBA for formatting the boot sector, rather than the partition CHS. A computer readable medium can also include program instructions for creating and formatting FAT partitions beyond the first gigabyte of a disk having more than one gigabyte of data storage space, when the disk is associated with a controller card that does not include an option-ROM with a BIOS.
