Abstract: A computing and communication architecture utilizes a serial protocol based switched fabric among circuit cards housed in packaging arrangement. In one embodiment, each circuit card connected to the serial protocol based switched fabric in the packaging arrangement is provided with a protocol processor that enables all of the circuit cards to efficiently provide packet-based serial self-clocked communications at line speed. As a result, it is not necessary to arrange the circuit cards in a hierarchical manner in order to address the problems of switch blocking and related traffic congestion issues that would otherwise limit the implementation of the serial protocol based backplane arrangement for housing circuit cards.

Abstract: A universal USB charger connected to an electronic device stored with a set of preset voltage values has a power supply circuit, a USB interface having a VBUS terminal and a ground terminal respectively connected to a positive DC power terminal and a ground terminal of the power supply circuit, and an output voltage switching module having multiple preset voltage units corresponding to electronic devices of multiple brands and a switching interface connected between the preset voltage units and a D+ terminal and a D? terminal of the USB interface. Each preset voltage unit outputs a D+ voltage and a D? voltage. The switching interface is operated to output the D+ and D? voltages associated with the electronic device through the D+ and D? terminals. After determining that the D+ and D? voltages match the set of preset voltage values, the electronic device allows itself to be charged by the charger.

Abstract: A universal series bus (USB) power supply has a DC power source, a USB power interface and a voltage modulation module. The USB power interface is for connecting to an electronic device that stores a default D+ voltage and a default D? voltage. The voltage modulation module connects to and outputs signals to the D+ and D? terminals of the USB power interface. If voltage levels of the output signals are not respectively identical to the default D+ and D? voltages, the voltage modulation module changes the voltage levels of the signals output to the D+ and D? terminals of the USB power interface until the voltage levels of the output signals are respectively identical to the default D+ and D? voltages. Therefore, the USB power supply may be applied to any kind of electronic device that is charged over a USB interface.

Abstract: An electrical adapter assembly has a cable and an adapter. The cable has a distal end having a plug and a proximal end having a connector. The connector comprises a shell having an inner space, a first end and a second end having an output hole allowing the cable to be mounted in the inner space. The second end of the connector has an outer surface, a positive electrode, a negative electrode and a thermal sensor mounted in the inner space of the connector. The adapter connects to the cable and has a circuit board and a socket corresponding to the plug. Because the thermal sensor can sense the temperature in the connector and cut off the current when the temperature is too high, the cable will not be damaged and users will not be in danger.
