Abstract: A method and apparatus thereof for flashing a BIOS of a data processing system remotely are provided. A BIOS flash instruction is given remotely from a remote console, transmitted to a microprocessor and a corresponding storage media of the data processing system via network, where the microprocessor is irresponsible for operating system. A BIOS image file is identified correct before performing BIOS of a system microprocessor that is responsible for operating system, where the system microprocessor is usually CPU. BIOS is remotely flashed with this method and apparatus, and since flash operation is performed independently of the operating system of the data processing system, BIOS re-flash can be performed and data processing system can be rebooted even when flash operation is failed or operating system is disable.

Abstract: A remote monitoring method includes monitoring a plurality of components on a main board. When one of the plurality of components fails to function properly, a warning message is produced to indicate that the component is out of order. Afterward, the warning message is transmitted to a remote control device through a network medium. The remote control device then produces a plot to imitate the relative positions of the main board and the components and displays the malfunctioning component on the plot.

Abstract: A geared motor includes a rotor mounted rotatably to a motor housing and having an output shaft along a rotating axis, and a stator secured to the motor housing to surround the rotor. The stator has a plurality of angularly displaced core segments with wall areas confronting magnetic pole units on the rotor, and a plurality of windings wound respectively around the core segments to create a torque so as to drive the output shaft. A planetary gear assembly includes a sun wheel mounted on the output shaft, an annulus secured to the motor housing and having an internally toothed annular surface, and a planet wheel meshing with the toothed surface and the sun wheel. A rotary member is rotated by a speed reduction drive transmitted from the planet wheel about a transmitting axis aligned with the rotating axis.
