  • Patent number: 8760475
    Abstract: A method of dynamically adjusting screen brightness is adapted for a screen to adjust the screen brightness. First, an original ambient light level and an original brightness adjustment factor are determined. Then, a relationship curve of an ambient light level and a brightness adjustment factor is determined. The current ambient light level is continuously monitored and compared with the original ambient light level to determine if the current ambient light level is equal to the original ambient light level. If not equal, a brightness adjustment factor corresponding to the current ambient light level is obtained based on the relationship curve, and the screen brightness is adjusted based on the brightness adjustment factor. The obtained screen brightness and the corresponding brightness adjustment factor are set to be the original screen brightness and the original brightness adjustment factor, and thus the background brightness is monitored again and the screen brightness is adjusted.

  • Patent number: 8095332
    Abstract: Disclosed is a method for pre-heating a hard disk drive of a computer device, wherein a temperature sensor and a heater are arranged at preset locations outside the computer device. The temperature sensor detects an external temperature of the hard disk drive, which is compared with an activation temperature threshold stored in a data memory unit of the computer device. The activation temperature threshold is calibrated by a preset compensation value stored in the data memory unit. When the external temperature of the hard disk drive subtracting the preset compensation value is less than the activation temperature threshold of the hard disk drive, the activation of the hard disk drive is prohibited and the heater carries out heating on the hard disk drive until the activation temperature threshold of the hard disk drive is reached; thereafter, the hard disk drive is activated again.

  • Patent number: 7473156
    Abstract: A sculpture skeleton includes a hollow body, a spring one end of which is extended into a hollow head to securely engage with an inner periphery of the hollow head, a first resilient wire, a second resilient wire diagonally extending through the hollow body so as to extend through the chest portion and the abdomen portion of the hollow body, an arm portion and a leg portion respectively mounted around a portion of the first resilient wire and of the second resilient wire which extend out of the chest portion of the hollow body and a base having multiple apertures defined through a side face thereof to allow extension of the first resilient wire, the second resilient wire and the third resilient wire so as to be positioned on top of the base.
