  • Publication number: 20120011395
    Abstract: A boot method under a boot sector failure in a hard disk is provided, which includes the following steps. First, a detection unit is utilized to determine whether a boot sector in the hard disk fails. After determining that the boot sector fails, the detection unit utilizes a second boot file stored in a solid state disk (SSD) for booting. Meanwhile, the detection unit drives a pickup head in the hard disk to skip the failed boot sector and move to a normal sector in the hard disk, so as to boot a computer and enable the hard disk to operate normally.

  • Patent number: 8035980
    Abstract: A circuit structure for modifying characteristic impedance by using different reference planes is provided. The structure comprises an analog signal line, a digital signal line, a corresponding reference plane for analog signals and a corresponding reference plane for digital signals. Wherein, the line width of the analog signal line is the same as that of the digital signal line. In addition, the distance between the analog signal line and the corresponding analog signal reference plane is longer than the distance between the digital signal line and the corresponding digital signal reference plane. Accordingly, the characteristic impedance mismatch during signal transmission can be solved and the quality of signal transmission can be improved.
