Patent number: 8769314Abstract: A test fixture includes a first RS-232 connector and a second RS-232 connector. The data terminal ready (DTR) pin of the first RS-232 connector is connected to the DTR pin of the second RS-232 connector, and the clear to send (CTS) pin of the first RS-232 connector is connected to the CTS pin of the second RS-232 connector. The DTR pins are further connected to a power pin of each of the test computers. The test fixture sets a high level voltage for the connected DTR pins, and sets a low level voltage for the connected CTS pins according to the commands of turning on the test computers sent by the control computer, to turn on the test computers. An auto shutdown software included in each of the test computers is executed to shut down the test computers.Type: GrantFiled: August 17, 2010Date of Patent: July 1, 2014Assignees: Hong Fu Jin Precision Industry (ShenZhen) Co., Ltd., Hon Hai Precision Industry Co., Ltd.Inventors: Zhi-Chun Liang, Jun-Min Chen, Zhi-Jian Long, Fang Tian

Patent number: 8422216Abstract: A memory holding apparatus includes a main pole and an inserting pole. The main pole includes a main portion and a first holding portion perpendicularly extending from a first end of the main portion. A second end of the main portion defines a receiving hole extending to the first holding portion. A sidewall of the main portion defines an opening. An elastic blocking piece extends from a side bounding the opening. A hook extends from an inside wall of the blocking piece. The inserting pole includes an inserting portion and a second holding portion perpendicularly extending from a first end of the inserting portion. The inserting portion defines a groove from a second end of the inserting portion extending to the second holding portion. A number of blocks extend from a bottom of the groove. The hook is selectively engaged with one of the blocks.Type: GrantFiled: December 3, 2010Date of Patent: April 16, 2013Assignees: Hong Fu Jin Precision Industry (ShenZhen) Co., Ltd., Hon Hai Precision Industry Co., Ltd.Inventors: Zhi-Chun Liang, Fang Tian

Patent number: 8351199Abstract: An exemplary computer case includes an external shell, a circuit board received in the external shell, and a dehumidification device. The circuit board includes a PCI socket providing an auxiliary power supply when the computer shuts down but the computer case retains electrical connection with an external AC power source. The dehumidification device includes a dehumidification card received in the PCI socket for obtaining the auxiliary power supply therefrom and a remote device. The dehumidification card includes a fan for generating airflow to remove moisture from the computer case and a sensor detecting a humidity inside the computer case. The remote device includes a display unit for displaying the result. When the humidity exceeds a predetermined value, the computer is not powered up until the fan evacuates the excess moisture from the computer case and the humidity falls below the predetermined value.Type: GrantFiled: December 19, 2010Date of Patent: January 8, 2013Assignees: Hong Fu Jin Precision Industry (ShenZhen) Co., Ltd., Hon Hai Precision Industry Co., Ltd.Inventors: Fang Tian, Zhi-Chun Liang, Xiang-Wei He
