  • Patent number: 10354466
    Abstract: The invention relates to a mixed photonic lock structure having intelligent identification and a method thereof. It comprises a mixed photonic key inserted into a mixed photonic lock body. A power supply unit of the mixed photonic lock body supplies the required power to the mixed photonic lock body and the mixed photonic key. An infrared (IR)-LED in the mixed photonic lock body emits a corresponding signal to an infrared photo detector (IR-PD) in the mixed photonic key. When the comparison conducted by a signal comparison circuit of the mixed photonic key matches, a RGB-LED emits a light signal password to a RGB PD of the mixed photonic lock body to control the lock to unlock after the comparison conducted by a signal comparison circuit of the mixed photonic lock body matches.

  • Patent number: 10275373
    Abstract: A hot swappable device includes a port, a firmware module, and an interrupt masking module. The port includes a Peripheral Component Interface express Physical Layer, and the Peripheral Component Interface express Physical Layer includes multiple lanes lanes. The Peripheral Component Interface express Physical Layer detects an analog signal in each of the multiple lanes, when it is detected that an amplitude of an analog signal in one of the multiple lanes is less than a preset threshold, generates an ALOS signal corresponding to the lane, and transmits the ALOS signal to the interrupt masking module. The interrupt masking module generates an ALOS interrupt signal corresponding to the lane and sends the ALOS interrupt signal to the firmware module. If the firmware module receives, in a preset time period, an ALOS interrupt signal corresponding to each lane, the firmware module resets the port.
