Patent number: 8260988Abstract: A USB converter circuit for converting electrical signals from a key scan circuit (in PS/2 or other formats) into USB signals for a computer while supporting N-key rollover (NKRO) functions. The converter circuit can be implemented as a stand-alone PS/2 to USB keyboard converter or as an integral component of a USB keyboard or KVM switch. The converter circuit includes a converter module that generates keyboard data packets in the USB format having a 16-byte, 64-byte, etc. format representing key press information for up to 8 modifier keys and 14, 62, etc. non-modifier keys, respectively. The converter circuit also includes a USB device controller module which transmits the 16-byte etc. USB keyboard data as one or multiple USB data packets to the host computer. When multiple USB data packets are needed to transmit each keyboard data packet (depending on the USB speed), they are transmitted in consecutive polling periods.Type: GrantFiled: May 29, 2009Date of Patent: September 4, 2012Assignee: Aten International Co., Ltd.Inventors: Dang Sheng Cao, Chang-Ti Sung, Wen Zhang

Publication number: 20120218701Abstract: Computer workstation includes a mounting bracket for attachment to a wall, and a cabinet connected to the mounting bracket. A track, attached to the cabinet, is engaged with the mounting bracket to vertically guide the cabinet. A non-contacting sensor detects a computer operator. An input device tray is rotatably connected to the cabinet, and has i) an operating position that holds computer input device(s) in an input position and ii) a stowed position substantially preventing access. First electromagnet selectively retains the tray in the stowed position. Second electromagnet selectively retains the tray in the operating position. An electronic lock control panel accepts authentication input from the operator. An electronic lock control module, in a lockable compartment of the cabinet, is connected to the lock control panel and the sensor. The lock control module separately controls electric current flow through the electromagnets in response to authentication by the lock control module.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 28, 2011Publication date: August 30, 2012Inventor: Rendell Thomas
