In addition, the antenna ANT2 can also be designed to be removable, so that the antenna circuit ANT2 can be removed and replaced directly from the second component. In the conventional technology, the add-on card used to expand the Internet access function can only have ^ line or wireless networking functions, and cannot meet the needs of modern information ^ = source access. In contrast,… of the 20th: ^ Brain: single-slot 'can expand the computer's wired and non-dagger at the same time: Therefore, it fully meets the needs of multiple network connections and resource access. In the embodiments, all applications according to the present invention shall fall within the scope of the patent of the present invention. The above description is only equivalent changes and modifications made to the preferred patent scope of the present invention.
