An electrical connecting portion for a device with a heating function is a portion of a heating unit of the device. The electrical connecting portion includes a substrate, two copper layers, and two electrically conductive coating layers. The substrate is made of a light-transmittable material and includes a front face and a rear face. Each of the two copper layers includes at least one first through-hole extending in a front-rear direction. Each of the two electrically conductive coating layers substantially covers a respective one of the two copper layers and is coupled to the front face of the substrate. Each of the two electrically conductive coating layers substantially fills the at least one first through-hole of the respective one of the two copper layers. The two electrically conductive coating layers have an insulating spacing therebetween. Thus, the electrical connecting portion prevents hot melting and provides better electrical connection reliability.

A cyclic comparison method for an LDPC decoder. The nth element of the input k elements, wherein n=1, . . . , k, is sequentially removed by the corresponding comparator to obtain k first level sequences. Next, pairs of two elements selected from the k elements are used to form k second level sequences. The preceding step is repeated k&#xd7;&#x250c;log(k&#x2212;1)&#x2510; times to obtain k output results. Either of one first level sequences and one output results contains (k&#x2212;1) elements. The first level sequences are compared with the output results to determine whether they are identical. If they are identical, the process stops. If they are not identical, the abovementioned step is repeated to obtain new output results. The cyclic comparison method of the present invention needs only k&#xd7;&#x250c;log(k&#x2212;1)&#x2510; comparisons to obtain output results. Thus, the present invention can reduce the number of basic operations and can apply to any input number.

The present invention discloses a set-cyclic comparison method for an LDPC (Low-Density Parity-Check) decoder, which applies to a CNU (Check Node Unit) or a VNU (Variable Node Unit). In the systematized method of the present invention, all the input elements are initialized to obtain a matrix. Based on the symmetry of the matrix and the similarity between the rows of the matrix are sequentially formed different sets respectively corresponding to the horizontally-continuous elements having the maximum iteration number in the horizontal and vertical directions, the symmetric non-continuous non-boundary elements, and the boundary elements plus the end-around neighboring elements in the same row. The present invention applies to any input number. Via the large intersection between the compared sets, the present invention can effectively reduce the number of comparison calculations and greatly promote the performance of an LDPC decoder.
