Filed:

Jun 23, 2009

Appl. No.:

12/489643

Inventors:

Charles Powell Morris - Longmont CO, US
Paul Andrew Ashmore - Longmont CO, US

Assignee:

Dot Hill Systems Corporation - Longmont CO

International Classification:

G11B 17/03

US Classification:

720632

Abstract:

A data storage system controller having a shock detection sensor and methods utilizing such a controller are provided. The data storage system controller receives information or signals regarding shock events from the associated shock sensor, enabling the data storage system controller to take remedial action. The particular remedial action taken may be dependent on the severity of the detected shock event. The data storage system controller may also receive information regarding shock events from shock sensors provided separately from the data storage system controller, allowing the data storage system controller to take remedial action that is tailored to the locale of a shock event.

Appl. No.:

12/899547

Inventors:

Andrew Rudolph Heyd - Longmont CO, US
Zbigniew Stanislaw Sobelewski - Monument CO, US
Paul Andrew Ashmore - Longmont CO, US
Charles Powell Morris - Longmont CO, US

Assignee:

POWER*OTG INCORPORATED - Longmont CO

International Classification:

F25B 21/04

US Classification:

62 33

Abstract:

A temperature-controlled portable container for carrying an injector is provided. The temperature-controlled portable container includes an outer container and an inner container disposed within the outer container. The injector is stored within the inner container, and the inner container is constructed of a thermally conductive material. The temperature-controlled portable container also includes a temperature control device, which maintains an inner container temperature above a first predetermined temperature and below a second predetermined temperature, where the second predetermined temperature is higher than the first predetermined temperature. The temperature-controlled portable container also includes a processor subsystem and a portable power source. The portable power source is coupled to the temperature control device and the processor subsystem, and provides power to the temperature control device and the processor subsystem.

International Classification:

H02J 7/00

US Classification:

320109

Abstract:

A power and communication system for a mobile cart is provided. The system includes a wall unit, which includes a processor and a power circuit. The power circuit receives external power and provides switched AC power to the cart unit when the wall unit is engaged with the cart unit and the processor enables the power circuit. The system also includes a cart unit. The cart unit includes a memory device storing a signature. The memory device is coupled to the processor when the wall unit is engaged with the cart unit. The processor detects continuity when the wall unit is engaged with the cart unit, and in response, the processor reads the signature. The processor enables the power circuit if the signature is a valid signature, and disables the power circuit if the signature is invalid. The switched AC power recharges a rechargeable power source of the mobile cart.

Inventors:

- Cupertino CA, US
Christopher E. Schroeder - Erie CO, US
Charles P. Morris - Longmont CO, US

International Classification:

G06F 1/18
H05K 7/18
H05K 7/14

Abstract:

A data storage enclosure can house and electrically connect to multiple data storage devices respectively secured by a carrier. A toolless data storage device carrier can be configured with a data storage device disposed between first and second rails and a clip physically contacting each rail while spanning the data storage device. The clip being shaped to continuously force each rail into contact with the data storage device.

Inventors:

- Cupertino CA, US
Kevin Van Pelt - Longmont CO, US
Charles P. Morris - Longmont CO, US

International Classification:

G06F 1/18
G06F 1/20

Abstract:

A data storage enclosure can have one or more data storage devices positioned in an enclosure slot having one or more stops. A data storage device can be attached to a rail having a rail width and having first and second protrusions offset from one another. The first and second protrusions may each have protrusion widths that are less than the rail width with the second protrusion shaped to provide a positive stop that retains the rail in an enclosure slot.

International Classification:

G11B 33/08
H05K 7/14

Abstract:

A method for reducing susceptibility to vibration for a storage device is provided. The method includes running a performance test to the storage device over a predetermined range of vibration frequencies and determining there is a frequency of concern for the storage device. The method also includes establishing resonant frequencies of the storage device and determining if a resonant frequency of the storage device corresponds to the frequency of concern. If a resonant frequency corresponds to the frequency of concern, then the method includes reducing stiffness of a plurality of mounting members coupled to the storage device and repeating running the performance test, determining there is a frequency of concern, determining a resonant frequency overlaps a frequency of concern, and reducing stiffness of the plurality of mounting members until one of there are no frequencies of concern and a resonant frequency does not correspond to a frequency of concern.
