| 20080238650 | CONFIGURABLE NETWORKED USER INTERFACE AND SWITCH PACK - A printed circuit board (PCB) has a plurality of switch interfaces on its top surface. Each interface is an array of sensors, such as proximity sensors, hall-effect sensors, or a series of inductor coils. The sensors in each array are closely mounted and are all the same for a given PCB. Each array may or may not mount a non-contacting switch selected from a plurality of different types of switches, such as a single push button switch, dual push button switch, a toggle switch, a 3-position rocker switch, a rotary switch, or other type switch. Each switch mounted on the PCB includes one or more indicators for sensing by the sensors or coils, with feedback to determine what type of switch is mounted in each position. The same PCB, or other mount, may thus be used for a variety of unique applications, such as switch packs used in vehicles. | 10-02-2008 |

| 20090177840 | System and Method for Servicing Inquiry Commands About Target Devices in Storage Area Network - Inquiry data received from sequential target devices is stored in a cache memory. In one embodiment, the cache memory is coupled to a router. In one embodiment, when the router receives from a host an inquiry command about a target, the router first checks to see if the inquiry command can be serviced from the cache. If so, the inquiry data about the target is retrieved from the cache and returned to the host. If not, the router checks to see if the target is busy. If not busy, the router routes the inquiry command to the target and stores the inquiry data returned by the target in the cache. If the target is busy, the router places the inquiry command in a queue. When the target becomes available, the router forwards the inquiry command to the target for processing, thereby keeping the inquiry command from timing out. | 07-09-2009 |
| 20100262685 | SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR COMMAND TRACKING - Embodiments of the present invention provide a system and method of command tracking that eliminates, or at least substantially reduces, the shortcomings of prior art systems and methods for command tracking. More particularly, embodiments of the present invention provide a system and method in which a command is assigned a unique identification. State information for the command (e.g., has the command been completed, has all the data associated with the command been received and other state information) can be associated with the unique identification and recorded. According to one embodiment, the state information can be stored in various tables that correspond to particular data transport protocols and/or devices. Because the state information for the command is associated with the unique identification in the tables, state information for the same command can be identified, even if the command changes data transport protocols. | 10-14-2010 |
| 20110161584 | SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR INQUIRY CACHING IN A STORAGE AREA NETWORK - A system and method for servicing an inquiry command from a host device requesting inquiry data about a sequential device on a storage area network. The inquiry data may be cached by a circuitry coupled to the host device and the sequential device. The circuitry may reside in a router. In some embodiments, depending upon whether the sequential device is available to process the inquiry command, the circuitry may forward the inquiry command to the sequential device or process the inquiry command itself, utilizing a cached version of the inquiry data. The cached version may include information indicating that the sequential device is not available. In some embodiments, regardless whether the sequential device is available, the circuitry may process the inquiry command and return the inquiry data from a cache memory. | 06-30-2011 |

| 20120083874 | DEVICE FOR COLLAPSING AND LOADING A HEART VALVE INTO A MINIMALLY INVASIVE DELIVERY SYSTEM - A device is provided for collapsing a stented bioprosthetic valve, including first section and second sections, each spanning between first and second ends of the device. The second section of the device is associated with the first section to at least partially enclose an internal cavity formed by the first and second sections, the internal cavity tapering from an open insertion portion at a first end of the device to an open exit portion at a second end of the device. The insertion portion has a larger dimension than the exit portion. When the first section and second section are substantially enclosing the internal cavity, a stented bioprosthetic valve may be inserted into the insertion portion and collapsed as it is moved toward and through the exit portion. The valve may then be loaded on an apparatus for insertion into the body. | 04-05-2012 |
