Patent application numberDescriptionPublished
20090187924Resolving SAS timing issues for long-distance SAS extender - This invention extends the distance at which a SAS extender can function. The distance is increased a large amount over the traditional 10 meters. As a result timers will not go off before the response can make a trip back. This is accomplished by emulating as a SAS expander, using SAS AIP's (Arbitration In Progress), and using a lookup table to determine which SAS events must be responded to immediately and which ones to be passed on to the remote link.07-23-2009

20090177838APPARATUS AND METHOD TO ACCESS DATA IN A RAID ARRAY - A method to access a data in a RAID array comprising a plurality of data storage media, wherein information is written to said plurality of data storage media using a RAID configuration, wherein the method receives from a requester a command comprising a data access priority indicator. If a RAID rebuild is in progress, the method determines if the data access priority indicator is set. If the data access priority indicator is set, the method executes a command selected from the group consisting of writing information to the target logical block array range, and returning to the requestor information read from the target logical block array range.07-09-2009

20100141692MULTICOLOR VISUAL FEEDBACK FOR NON-VOLATILE STORAGE - An improved storage device is disclosed having an interface, a controller in communication with this interface, a memory in communication with the controller, wireless communications system, volume control and audio output, battery, and a light-emitting-diode assembly or other multi-colored display in communication with the controller. The light-emitting-diode assembly has a first and a second light-emitting-diode element, the first and second light-emitting-diode elements emitting a first and a second color of light, respectively. The first light-emitting-diode element and said second light-emitting-diode element each independently controlled by the controller via pulse-width-modulation, to produce a third color which appears to be in between the first and second colors in wavelength, this third color indicative of the percent completion of an I/O task, the usage of the memory, volume level, wireless strength, or battery strength.06-10-2010
20100285336MAGNETIC STORAGE MEDIUM FORMED OF CARBON NANOTUBE ARRAYS - A magnetic storage medium is formed of magnetic nanoparticles that are encapsulated within carbon nanotubes, which are arranged in a substrate to facilitate the reading and writing of information by a read/write head. The substrate may be flexible or rigid. Information is stored on the magnetic nanoparticles via the read/write head of a storage device. These magnetic nanoparticles are arranged into data tracks to store information through encapsulation within the carbon nanotubes. As carbon nanotubes are bendable, the carbon nanotubes may be arranged on flexible or rigid substrates, such as a polymer tape or disk for flexible media, or a glass substrate for rigid disk. A polymer may assist holding the nano-particle filled carbon-tubes to the substrate.11-11-2010
