  • Patent number: 11914868
    Abstract: A storage system comprises nodes and drives, and includes at least one mounting area to install the drives. A node manages a parity group constituted of the plurality of drives; generates, in a case where a target drive that is installed in a first mounting area and that belongs to a first parity group is to be moved from the first mounting area to a second mounting area, difference information regarding a storage area where data was written into the target drive during a period in which the target drive is moved from the first mounting area to the second mounting area; and restore data written into the storage area by using data stored in other drives than the target drive that belongs to the first parity group based on the difference information, and write the data into the target drive that has been moved to the second mounting area.

  • Patent number: 11769993
    Abstract: An electrical junction box housing includes: a case having an opening portion; a cover closes the opening portion; and a gasket fitted to a groove portion of the opening portion. The groove portion includes a case-side seal face in contact with the gasket, an inner wall is located on the inner side of the case-side seal face and protrudes upward, and an outer wall is located on the outer side of the case-side seal face and protrudes upward. The cover includes a cover-side seal face in contact with the gasket, and a water stop wall protruding downward from the outer side of the cover-side seal face. A first clearance is formed in the vertical direction between the water stop wall and an outer surface of the case, and a second clearance is formed in the radial direction between the water stop wall and the outer wall.

  • Patent number: 11163267
    Abstract: Embodiments of the present disclosure describe automatically changing a time zone of a mobile device to a current time zone. The method detects a first event for a mobile device from a plurality of events. The plurality of events represents a possible time zone change from a first time zone. The method generates a time change value based on detection of the event. The method detects a subsequent event for the mobile device and modifies the time change value. The method determines the time change value exceeds a change threshold value and changes a time zone display of the mobile device from the first time zone to a second time zone based on at least one detected event for the mobile device.

  • Patent number: 11152774
    Abstract: In a connector of an electrical junction box, a protruding portion protrudes away from a tubular portion from a bottom wall of the tubular portion whose one end face is open. In a housing box, a tubular first cover portion protrudes outward from a circumferential edge portion of an insertion port, and a second cover portion protrudes from a portion of a front end face of the first cover portion. A portion of the protruding portion of the connector is inserted into the insertion port. The first cover portion covers the protruding portion, and the second cover portion covers the protruding portion with a space interposed between the second cover portion and the protruding portion 22. An adhering member is between the protruding portion of the connector and the first cover portion of the housing box and adheres to the protruding portion and the first cover portion.
