Patent number: 11537317Abstract: The disclosed technology includes a storage system with a docking station configured to serve as an interface between a host computer and a portable data pack including multiple storage drives. The docking station includes a drive-side connection interface that provides a physical and electrical coupling to each of the multiple storage drives in the portable data pack, a RAID controller, and mode selection logic for directing communications in route between the host computer and a select drive of the multiple storage drives along one of two selectable paths within the docking station, the first path permitting the host computer to interact with the select drive through the RAID controller and the second path permitting the host computer to interact with the select drive along a data channel that bypasses the RAID controller.Type: GrantFiled: May 7, 2019Date of Patent: December 27, 2022Assignee: Microsoft Technology Licensing, LLCInventors: Sebastien Charles, Astolfo Rueda, Tamer Sherif Mahmoud Abdelaziz

Patent number: 11393619Abstract: A transformer has a first inductor that includes a first port. The transformer also has a second inductor magnetically coupled to the first inductor. The second inductor includes a second port. The second inductor includes a first portion configured to permit current flow in a clockwise direction and a second portion configured to permit current flow in a counter-clockwise direction. The transformer also has a third inductor magnetically coupled to the first inductor. The third inductor includes a third port. The counter-clockwise direction is opposite the clockwise direction to reduce magnetic coupling between the second inductor and the third inductor based on magnetic coupling cancellation.Type: GrantFiled: October 26, 2018Date of Patent: July 19, 2022Assignee: QUALCOMM IncorporatedInventors: Haitao Cheng, Sherif Mahmoud Shakib Roshdy, Abbas Abbaspour-Tamijani, Chinmaya Mishra

Publication number: 20170299738Abstract: Various examples are provided for land streamer seismic surveying using multiple sources. In one example, among others, a method includes disposing a land streamer in-line with first and second shot sources. The first shot source is at a first source location adjacent to a proximal end of the land streamer and the second shot source is at a second source location separated by a fixed length corresponding to a length of the land streamer. Shot gathers can be obtained when the shot sources are fired. In another example, a system includes a land streamer including a plurality of receivers, a first shot source located adjacent to the proximal end of the land streamer, and a second shot source located in-line with the land streamer and the first shot source. The second shot source is separated from the first shot source by a fixed overall length corresponding to the land streamer.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 28, 2017Publication date: October 19, 2017Inventors: Sherif Mahmoud, Gerard Schuster

Patent number: 9593658Abstract: A vehicle is provided with a pinion starter for an internal-combustion engine, which vehicle includes a low-voltage onboard power supply system and a high-voltage onboard power supply system. The pinion starter has an electric motor and a solenoid switch, wherein the electric motor is constructed as a polyphase machine. The polyphase machine can be supplied with electric power from the high-voltage onboard power supply system, and the solenoid switch can be electrically supplied by the low-voltage onboard power supply system.Type: GrantFiled: April 10, 2013Date of Patent: March 14, 2017Assignee: Bayerische Motoren Werke AktiengesellschaftInventors: Hartmut Proebstle, Sherif Mahmoud

Patent number: 9434256Abstract: An arrangement and method are provided for stabilizing a voltage applied to a first electric consumer arranged in a vehicle onboard power supply system that includes a second electric consumer. A first voltage supply unit provides a supply voltage; a storage unit stores electric energy; a second voltage supply unit provides a charging voltage; a switching unit is connected to the first consumer, the storage unit, the first voltage supply unit and the second voltage supply unit; and a control unit determines whether a stabilization is to be carried out. If no stabilization is to be carried out, the control unit activates the switching unit such that the first consumer is connected to the first voltage supply unit and, as soon as the stabilization is to be carried out, the first consumer is connected to a series connection formed by the storage unit and the first voltage supply unit.Type: GrantFiled: August 2, 2013Date of Patent: September 6, 2016Assignee: Bayerische Motoren Werke AktiengesellschaftInventors: Hartmut Proebstle, Rupert Neudecker, Sherif Mahmoud
