The indication appending method comprises the step of applying a coating material having a color different from a surface of the article onto the surface in the form of a layer, and the step of partially removing the coating material by irradiation with laser light and thereby forming identification information, which is a letter/character, a symbol, and/or a figure. The coating material may be applied onto a predetermined region, and thereby an indication may be formed by a part from which the coating material is removed.

Abstract: A scanning mirror unit two-dimensionally scans with infrared laser light emitted from a first light source unit, visible laser light emitted from a second light source unit, or laser light in which both the laser light are superimposed on each other. A reflected light detection unit detects reflected light of infrared laser light emitted via the scanning mirror unit. An object recognition unit recognizes an object present within the emission range of infrared laser light based on the reflected light detected by the reflected light detection unit. When an object is recognized by the object recognition unit, the second light source unit emits visible laser light, which is different in accordance with information on the object, toward the object, a neighborhood of the object, or both the object and the neighborhood thereof.

Abstract: A method for updating firmware of a hard disk drive (HDD) within a computer. In order to use the firmware that has been updated without rebooting the computer, the old identification information of the old firmware is loaded into a random-access memory (RAM) of the HDD. The new firmware containing new identification information is written in the non-volatile memory of the HDD during a power-on state of the computer. The new firmware containing new identification information is loaded into the RAM, and the new identification information is rewritten with the old identification information. The old identification information at the RAM of the HDD is sent back in response to a request of identification information from the operating system prior to cold boot.

Abstract: Thermal throttling of a storage device may be provided independent of the host computing device according to the disclosed exemplary embodiments. The storage device may be connectable to more than one type and/or make of host computing devices whose thermal safety requirements may differ. Threshold temperature values for safely operating the storage device may be stored in the host computing device. A controller in the storage device may receive the threshold temperature value(s) from the host computing device and may throttle operating performance of the storage device based on a sensed operating temperature of the storage device compared relative to the stored threshold temperature value associated with the host computing device.

Abstract: Embodiments provide for using two encryption keys to encrypt data instead of only one as is customarily used in the industry. According to various embodiments, a default encryption key is generated and is initially used to encrypt data, while a second encryption key is available for generation by an end user. Embodiments provide that data is encrypted with the default key until the user generates their own key, after this event, all data is encrypted with key generated by the user.
