Publication number: 20140237770Abstract: A handle module, a hard disk drive (HDD) assembly, and a server are provided. The server includes a case with a mounting hole, a main board, and the HDD assembly. The HDD assembly includes a tray with two slide rails and a fixing hole, a HDD, the handle module, and a rubber pad. The handle module includes a handle with a body plate and a sidewall, a backing sheet, and a switch button. The body plate has a first opening and an inner surface. The sidewall has a second opening. The switch button is disposed between the backing sheet and the inner surface and has a first protrusion protruded out of the first opening and a second protrusion. The number of components disassembled from the server relies on the relative position between the second protrusion and the second opening, the fixing hole, and the mounting hole.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 18, 2013Publication date: August 28, 2014Applicant: Cal-Comp Electrics & Communications Company LimitedInventor: Chien-Tsai Chou

Patent number: 7667344Abstract: In one embodiment, a system for coupling communications signals to an underground medium-voltage power line includes a medium-voltage power line, a ground conductor, one or more ferrites, and a low-voltage communications line. The medium-voltage power line includes a center phase conductor and a concentric neutral conductor. The ground conductor couples the concentric neutral conductor to a ground connection. The one or more ferrites substantially surround at least a portion of the ground conductor. The low-voltage communications line includes a first conductor and a second conductor. The first conductor is coupled to the ground conductor between the one or more ferrites and the concentric neutral conductor. And the second conductor is coupled to the ground conductor between the one or more ferrites and the ground connection.Type: GrantFiled: June 23, 2006Date of Patent: February 23, 2010Assignee: International Broadband Electric Communications, Inc.Inventors: Brent R. Zitting, Thomas R. Parker, III, William D. Hudson

Patent number: 7319717Abstract: In one embodiment, a device for enabling communications signals over a medium voltage power line includes a first modem, a second modem, a third modem, and one or more switches. The first modem is electrically coupled to a medium voltage power line and is adapted to receive communications signals from the medium voltage power line. The second modem is electrically coupled to the medium voltage power line and is adapted to transmit communications signals to the medium voltage power line. The third modem is electrically coupled to a low voltage power line and is adapted to transmit communications signals to the low voltage power line. The one or more switches are coupled to the first modem, the second modem, and the third modem, and they are operable to transfer communications signals between two or more of the first modem, the second modem, and the third modem.Type: GrantFiled: June 28, 2005Date of Patent: January 15, 2008Assignee: International Broadband Electric Communications, Inc.Inventor: Brent R. Zitting

Patent number: 7245377Abstract: A colorimetry device having a light source for irradiating light to a measured object, a cover part provided with a take-out port for taking out light diffused from the measured object, and a placing part on which the measured object is placed, the measured object being put between the cover part and the placing part, so as to effect the color measurement of the measured object. A hinge mechanism is provided, so that when the measured object is placed on the placing part and the cover part is in a closed state, a measurement space dividing section for defining a measurement space between the cover part and the placing part is provided. A measuring light may also be arranged to irradiate the rear face of the measured object.Type: GrantFiled: March 11, 2005Date of Patent: July 17, 2007Assignee: Yokohama Electric Communications & Solutions Co., Ltd.Inventors: Naoyuki Terakura, Yasuyoshi Ota

Patent number: 5991779Abstract: A process and system for distributed garbage collection in a distributed network includes transmission of a root request message tagged with a unique identifier from a suspect node to all nodes of the suspect node's inverse reference graph looking for a rooted (persistent) object. Objects respond to the root request message with an affirmative or disregard response (indicating a root or coupling to a root) tagged with the same identifier or that no relevant garbage collecting information is available from a particular branch. The suspect node, in the absence of any affirmative responses, is identified as obsolete (garbage) and may be collected. Other objects having the same identifier are identified and/or collected as garbage as well.Type: GrantFiled: September 14, 1998Date of Patent: November 23, 1999Assignee: Electric CommunitiesInventor: Arturo Bejar

Patent number: 5958050Abstract: A trust manager examines each new class before it is allowed to execute by examining a policy file which includes data structures defining security policies of the user system, a certificate repository for storing a plurality of certificates, a certificate being a data record which is digitally signed and which certifies claims relevant to a security evaluation, a code examiner adapted to analyze the portion of code to determine potential resource use of the portion of code and a trust evaluator adapted to evaluate certificate requirements of the portion of code based on policy rules extracted from the policy file and the potential resource use specified by the code examiner. The trust evaluator also determines, from certificates from the certificate repository and a code identifier identifying the portion of code, whether execution of the portion of code is allowed by the policy rules given the potential resource use, the code supplier and applicable certificates.Type: GrantFiled: December 26, 1996Date of Patent: September 28, 1999Assignee: Electric CommunitiesInventors: Claire Griffin, Douglas Barnes
