  • Publication number: 20240168528
    Abstract: An information handling system bay accepts plural communication carriers having storage communication support, such as in compliance with OCP3.0. The communication carrier has a support structure to support processing components, such as a network interface controller coupled to a printed circuit board, and coupled within the bay by a latch having a member extending from one end to engage the bay housing and latching an opposite chamfered end with a pin coupled to a spring loaded button. A press on the button away from the latch releases the chamfered end from the pin so support structure member is free from the housing bay to remove the communication carrier.

  • Publication number: 20240080253
    Abstract: Some implementations relate to methods, systems, and computer-readable media for detection and monitoring of available uptime which measures both how accessible a computer system is and how well it is functioning. In some implementations, a computer-implemented method includes determining a number of health check ping responses to a health check ping that are received from a computer system during an allotted timeframe, determining a number of non-error responses measured by the computer system during the allotted timeframe, aggregating the number of health check ping responses and the number of non-error responses to determine a number of partially to fully functioning periods associated with the computer system over a larger time interval, and outputting a system health metric based upon overall functionality of the system over the larger time interval.

  • Publication number: 20180302116
    Abstract: There is provided a removable casing for an electronic device, the casing including: a battery for powering the electronic device; a cavity for receiving the electronic device; a pivoting connector extending from the cavity, for interconnecting the electronic device to the battery; the pivoting connector configured to pivot between: a first position in which the connector extends at an angle relative to a rear surface of the casing, thereby allowing the electronic device to be connected to or disconnected from the connector when the electronic device is oriented at said angle to the back surface of the casing; a second position in which the connector is substantially parallel to the rear surface and allowing the electronic device, when connected to the connector, to be substantially parallel to the back surface and received within the cavity. The removable casing may have antimicrobial agents, wireless communication devices, or UV resistant coatings.

  • Patent number: 6624898
    Abstract: A wafer supporting plate suitable for supporting a wafer during a semiconductor-forming process. In particular, the present invention relates to a wafer supporting plate capable of sensing the positioning condition of the wafer on the supporting plate during a heat treatment or other semiconductor-forming processes for detecting whether the wafer is being positioned normally on the supporting plate. The wafer supporting plate comprises a supporting plate body, at least three supporting props disposed on the supporting plate body for receiving and supporting a wafer, at least three sensing devices each disposed besides the supporting props and within the range encircled by the supporting props on the supporting plate body respectively.

  • Patent number: 6179915
    Abstract: A track coater unit cup set for using in a wafer spin coating process comprises a hollow concave circular base cup, a hollow convex circular inner cup, and a hollow convex circular outer cup. The base cup has an inner circular groove with an inner groove wall and an eccentric outer circular groove with an outer circular groove wall. The inner cup capable of resting upon the base cup by engaging a downward protruding ring with the inner groove wall of the base cup on a meshing interface in between. The outer cup for shielding above top of the inner cup and capable of resting upon the base cup has a central top opening and a ring of inward tip extruding downward from an edge of the outer cup for forming the top opening. A stall-flow region is defined between the inward tip and adjacent insides of the outer cup. The meshing interface further includes at least a set of anchoring means for avoiding relative slipping between the base cup and the inner cup.
