Abstract: Markings visible by automatic optically guided cutting equipment are provided in a fabric such as a double layer fabric for one-piece-woven air bags by groups of black marker weft yarns which contrast with the other (white) weft yarns and warp yarns. The marker weft yarns emerge onto the upper face of the fabric only in predetermined marker areas spaced apart in the warp direction by other white weft yarns to afford optically identifiable markings spaced apart along said weft yarns and spaced apart along the direction of the warp yarns. The arrangement avoids the need for black warp yarns and thus avoids the inconveniences and loom down-time associated with required alterations to the locations of such optically detectable marker areas in the fabric web.

Abstract: SAS topology is managed. Internally within a SAS device on a SAS network, a performance characteristic of a PHY of the SAS device is monitored. Internally within the SAS device, it is determined, based on the performance characteristic, that the PHY has a problem, and, based on the determination, the PHY is affected to help prevent the PHY from adversely affecting communications on the SAS network.

Abstract: Enclosure numbering is performed in redundant array of independent disk (RAID) data storage systems. If first, second, and third boards in an enclosure indicate a first enclosure number, the enclosure is indicated as having the first enclosure number. If at least the first and second boards indicate the first enclosure number, the enclosure is indicated as having the first enclosure number. If the first board does not indicate any enclosure number, indicating that the enclosure's enclosure number is unknown.
