  • Patent number: 11612061
    Abstract: Methods and systems for creating a device having a switch trace are disclosed. The systems and methods described herein may include a device that has a chassis, the chassis having a top and a bottom, at least one antenna affixed to the top of the chassis, a first laser direct structuring-fabricated (LDS) trace, a second LDS trace, and a button, the button connected to the first LDS trace and the top of the chassis, wherein the button is configured to contact the second LDS trace when the button is depressed and complete a circuit between the first LDS trace and the second LDS trace upon contact.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 9983970
    Abstract: Utilities (e.g., methods, systems, apparatuses, etc.) for use in automatically identifying improper physical connections in storage networks and recommending particular actions (e.g., changes to existing physical connections) that seek to ensure symmetric and redundant connections from a data host through all associated storage enclosures and reduce the likelihood that single failures prevent access to storage system data.

  • Publication number: 20050010747
    Abstract: an automated method of establishing a filesystem utilizing the establishment of a first filesystem that interfaces with devices by loading software, including a first set of drivers, into memory and initializing the first set of drivers with the devices. The first filesystem is then mounted on a root directory that comprises a single storage device. The method allows input/output functionality within the first filesystem and, while input/output functionality is available to the first filesystem, the method accesses the single storage device to obtain software, including a second set of drivers. The method loads the software into the memory and initializes the second set of drivers with the devices to establish a second filesystem. The second filesystem is mounted on a root directory comprising the single storage device and another storage device and the first filesystem is then rendered inactive.
