Abstract: A method and system are provided for transmitting SATA (serial advanced technology attachment) information. In an implementation, SATA commands are passed to an expander, rather than SCSI (Small Computer System Interface) commands. In an example implementation, SATA protocol elements are encapsulated into SAS (Serial Attached SCSI)-like frames and transmitted using the SSP (Serial SCSI protocol) and using SSP hardware.

Abstract: A data storage apparatus arranged to provide redundancy in a storage enclosure containing multiple Serial ATA disk drives is disclosed. The apparatus comprises at least one disk drive of a kind having a single port for the input and output of serial data and at least two disk drive controllers each having data transmit and receive paths connected in common to the single port. The apparatus then switches control to either controller if the other should fail.

Abstract: The invention relates to an imager system for imaging of a plume of a fugitive gas, dependent upon an electromagnetic wavelength absorption characteristic of the gas. A bi-spectral selector assembly houses first and second filters in separate first and second optical paths for transmittal of electromagnetic energies emanating from the scene of interest. The first and second filters have adjacent mutually exclusive narrow band pass characteristics only one of which corresponds to the electromagnetic wavelength absorption characteristic of the gas. An imager captures first and second image data having traversed the first and second filters in a frame which is then processed by correlating the image data to provide displayable data including an indication of any plume of the fugitive gas. The data is displayed in real time. In one example a CCD video camera provides picture data which is displayed with the image of the plume of gas pasted thereupon.
