  • Connecting multiple peripheral interfaces into one attachment point
    Patent number: 7765358
    Abstract: An interconnect apparatus is provided for connecting at least one peripheral device to a multi-channel interface. The apparatus includes an incoming connector having a first incoming channel connector and at least one second incoming channel connector, wherein the incoming connector is operable to detachably connect to an interface cable, a first outgoing connector having a first outgoing channel connector, at least one second outgoing connector having at least one second outgoing channel connector, and routing logic operable to propagate a first signal between the first incoming channel connector and the first outgoing channel connector, and to propagate at least one second signal between the at least one second incoming channel connector and the at least one second outgoing channel connector; wherein a position of the first outgoing channel connector in the first outgoing connector corresponds to a position of the at least one second outgoing channel connector in the at least one second outgoing connector.

  • Method of generating control commands in a distributed mass data storage library network
    Patent number: 7146244
    Abstract: A method of generating command instructions for a distributed mass data storage library comprises the steps of receiving an operator request from an operator, determining at least one command for at least one intelligent library component in response to the operator request, forming at least one command message containing the at least one command, and sending the at least one command message to the at least one intelligent library component for carrying out actions requested by the operator.
