  • Publication number: 20240111450
    Abstract: A computer-implemented method for effectively delivering notifications in data storage environments includes, receiving, by a storage controller from a host system, a request to register the host system with the storage controller to receive notifications. These notifications may be associated with a selected type of event detected by the storage controller. In certain embodiments, the selected type of event is a space-related condition associated with a particular storage resource controlled by the storage controller. The computer-implemented method registers the host system with the storage controller. In response to detecting an event of the selected type on the storage controller, the computer-implemented method transmits a notification from the storage controller to the host system to provide notice of the event. A corresponding system and computer program product are also disclosed.

  • Patent number: 6000948
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a connector assembly for a microphone which allows the microphone and cord to be independently rotated thereby preventing the cord from twisting and distorting. The device includes a first connector having a cylindrical housing with a plurality of female ports on an end thereof for receiving the male prongs on an end of the microphone. Received within the cylindrical housing proximal the opposing end are a plurality of spring biased pins in electrical communication with the ports. The device also includes a second connector having a cylindrical housing which may be rotatably coupled to the first connector. An end of the housing is open and has a horizontal, substantially circular circuit board proximal thereto. On the upper surface of the circular circuit board are a plurality of concentric electrically conductive paths.
