  • Publication number: 20240258720
    Abstract: A connector fastener extension system includes a cabling system having a cable. A cable connector is included on the cable. A connector fastener extension system is integrated on the cable connector. A fastener base on the connector fastener extension system includes the cable connector and is configured to rotate relative to the cable. A fastener extension member on the connector fastener extension system is moveably coupled to the fastener base and is configured to move away from the cable connector and towards the cable. Rotation of the fastener extension member is configured to cause rotation of the fastener base and the cable connector relative to the cable.

  • Publication number: 20240258741
    Abstract: A connector fastener extension system includes a connector fastener extension system having a fastener base and a fastener extension member. The fastener base defines a cable connector housing and a cable connector aperture adjacent the cable connector housing, with the fastener base configured to connect to a cable connector located on an end of a cable by positioning the cable connector in the cable connector housing such that at least a portion of the cable connector extends through the cable connector aperture. The fastener extension member is moveably coupled to the fastener base and configured to move away from the fastener base and towards the cable when the cable connector is connected to the fastener base, with rotation of the fastener extension member configured to cause rotation of the fastener base and the cable connector relative to the cable when the cable connector is connected to the fastener base.

  • Patent number: 11003539
    Abstract: Offload processing may be provided that is not dedicated to a primary processor or a subset of primary processors. A system may have one or more offload processing devices, including one or more APUs, coupled to data storage slots of the system, which can be shared by multiple primary processors of the system. Each offload processing device may be configured to be coupled to a storage slot, for example, as if the device were a storage drive, and include an interface in conformance with a version of an NVMe specification and may have a form factor in accordance with the U.2 specification. The APU within each offload processing device may be communicatively coupled to one or more primary processors by switching fabric disposed between the one or more primary processors and the storage slot to which the offload processing device is connected.

  • Patent number: 10795612
    Abstract: Offload processing may be provided that is not dedicated to a primary processor or a subset of primary processors. A system may have one or more offload processors, for example, GPUs, coupled to data storage slots of the system, which can be shared by multiple primary processors of the system. The offload processor(s) may be housed within a device configured to be coupled to a storage slot, for example, as if the device were a storage drive. The one or more offload processors may be housed within a device that includes an interface in conformance with a version of an NVMe specification and may have a form factor in accordance with the U.2 specification. Offload processing devices may be communicatively coupled to one or more primary processors by switching fabric disposed between the one or more primary processors and the storage slot to which the offload processing device is connected.
