  • Patent number: 11856725
    Abstract: Carriers may be adapted, or configured, to allow devices received thereby to move towards and away from an interface end region. When devices are positioned proximate the interface end region of the carriers, interfaces of the devices may be presented by the carriers for operable coupling to an enclosure. When devices are positioned away from the interface end region of the carriers, interface adapters may be coupled to the interfaces of the devices, which may present a different interface for operable coupling to an enclosure.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: December 9, 2021
    Date of Patent: December 26, 2023
    Assignee: Seagate Technology LLC
    Inventors: Anil Koyad Choyikkunnil, Shankar Gopalakrishna, Saju Cheeran Verghese Francis, Kiran Padmakumari Devapalan

  • Patent number: 10455715
    Abstract: Carriers may be adapted, or configured, to secure one of a plurality of varying-sized devices received thereby. Regardless of the size of the device, an interface of the device may be positioned proximate an interface opening of the carrier for, for example, operable coupling to an enclosure. The carrier may include a first side rail, a second side rail, and a movable rail that moves between the first and second side rail to adapt, or configure, the carrier to secure the one of the plurality of varying-sized devices received thereby. For example, the movable rail may be linearly translatable between the first and second side rails.
