Abstract: A method for operating a system based on fingerprint scanning inputs includes receiving, by a fingerprint sensor, a fingerprint input and providing, from a processor coupled with the fingerprint sensor, fingerprint feature data representing features of the fingerprint input. The method also includes executing a first command, by the processor, if comparing the fingerprint feature data with at least a portion of stored fingerprint data results in a first match reflecting that the fingerprint input occurred in a first direction and executing a second command that is different from the first command, by the processor, if comparing the fingerprint feature data with the at least a portion of the stored fingerprint data results in a second match reflecting that the fingerprint input occurred in a second direction.

Abstract: Disclosed is a redundant storage virtualization subsystem (SVS) having branching functionality. The SVS comprises a first and a second storage virtualization controller (SVC) and a physical storage device (PSD) array. A first and a second data path are provided between the first SVC and the PSD array passing through a first and a second signal integrity enhancing device (SIED), respectively, and configured as a first pair of redundant data paths. A third and a fourth data path are provided between the second SVC and the PSD array passing through the second and the first SIED, respectively, and configured as a second pair of redundant data paths. In view of the PSD array, the first and fourth data paths form a third redundant data path pair for a PSD, and the third and second data paths form a fourth redundant data path pair for a PSD.

Abstract: A storage virtualization computer system. The storage virtualization computer system comprises a host entity for issuing an IO request, a storage virtualization controller coupled to the host entity for executing IO operations in response to the IO request, and a at least one physical storage device, each coupled to the storage virtualization controller through a point-to-point serial-signal interconnect, for providing storage to the storage virtualization computer system through the storage virtualization controller. As an example, the point-to-point serial-signal interconnect can be a Serial ATA IO device interconnect.

Abstract: Disclosed is a storage virtualization subsystem (SVS) architecture comprising a plurality of SVSs, each SVS comprising at least one storage virtualization controller (SVC), and, in some cases, a physical storage disk (PSD) array attached to the SVC. A first and a second data access path is configured passing through the SVSs to form the SVS architecture such that when one path is failed, the other can be taken as a substitution. The SVSs in the first path are connected in a first sequence and the SVSs in the second path are connected in a second sequence different from the first one. In another embodiment, each SVS comprises a plurality of redundantly-configured SVCs rather than one SVC. The first path is formed passing through a first set of SVCs and the second path is formed passing through a different second set of SVCs.

Abstract: The present invention provides pharmaceutically acceptable salts having local anesthetic and anti-inflammatory activities. The preferred pharmaceutically acceptable salt is a diclofenac salt of lidocaine. Diclofenac is a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (“NSAID”). Lidocaine is a local anesthetic. Other NSAID (except the salicylic acid derivatives of NSAID) can be used to replace diclofenac and/or other local anesthetics can be used to replace lidocaine. The pharmaceutically acceptable salts are crystalline compounds, which are distinctively different from either the NSAID alone or the local anesthetic alone, as indicated by differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), High Performance Liquid Chromatography (HPLC) and Fourier-Transformed Infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR) analyses.
