Publication number: 20250040075Abstract: A computing device include a chassis, a mounting ear, a lever, and a locking unit. The chassis holds one or more electronic devices and is insertable into a rack, such as a server rack. The mounting ear is coupled to the chassis. The lever is rotatably coupled to the mounting ear and is rotatable between a first position and a second position. In the first position, the lever engages the rack to prevent the chassis from being removed. In the second position, the lever disengages the rack and allows the chassis to be removed. The locking unit is coupled to the mounting ear and transitions between locked and unlocked states. In the locked state, the locking unit secures the lever in the first position. In the unlocked state, the lever is movable from the first position to the second position.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 30, 2023Publication date: January 30, 2025Inventors: Yaw-Tzorng TSORNG, Ming-Lung WANG, Hung-Wei CHEN, Yu-Cheng CHANG, Pei-Jung HSIEH

Patent number: 11730139Abstract: An automatic feeding device includes an accommodating container, a transmission channel, a valve unit, a sensor and an ejection unit. The transmission channel is disposed on bottom of the accommodating container. The transmission channel has an inlet portion, a central portion and an outlet portion. The central portion is between the inlet portion and the outlet portion. The valve unit is disposed on the bottom of the accommodating container and adjacent to the inlet portion. The valve unit is switchable to allow feed inside the accommodating container for passing the inlet portion and entering the transmission channel. The sensor is disposed on the inlet portion and detects whether the feed passes the inlet portion, and further outputs a control command to switch modes of the valve unit. The ejection unit is disposed on the central portion and used to push the feed inside the transmission channel toward the outlet portion.Type: GrantFiled: August 18, 2021Date of Patent: August 22, 2023Assignee: VIVOTEK INC.Inventor: Ming-Wei Wang

Patent number: 11372317Abstract: A camera supporting device includes a supporting frame, an outer casing, a camera holding structure, and a linkage mechanism. The outer casing is rotatably connected to the supporting frame. The camera holding structure is rotatably connected to the supporting frame independently of the outer casing. The linkage mechanism incudes a driving part and a driven part kinematically connected to the driving part. The driving part is fixedly connected to the camera holding structure. The driven part is fixedly connected to the outer casing. An image-capturing device can be fixed on the camera holding structure. Through the camera holding structure driving the outer casing through the linkage mechanism, the outer casing can provide a wider angle range available for the image-capturing device to capturing exterior images.Type: GrantFiled: September 13, 2020Date of Patent: June 28, 2022Assignee: VIVOTEK INC.Inventors: Shao-Tzu Hsu, Ming-Wei Wang, Chang-Ping Hu, Hsiao-Lung Liang

Patent number: 11001478Abstract: A modular elevator sheave comprises a mandrel body, wherein multiple sheave units are arranged side by side along the mandrel body, and wherein, the outer wall of the outer circumference of the sheave unit is provided with a groove. In this structural composition, the mandrel body with multiple sheave units, which increases the overall strength and rigidity of the sheave. Furthermore, the number of sheave unit used can be increase and decrease depending on the need or situation, and it should be noted that since the sheave unit can be replaced individually when damaged, it is easier to maintain and reduce repairing costs.Type: GrantFiled: May 16, 2017Date of Patent: May 11, 2021Assignee: ZHEJIANG XCC GROUP CO., LTD.Inventors: Xu Ming Wen, Gui Lin Liang, Ming Wei Wang, Fang Chi Zhang, Chun Lan Yu

Patent number: 10769115Abstract: The concepts relate to data handling, and more specifically to data handling scenarios where data is revised on one computer and stored on another computer. One example can obtain a set of blobs relating to revisions of a file. The example can determine a target size of datastore blobs. In an instance where a total size of the set of blobs is less than the target size, this example can aggregate the set of blobs into an individual datastore blob. Otherwise, the example can identify new or edited individual blobs of the set and aggregate the new or edited individual blobs into first datastore blobs. The example can also aggregate other individual blobs of the set into second datastore blobs.Type: GrantFiled: November 8, 2018Date of Patent: September 8, 2020Assignee: Microsoft Technology Licensing, LLCInventors: Mitesh Pankaj Patel, Miko Arnab Sakhya Singha Bose, Simon Peter Clarke, David Oliver, Andrew Watson, Ming-wei Wang, Steven Rayson

Patent number: 10229124Abstract: Data to be moved from a source system to a target system, for a set of tenants, is first identified. The data is enumerated by a first computing instance in the source system to obtain an enumeration list. Data is copied from the source system to the target system based on the enumeration list by a second computing instance. The data in the source and target systems is then enumerated by a third computing instance to determine whether any data is still to be moved and another enumeration list is generated. The data still to be moved is then moved based on the other enumeration list.Type: GrantFiled: October 2, 2015Date of Patent: March 12, 2019Assignee: Microsoft Technology Licensing, LLCInventors: David Charles Oliver, Ming-wei Wang, Gang Zhao, Daniel Keith Winter, Shyam Narayan, Parul Manek
