  • Power-loss protection
    Patent number: 10719402
    Abstract: Power loss in a client device is detected. In response to the detecting of the power loss, an electronic card is alerted that the power loss is about to occur, where the electronic card includes a volatile storage and a non-volatile storage. A transfer of data from the volatile storage to the non-volatile storage is triggered in response to the alert.
    Type: Grant

  • PORT MODES FOR STORAGE DRIVES
    Publication number: 20180165031
    Abstract: Examples described herein including receiving a first address from a host controller and receiving a second address from the host controller. The first address may be for a first PHY and the second address may be for a second PHY. Based on the first address and the second address, a port mode for a storage drive associated with the first PHY and the second PHY may be determined.

  • Battery disable/enable control circuitry of a portable computing device
    Patent number: 7429848
    Abstract: A portable computing device includes at least three buttons and circuitry for sensing the pressing of at least three buttons, one being recessed, and in response to such sensing provides a battery disable signal to a non-removable battery. The portable computing device further includes circuitry for sensing the coupling of the device to a device cradle, and in response to such coupling, or in response to the press of the recess button, provides a battery enable signal to the non-removable battery.
