Patent number: 11856725Abstract: 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: GrantFiled: December 9, 2021Date of Patent: December 26, 2023Assignee: Seagate Technology LLCInventors: Anil Koyad Choyikkunnil, Shankar Gopalakrishna, Saju Cheeran Verghese Francis, Kiran Padmakumari Devapalan

Patent number: 11672103Abstract: An electronics enclosure can be a line replaceable unit for installation in a chassis having actively cooled cold plates. The electronics enclosure has a housing, heat spreaders, and moveable heat spreaders. The electronics enclosure can be positioned in the chassis with the moveable heat spreaders close to the housing and thereafter the moveable heat spreaders can be moved away from the housing to press against the cold plates. Heat from electronics within the electronics enclosure can pass from the housing, through the heat spreaders, through the moveable heat spreaders, and into the cold plates.Type: GrantFiled: March 6, 2020Date of Patent: June 6, 2023Assignee: QUALCOMM INCORPORATEDInventors: Shankar Gopalakrishna, Saju Cheeran Verghese Francis, Vivekananda Avvaru

Patent number: 11218632Abstract: A mobile device includes a camera module that can alternate between a retracted state and an extended state. In the retracted state, the camera module is retracted into a recess in a housing of the mobile device. In the extended state, the camera module extends from the housing. While in the extended state, one or more cameras of the camera module capture images. A processor of the mobile device stitches the images into a panoramic image that optionally provides a 360 degree view. While in the extended state, the camera module may optionally rotate or fold.Type: GrantFiled: November 1, 2019Date of Patent: January 4, 2022Assignee: QUALCOMM IncorporatedInventors: Shankar Gopalakrishna, Saju Cheeran Verghese Francis, Praveensingh Rajput

Patent number: 10622025Abstract: A storage chassis may be adapted, or configured, to secure a plurality of carrierless devices (e.g., without the use of a carrier or drive tray) received thereby. The storage chassis may include a base, a first drive wall coupled to and extending from the base, and a second drive wall coupled to and extending from the base. The first drive wall may be spaced apart from the second drive wall. The base, the first drive wall, and the second drive wall may define a row of drive slots and each drive slot of the row of drive slots may be configured to receive a carrierless device. Further, the storage chassis may include a plate extending across the row of drive slots and may be configured to extend over the carrierless devices received by the row of drive slots.Type: GrantFiled: June 5, 2018Date of Patent: April 14, 2020Assignee: Seagate Technology LLCInventors: Shankar Gopalakrishna, Saju Cheeran Verghese Francis, Odie Killen, Anil Koyad Choyikkunnil
