Patent number: 11055322Abstract: Examples include comparison of a part key to machine keys. Examples include identification of a part key assigned to a given machine identifier in a part key mapping of a part received by a computing device, the part key mapping including a plurality of part keys assigned to a plurality of machine identifiers. Examples also include comparison of the identified part key to machine keys stored on the computing device to determine whether the identified part key matches any of the machine keys, and based at least in part on a result of the determination, enabling or inhibiting further utilization of the part.Type: GrantFiled: July 30, 2018Date of Patent: July 6, 2021Assignee: Hewlett Packard Enterprise Development LPInventors: Stephen K. Gee, Neil Asmussen

Patent number: 7050307Abstract: Circuit board orientation in a computer system. A system includes a first set of circuit boards and a second set of circuit boards. The first set of circuit boards may be mated via a first and second set of connectors to the second set of circuit boards such that the first set of circuit boards is oriented substantially orthogonal with respect to the second set of circuit boards. Each of the boards may be accessible and hot swappable.Type: GrantFiled: June 28, 2002Date of Patent: May 23, 2006Assignee: Sun Microsystems, Inc.Inventors: Drew G. Doblar, Robert E. Cypher, Stephen K. Gee

Patent number: 6890184Abstract: An electrical connector for conveying signals between two circuit boards includes a first connector portion including a first array of board contacts for connection to a first corresponding footprint on a first circuit board. The connector also includes a second connector portion including a second array of board contacts for connection to a second corresponding footprint on a second circuit board. The signals include a plurality of signal groups each including a different plurality of related signals. Each of the signal groups is assigned to a grouping of related board contacts of the first array and to a corresponding grouping of related board contacts of the second array. When the first connector portion and the second connector portion are mated, each grouping of board contacts of the first array is electrically coupled to the corresponding grouping of board contacts in a transposed location in the second array.Type: GrantFiled: April 10, 2003Date of Patent: May 10, 2005Assignee: Sun Microsystems, Inc.Inventors: Drew G. Doblar, Han Y. Ko, Stephen K. Gee
