  • CAPTURE OF EMMC CARD IDENTIFICATION FOR COMPONENT TRACEABILITY OF PCIE DAUGHTER CARD
    Publication number: 20230297945
    Abstract: An inventory management system includes a first device having a first inventory identifier that uniquely identifies the first device. The first device includes a second device that has a second inventory identifier stored in a non-volatile memory of the second device. The second inventory identifier uniquely identifies the second device. A processing device is configured to execute code that reads the second inventory identifier from the non-volatile memory of the second device. An inventory log receives the second inventory identifier from the processing device, and associates the first device with the second inventory identifier.

  • System and method for a high retention module interface
    Patent number: 9301393
    Abstract: A device includes a substrate, a first antenna connection, and a first retention mechanism. The substrate has a top surface and a bottom surface. The first antenna connection is mounted directly to the top surface of the substrate, and is configured to connect with a first antenna. The first retention mechanism is connected at a first location of the bottom surface of the substrate to provide support for the substrate at the first antenna connection when the first antenna connection is connected to the first antenna. The first location of the first retention mechanism is selected to be directly below the first antenna connection.
