  • Patent number: 8810250
    Abstract: Various systems, methods and apparatus are described for detecting an excessive or faulty ground current in a conductive wire or electronic device. A ground current detector is coupled to a known earth ground to determine whether other ground lines are carrying excessive, faulty and/or leaking currents. If these types of unsafe conditions are detected, then a user can take appropriate action to locate and correct these problems.

  • Publication number: 20110296100
    Abstract: To migrate data from a first storage system to a second storage system, the second storage system detects a migration of a persistent storage media from the first storage system to the second storage system. In response to detecting the migration of the persistent storage media, write information from a write cache in the first storage system is copied to a write cache in the second storage system, where the write caches in the first and second storage systems were not maintained synchronously before the write information from the write cache in the first storage system is copied to the write cache in the second storage system.
