  • Patent number: 12265739
    Abstract: The present invention discloses a data access interface unit comprising: a physical storage device controller for receiving a first control signal from a first storage virtualization controller, and accordingly determining the first storage virtualization controller as the primary controller, and generating a first selection signal; a selector for receiving the first selection signal, and accordingly selecting data and signals from the first storage virtualization controller; and a clock generation circuit for providing a dedicated clock signal to the physical storage device, where when the physical storage device controller receives a re-set signal from a second storage virtualization controller, the physical storage device controller determines the second storage virtualization controller as the new primary controller, and accordingly generates a second selection signal so as to control the selector to select data and signals from the second storage virtualization controller.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 8082368
    Abstract: A display device for indicating connection statuses of a communication channel between two systems is disclosed, the communication channel having a plurality of communication links. The display device comprises a detecting circuit coupled to the communication channel for detecting a plurality of link statuses of the communication links; an indicator controller coupled to the detecting circuit for determining the connection statuses of the communication channel according to the link statuses; and an LED indicator coupled to the indicator controller for displaying in a plurality of statuses according to the connection statuses from the indicator controller; wherein the connection statuses comprise a first connection status indicating that all the link statuses are “ON”, a second connection status indicating that all the link statuses are “OFF”, and a third connection status indicating that at least one of the link statuses is “ON” and at least one of the link statuses is “OFF”.
