  • Patent number: 8001417
    Abstract: In one embodiment, the invention provides a method for repairing a defective storage device in a physical storage-device array having a plurality of storage devices. The method comprises the steps of identifying a disk error associated with the defective storage device; effecting an error recovery pause based on the disk error; processing one or more outstanding data storage or retrieval requests; and generating a new data storage request instructing the physical disk device array having the defective storage device to store valid data associated with the data storage or retrieval request corresponding to the disk device error, whereby the defective storage device is repaired.

  • Patent number: 7861036
    Abstract: In one embodiment, the invention provides a method for accessing a physical storage-device array comprising a plurality of storage devices. The method includes (1) obtaining at least one parameter from a profile selected from two or more profiles concurrently defining two or more virtual arrays, each profile defining (i) a different virtual array associated with a corresponding set of storage devices and (ii) a parameter set of one or more parameters used for accessing the virtual array; and (2) generating an instruction, based on the at least one parameter, for accessing, or disallowing access to, information in the virtual array defined by the selected profile, wherein a parameter in each the parameter set defined by each profile indicates whether two or more storage devices in the corresponding virtual array are degraded.

  • Patent number: 6720664
    Abstract: A submount holder for flip chip packaging of light emitting diode (LED) includes a substrate on which a body is formed. The submount body defines a cavity sized and shaped to snugly receive an LED die therein. The cavity precisely retains the die in position and prevents the die from arbitrary movement during a packaging and wiring process. First and second connection sections are formed on opposite sides of the cavity and respectively connected to the cavity by a channel. A conductively layer is formed on the substrate in the cavity, the first and second connection sections and the channels connecting the connection sections and the cavity. A groove is defined in the body and extends through the cavity with the connection sections located on opposite sides of the groove. The conductive layer is divided by the groove into separated and isolated portions.
