365226, 36518907, 36518909, 365191
Abstract:
Power supplied to a memory module is provided. A first voltage is supplied to a first power distribution pathway, the first voltage being from a voltage supplied to a printed circuit board on which the memory module resides. A second voltage is generated, the second voltage being generated by a voltage regulator. The second voltage is supplied to a second power distribution pathway.

Abstract:
Embodiments of a mass storage device having a locking mechanism are described. The mass storage device includes a wireless reader to receive identification data from a wireless transponder, and to determine if the identification data matches a pre-stored data. The mass storage device includes a first controller device to enable access to at least a portion of a mass storage unit when the wireless reader determines that the identification data matches the pre-stored data. In one embodiment, a method of locking a mass storage device is described. The method includes receiving first identification data from a first wireless transponder at a mass storage device and unlocking the mass storage device upon determining that the first identification data matches a first pre-stored data.
