09/995887

Inventors:

Henry C. Coles - Saratoga CA
Hector Vidales - Campbell CA
Joseph R. Allen - Tomball TX
Tri Nguyen - Sunnyvale CA

Assignee:

Hewlett-Packard Development Company, L.P. - Houston TX

International Classification:

G06F 116

US Classification:

361726, 360137, 364 781, 3122231

Abstract:

A technique is provided for coupling and uncoupling modular devices with electronic and computing devices. A latch is coupled to a release member, which operates to release the latch from a mate latch by bending the release member to move the latch laterally away from the mate latch. The release member also may have grips for tool-lessly bending the release member to release the latch from the mate latch, and for removing the desired device. The technique also may embody a modular device having the latch and release member, or it may embody an overall system having the modular device disposed in a receptacle.

11/215207

Inventors:

Joseph Allen - San Carlos CA, US

Assignee:

Seagate Technology LLC - Scotts Valley CA

International Classification:

G11B 5/127
H04R 31/00

US Classification:

2960303, 2960304, 2960306, 2960307, 206710, 206711, 206712, 206454, 360135, 414404, 414811, 451 5, 451 41

Abstract:

In one embodiment, a method can include providing first and second intermediate structures, each having first and second surfaces. Also, the method can include placing the first surface of the first intermediate structure adjacent to the first surface of the second intermediate structure, such that the first and second intermediate structures are in a stacked relationship. Additionally, the method can include simultaneously removing at least a portion of each of the second surfaces of the first and second intermediate structures while in the stacked relationship. Furthermore, the method can include forming a plating layer on each of the first and second surfaces of each of the first and second intermediate structures. Moreover, the method can include forming a magnetic layer on the second surface but not the first surface of each of the first and second intermediate structures.

G05F 1/66

US Classification:

429009000, 429013000, 429022000, 700286000

Abstract:

The invention relates to hybrid fuel cell systems that protect a fuel cell with a second electrical energy source. The second electrical energy source powers a load to prevent the fuel cell from witnessing stoichiometric levels that may lead to reductions in fuel cell performance or health. The hybrid fuel cell system includes an electrical circuit that electrically initiates the electrical energy source to provide power to the load in response to detecting a potential stoichiometric disturbance for the fuel cell.

International Classification:

H01B 706

US Classification:

174 69

Abstract:

A cable management system for organizing and controlling cables extending from an electronic device while providing substantially unimpeded device access, substantially unrestricted cable movement and substantially unrestricted air flow into and out of the device. The system attaches to a secure structure and is capable of boxing out from the structure to allow access to service a device positioned within the secure structure. The cable management system includes at least three cable arms of rigid material, a coupling member attached between each adjacent pair of the at least three cable arms, where the coupling member provides movement between each of the adjacent pairs of cable arms.

Abstract:

A method for the computer-assisted implementation of radiology recommendations includes any or all of: receiving a set of inputs; determining and/or identifying a set of findings; determining a set of follow-up recommendations; and triggering a set of outputs and/or actions based on the set of follow-up recommendations. A system for the computer-assisted implementation of radiology recommendations preferably includes and/or interfaces a set of computing subsystems and/or processing subsystems, but can additionally include and/or interface with a set of devices (e.g., user devices), models, and/or any other components.
