Filed:

Jun 22, 2004

Appl. No.:

10/873955

Inventors:

Richard Tran - Santa Ana CA, US
Nancy Tran - Santa Ana CA, US

International Classification:

H05K 5/00

US Classification:

361686, 713201, 709225

Abstract:

A computer system including a switch box and bracket assembly including one or more manual switches are provided for controlling the selective activation and deactivation of the computer systems' memory storage devices and network system. Preferably, the computer system includes a wire harnesses including a network cable for connecting a network to the bracket assembly's input port, a relay cable for connecting the bracket assembly's output port to the computer's network port and a manual switch. Instead of network communications being transmitted directly from the network to the network port, the signals are rerouted through the bracket assembly's input port, manual switch and output port, and then routed to the computer's network port. Access to the network is then controlled by simple manual manipulation of a button, toggle or knob to create an open or closed circuit.

Appl. No.:

10/808766

Inventors:

Richard Tran - Santa Ana CA, US
Nancy Tran - Santa Ana CA, US

International Classification:

G06F013/00

US Classification:

710100000

Abstract:

A computer system including a switch box is provided for controlling the selective activation and deactivation of the computer systems' memory storage devices. The switch box includes one or more pairs of switches with each pair including a power switch and a signal switch. The power switch selectively provides power to the corresponding power switches. Meanwhile, the signal switch selectively provides an open or closed circuit for allowing or restricting the transmission of data signals between the computers processor and memory storage device.

International Classification:

G06F 13/00

US Classification:

710100000

Abstract:

A computer system is provided including a variety of switch components for controlling the selective activation and deactivation of the computer systems' memory storage devices, network system and interface peripheral devices. The switching components may include a switch box having one or more switches for controlling activation and deactivation of various computer components. The switch components may also include a bracket assembly having an input port, output port and an intermediate manual switch for controlling the communication between a network and a computer's processor. The bracket assembly and switch box may also be constructed to control the transmission or restriction of power or data signals to a memory storage device or may control the transmission of power or data signals to one or more interface peripheral ports.
