摘要:
A method, system, and computer program product are provided for communicating to a powered element in a rack system. A controller injects communication data onto power lines that provides power to a plurality of powered elements. The powered elements determine if the communication data transmitted via the power lines should be used for configuration using an address embedded within the communication data. The powered elements compare an embedded target address within the communication data to the address of the particular element. If there is a match between the addresses, the corresponding powered element processes the communication data to configure the powered element. As a result, data may be communicated over the power lines thereby eliminating the need for separate communication lines. Thus, the amount of cables required to interconnect the powered elements of the distributed data processing system may be reduced by eliminating the communication lines from the system configuration.

An apparatus, system, and method are disclosed for resetting an inter-integrated circuit data line with a clock line. A hang module detects that a data line that carries data between an I2C bus master and an I2C bus slave is hung, wherein the I2C bus master and I2C bus slave communicate over the data line and a clock line that carries a clock signal. The clock module increases a clock line frequency to a specified frequency in response to the detected data line hang. The pulse generation module transmits specified clock pulses from the I2C bus master to the I2C bus slave over the clock line at the specified increased frequency in response to the detected data line hang. A frequency detector module detects clock pulses at the specified increased frequency. A timer module detects the specified clock pulses at the specified increased frequency. A reset module resets the I2C bus slave in response detecting the specified clock pulses.

Provided are a method, system, and article of manufacture wherein at least a first zone is maintained in a fibre channel arbitrated loop system, and wherein a plurality of storage devices is included in the first zone. A determination is made that diagnostic operations have to be performed on a storage device that is included in the plurality of storage devices. A second zone is generated, wherein the second zone includes the storage device on which the diagnostic operations have to be performed, and wherein the storage device is removed from the plurality of storage devices in the first zone leaving a remaining set of storage devices in the first zone. Diagnostic operations are performed on the storage device in the second zone while other operations are performed on the remaining set of storage devices in the first zone.

摘要:
A mechanism is provided for storage enclosures to communicate with one another using pre-existing cables allowing the user to dynamically attach different types and speeds of Fibre Channel enclosures together. The mechanism uses a transmit disable line and receive loss of signal line of a small form-factor pluggable optical cable to provide a communication link between enclosures before the Fibre Channel loop is setup and stable. The mechanism on the transmit side pulses the transmit disable line to communicate configuration information. The mechanism on the receive side receives the configuration information on the receive loss of signal line. The transmit disable line and the receive loss of signal line operate as a one-wire communication scheme, providing a communication link to communicate configuration information before the Fibre Channel loop is established.

A process for in-molding an energy-absorbing countermeasure to a headliner 18 for use in a vehicle. The process includes the steps of (1) preparing a sheet; (1A) optionally affixing to the sheet a means for adhering to form a composite sheet; (2) thermoforming the composite sheet into a composite energy-absorbing countermeasure; (3) preparing a headliner layup (including optionally a means for adhering, a headliner core, and a cover stock) before forming a bond between the headliner layup and the composite energy-absorbing countermeasure. The assembly thus includes the energy-absorbing countermeasure 22 and a means for adhering it to the headliner core 18.

An energy absorbing assembly 10 is provided for decelerating an object that impacts the assembly. The assembly comprises an incident member 12 having an incident surface 14 that meets the impacting object and at least one energy absorbing member 16 attached to an attachment region 17 of an opposing face 18 of the incident member 12 for accommodating deformation of the assembly 10. The energy absorbing member 16 comprises a lattice of interconnected strands 20, wherein the strands 20 intersect to define a plurality of cells 22. The energy absorbing member 16 is oriented such that the plane of each cell 22 is substantially perpendicular to the attachment region 17 in order to maximize energy absorption over a given distance. The lattice collapses and at least some of the cells 22 become at least partially closed during energy absorption.
