A banner stand having a banner having generally opposed major surfaces, the banner having graphics presented with at least one of the major surfaces. The banner stand further includes a base and a post extending upwardly from the base, the post operably supporting the banner when the banner is in an upright mode. The banner stand also including a curved form having a curved surface for operably supporting the banner in a curved shape, and a retaining portion presented with the curved surface, the retaining portion having an operable surface engageable with at least one of the major surfaces to retain the banner in the curved shape. The operable surface provides a coefficient of friction between the banner and the operable surface that is greater than a coefficient of friction between the banner and the curved surface without the retaining portion.

A method is disclosed to reconfigure a storage array. The method supplies a data storage and retrieval system comprising (N) data storage device assemblies, wherein each of those (N) data storage device assemblies comprises (M) data storage devices, wherein (N) is greater than or equal to 2, and wherein (M) is greater than or equal to 2. The method configures those (N) data storage device assemblies to comprise a spare data storage device assembly and a first storage array comprising the remaining (N−1) data storage device assemblies. In the event Applicants' method detects a failed data storage device disposed in the first storage array, then the method forms a second storage array comprising the first storage array, except the failed data storage device, in combination with a data storage device disposed in the spare data storage device assembly.

In a fibre channel, arbitrated loop (FC-AL) network environment, an operating speed of devices within a switch domain within the network is optimized. The FC-AL switch domain is isolated from an attached storage controller, and a first signal is transmitted to each of a plurality of storage devices within the domain. The first signal comprises a request that each storage device transmit inquiry data to a control and management node (CMN) within the domain. In response to receipt of the inquiry data from each storage device, the speeds at which each storage device is operable are identified and an operational speed is then established for the domain. The established speed may be the fastest speed at which all devices can operate. Alternatively, one or more slower devices may be bypassed and the established speed may be the fastest speed at which all remaining devices can operate.

An information storage and retrieval system is disclosed, wherein that information storage and retrieval system comprises a storage controller, comprising one or more host adapter ports, one or more device adapter ports, a processor, and a Fibre Channel switch. The information storage and retrieval system further comprises a Fibre Channel switch controller consisting essentially of a Fibre Channel switch and a processor. The system further comprises a plurality of data storage devices, where each of those data storage devices is interconnected with the storage controller and with the Fibre Channel switch controller.

An apparatus is disclosed to convert data from a first sector format to a second sector format. The sector format conversion device includes a processor, and microcode which causes the processor to overlay (N) first sectors having a first sector format onto (M) second sectors having a second sector format, where that sector format conversion device does not include an operating system comprising a user mode and a kernel mode.
摘要:
A folding table includes a pair of opposed semi-oval tabletops, a foldable linkage, and a storage position lock. The foldable linkages fold the tabletops about an axis from a use position to a storage position or a shipping position. In the storage position an automatically engaging lock assembly prevents the foldable table from unexpectedly moving to the shipping position or the use position.

A closure is provided for a container and includes a base which preferably has an attached lid. The base includes a body for mounting to the container, and the body defines a dispensing orifice and spout. A tamper-evident seal initially closes the dispensing orifice. The body is injection molded from a first material. The tamper-evident seal structure is subsequently injection-molded from a second material. The seal structure includes a peripheral portion molded against the base body and attached thereto. The seal structure includes a partition consisting only of the second material extending across the dispensing orifice and connected around its periphery to the seal structure peripheral portion with a frangible, reduced thickness section of the second material. A grip member extends from the partition for being pulled to tear only the partition and grip member together away from the seal structure peripheral portion so as to open the dispensing orifice.

A tamper-evident closure is provided with a base having a deck with a discharge aperture. A lid is included for covering the discharge aperture on the base. The lid defines a latch aperture. The base has a resilient locking lever that projects from the base deck and through the lid latch aperture when the lid is closed. The lever engages the lid and holds the lid closed. A tamper-indicating element is provided on the lid to prevent operation of the lever. The element is attached to the lid with frangible portions which can be broken when sufficient force is applied to remove at least a part of the element and permit operation of the lever whereby another part of the element remains on the lid to provide evidence that part of the element has been removed.
