Abstract: A mounting system for a storage drive includes a mounting bracket and a plurality of fasteners. The mounting bracket includes a first sidewall and a second sidewall, parallel to and spaced apart from the first sidewall. Each of the first and second sidewalls defines a plurality of apertures therein, spaced apart from one another and configured to align with corresponding threaded mounting apertures defined within the storage drive. The fasteners are positioned within apertures of the first and sidewalls. Each fastener has a head end and a distal end separated by a shaft having a first diameter. The distal end of each fastener is formed as a pin of a second diameter smaller than the first diameter and sized for linear, axial insertion within the corresponding threaded mounting apertures for an interference fit.

Abstract: Various electronic device enclosures, methods for securing an enclosure and methods for unsecuring an enclosure are described. An enclosure includes a first panel assembly, a second panel assembly, a plurality of first fasteners, and a plurality of second fasteners. A first fastener is provided with one of the first panel assembly and the second panel assembly. A second fastener corresponds to and is couplable with the first fastener and is provided with another of the first panel assembly and the second panel assembly. An interior location for the first fastener and/or the second fastener is not readily apparent when the enclosure is in a secured configuration. Coupling the first fastener with the second fastener secures the enclosure. The enclosure may be a cover flex window enclosure, a cover flex clip enclosure, a cover slide & hook clip enclosure, or a hinged cover with flex clip enclosure.

Abstract: A method for episode-specific digital video recording includes receiving a user selection of an episode of a program series to record after an initial broadcast of the episode; searching a guide database to identify a scheduled instance of a rebroadcast of the episode; if the scheduled instance is identified, determining if a digital video recording of the episode is available at the scheduled instance of the rebroadcast; if digital video recording is available, storing an instruction to record the episode at the scheduled instance of the rebroadcast; if the digital video recording is not available, repeating the searching to identify an alternative scheduled instance of the rebroadcast of the episode; and storing the instruction to record the episode if the alternative scheduled instance of the rebroadcast of the episode is identified; and if the scheduled instance is not identified, setting a timer to repeat the searching at a future time.
