Fulian Precision Electronics Assigned Two Patents

Method, server system, and non-transitory computer readable medium for hot plugging
Fulian Precision Electronics (Tianjin) Co., Ltd., Tianjin, China, has been assigned a patent (11741038) developed by Qiu, Duo, Tianjin, china, for “method, server system, and non-transitory computer readable medium for hot plugging.“

The abstract of the patent published by the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office states: “A server system, a method, and a non-transitory computer readable medium for hot plugging includes a CPLD detecting an existence of a NVME SDD in the server system, the CPLD transmitting a first signal to the NVME SDD, the NVME SDD starting to run, a BMC controlling a hot plug control module to run, the hot plug control module continuously outputting second signals and third signals, a logic selecting module receiving the first signal, the second signal, and the third signal, and selecting corresponding signals for outputting to the NVME SDD according to the third signal, and when the logic selecting module selecting the first signal and outputting the first signal to the NVME SDD, the NVME SDD keeping running, when the logic selecting module selecting the second signal and outputting the second signal to the NVME SDD, the NVME SDD executing hot plugging.”

The patent application was filed on 2022-06-30 (17/854292).

Electronic device and method for monitoring hard disks
Fulian Precision Electronics (Tianjin) Co., Ltd., Tianjin, China, has been assigned a patent (11740790) developed by Yuan, Jie, and Chen, Shi-Qi, Tianjin, China, for “electronic device and method for monitoring hard disks.“

The abstract of the patent published by the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office states: “A method for monitoring hard disks, implemented in an electronic device, includes sequentially detecting a number of hard disk codes of hard disks recorded by a host bus adapter, and determining whether each hard disk code has a drive letter assigned, if one hard disk code is determined to not have a drive letter assigned, writing a first mark corresponding to the hard disk code in a register of the host bus adapter. When detection of all hard disk codes is completed, transmitting the first marks written in the register to a CPLD interface and detecting whether each hard disk corresponding to the first mark is in place. If one hard disk corresponding to the first mark is found to be in place, controlling the hard disk to output an alarm based on the first mark.”

The patent application was filed on 2022-01-02 (17/567137).
