Fulian Precision Electronics Assigned Three Patents

Hard disk indicator circuit and hard disk backplane
Fulian Precision Electronics (Tianjin) Co., Ltd., Tianjin, China, has been assigned a patent (12033677) developed by Wu; Hong-Shuang, Tianjin, China, for “hard disk indicator circuit and hard disk backplane.“

The abstract of the patent published by the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office states: “The present disclosure provides a hard disk indicator circuit and a hard disk backplane. The hard disk indicator circuit includes an indicating unit, a control unit, a drive unit and a verification unit. The indicating unit indicates state of the hard disk. The control unit detects the state of the hard disk and outputting a control signal according to the state of the hard disk. The drive unit receives the control signal and lights the indicating unit according to the control signal. The verification unit obtains a level value of the indicating unit and determines whether the indicating unit is faulty according to the level value and the control signal. The present disclosure can quickly and accurately obtain the fault state of the hard disk indicator, save manpower and improve the fault detection efficiency.”

The patent application was filed on 2023-04-07 (18/132121).

Chassis structure, server, and dissipating heat from server
Fulian Precision Electronics (Tianjin) Co., Ltd., Tianjin, China, has been assigned a patent (12035511) developed by Li; Han-Yu, New Taipei, Taiwan, Lu; Wen-Hu, Yin; Li-Yi, Zhang; Ming-Liang, and Wang; Shu-Tong, Tianjin, China, for “chassis structure, server, and method of dissipating heat from server.“

The abstract of the patent published by the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office states: “The invention provides a chassis structure, a server, and a method of dissipating heat from server. The chassis structure comprises chassis body, two fan components, two tray components, and a power supply. The chassis body defines a receiving space bounded by two spaced partitions, the two partitions divide the receiving space into a middle cavity and two side cavities. The fan components are at one end of each side cavity and are connected to the chassis body. The two tray components carry slots for inserting hard disks. The power supply is arranged in the middle cavity and supplies power to the hard disks inserted in the slots, the power supply also has a fan, the power supply positioned at one end of the middle cavity.”

The patent application was filed on 2022-06-28 (17/852339).

Data clearing of hard disk, apparatus, and computer readable storage medium applying method
Fulian Precision Electronics (Tianjin) Co., Ltd., Tianjin, China, has been assigned a patent (12033673) developed by Wang; Yan, and Yuan; Jie, Tianjin, China, for “method of data clearing of hard disk, apparatus, and computer readable storage medium applying the method.“

The abstract of the patent published by the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office states: “A method of data clearing of a hard disk comprises search a last target logic block of a target hard disk according to a predetermined sequence. Stored data in the target logic block is read for determining whether the stored data includes disk array information. The stored data of the target logic block is cleared while the stored data includes the disk array information. By accurately clearing minimum data, a data clearing process of the target hard disk is completed. By comparing with the full disk format manner, an effective of data clearing is improved. An apparatus and a computer readable storage medium applying the method are also disclosed.”

The patent application was filed on 2023-04-10 (18/132832).
