Wyse Technology Assigned Patent

Wyse Technology L.L.C., Santa Clara, CA, (acquired by Dell, Inc.) has been assigned a patent (10,180,853) developed by Vajravel, Gokul Thiruchengode, Bangalore, India, for a “session reliability for a redirected mass storage device.“

The abstract of the patent published by the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office states: ”Session reliability for a redirected mass storage device can be improved by delaying a device removal process when a redirected mass storage device is disconnected. Whenever a session employed to redirect a mass storage device is disconnected, the agent on the server can send a device removal notification to a virtual disk enumerator. Rather than immediately initiating the device removal process, the virtual disk enumerator can pause I/O requests pertaining to the mass storage device and wait a specified amount of time to allow the mass storage device to be reconnected. If the mass storage device is reconnected during the specified amount of time, the paused I/O requests can be resumed. Otherwise, the device removal process can be commenced after the specified amount of time has elapsed”.

The patent application was filed on May 2, 2016 (15/144,247).
