Fulian Precision Electronics Assigned Four Patents

Carrier unit for installing HDD, carrier assembly, and server
Fulian Precision Electronics (Tianjin) Co., Ltd., Tianjin, China, has been assigned a patent (11871533) developed by Liu, Ge, TianJin, China, Li, Han-Yu, New Taipei, Taiwan, Yang, Bin-Bin, and Cui, Meng-Ya, Tianjin, China, for “carrier unit for installing hard disk drive, carrier assembly having the same, and server having the same.“

The abstract of the patent published by the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office states: “A carrier assembly for installing a hard disk drive (HDD) rapidly without tools or screws or other fasteners disk includes a bracket and a carrier. The carrier is movably disposed within the bracket. The hard disk drive is disposed with the carrier. The bracket includes a side plate and a plurality of first protrusions arranged on the side plate along with electrical connectors. The side plate defines interconnecting slots, a vertical first slot and a horizontal second slot. The carrier includes a lateral plate, a rotating handle connected to the lateral plate, and second protrusions arranged on the lateral plate. When the rotating handle is manually rotated, the second protrusion becomes locked within the first slot or the second slot to fix the HDD in place.”

The patent application was filed on 2022-06-23 (17/847379).

Server chassis and server
Fulian Precision Electronics (Tianjin) Co., Ltd., Tianjin, China, has been assigned a patent (11849558) developed by Li, Yang, Tianjin, China, Li, Han-Yu, New Taipei, Taiwan, Zhang, Ya-Ni, and Hou, Li, Tianjin, China, for “server chassis and server including the same.“

The abstract of the patent published by the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office states: “A server chassis includes a housing, a support frame, and a back plate. The housing includes a substrate. A fixing portion is vertically disposed on the substrate and is fixedly connected with the back plate. The support frame is fixedly connected with the substrate. A first protrusion is disposed on the support frame and is inserted into the back plate. The interior of the server chassis is rendered more compact, and the server chassis can accommodate eight hard disks. A server including the server chassis is also disclosed.”

The patent application was filed on 2022-04-22 (17/726682).

Method, system, and server for monitoring status of SSD
Fulian Precision Electronics (Tianjin) Co., Ltd., Tianjin, China, has been assigned a patent (11847085) developed by Qiu, Duo, Tianjin, China, for “method, system, and server for monitoring status of solid state drive.“

The abstract of the patent published by the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office states: “A method, a system, and a server for monitoring status of SSD applied in the server allows a volume management device which has been disabled because of conflict to be used to maintain unchanged information of power indicating control bit when an SSD is unplugged. The unchanged information of power indicating control bit is transmitted to a CPLD and decoder information is obtained from the CPLD. Position of the SSD in the register is set according to the decoder information.”

The patent application was filed on 2022-07-14 (17/864568).

Determining hard disk connection slot connected to hard disk and terminal device
Fulian Precision Electronics (Tianjin) Co., Ltd., Tianjin, China, has been assigned a patent (11829616) developed by Yuan, Jie, and Chen, Shi-Qi, Tianjin, China, for a “method for determining a hard disk connection slot connected to a hard disk and terminal device.“

The abstract of the patent published by the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office states: “A method for identifying a connection slot used by a hard disk includes determining the name of a program or system kernel connected to a hard disk, determining slot information corresponding to the kernel name, generating a soft link relating the kernel name to the slot information. The soft link has a relationship with and coexists with the kernel name. A terminal device and a non-volatile storage medium therein, for performing the above-described method, are also disclosed.”

The patent application was filed on 2022-03-28 (17/705517).
