66results about How to "Ensure redundancy" patented technology

The storage system of the present invention has a simple configuration and ensures redundancy of the system. The primary storage control device and the first secondary storage control device are connected by a synchronous read method, and the primary storage control device and the second secondary storage control device are connected by an asynchronous read method. The primary storage control device sets a management number in the update data and saves a journal data. The primary storage control device associates the management number with the update data and transmits them to the first secondary storage control device. The first secondary storage control device writes the update data to the first secondary volume, associates the management number with the storage destination address of the update data and stores them in the maintenance table. If the primary storage control device stops, the first secondary storage control device becomes anew a primary storage control device. The first secondary storage control device is connected to the second secondary storage control device by an asynchronous read method.

A collision determination apparatus for a vehicle is disclosed. The collision determination apparatus includes: a chamber member that is arranged in a bumper and has therein a chamber space; a main sensor that senses pressure of the chamber space; a safing sensor that senses the pressure of the chamber space independently of the main sensor; and a vehicle speed sensor that senses a speed of the vehicle. The collision determination apparatus detects an occurrence of a collision between an object and a bumper and determines whether the collision necessitates activation of the protection apparatus based on sensing results of the main sensor, the safing sensor and the vehicle speed sensor.

The present invention is directed to systems and methods that couple together optical devices in a manner that prevents damaging light from escaping the coupling except through the devices. In order to prevent damaging light from coming into contact with the user, the present invention obscures the source optical device by using at least one moveable gate to prevent damaging light from being transmitted outside of the coupling until such time as the target optical device is fully inserted into the coupling, thereby preventing light that could potentially damage a person from escaping the system except through the optical device.

The invention provides a method of large scale cluster network cabling, relating to the separate cabling of three networks, namely a computing network, a management network and an ipmi (Intelligent Platform Management Interface) network. The specific cabling process comprises the following steps of planning cluster equipment, namely formulating a computing network topology in the combination of computing equipment; formulating a respective topology framework of the management network and the ipmi network; formulating a cabinet topology; fourthly, calculating the quantity of cables; performing the network cabling; and performing a cluster network performance test by using a testing tool. In comparison with the prior art, the method of the large scale cluster network cabling not only enables the correspondence between various demands and the various networks to be guaranteed, but also enables the network safety and stability to be guaranteed through the independent networks; meanwhile, the generation of network storm is prevented; and therefore, the actual demands of high performance computing clients are met.
