| Number | Title | Issue Date |
| 5664195 | Method and apparatus for dynamic installation of a driver on a computer system A method is provided for dynamic installation of a driver on a computer system. The computer system has a first operator processor with a first memory and an operating system, a second processor with a second memory and operating code configurable to acce... | 09/02/1997 |
| 5621887 | Fault tolerant disk management system which tests failed disks during varied time intervals which are based upon the criticality associated with the failed disks A fault tolerant disk management system supports compound disks which are mirrored, so as to tolerate single point faults in any one physical disk of the compound disk. The system further minimizes the exposure of data stored on such a compound disk arisi... | 04/15/1997 |
| 5325062 | Apparatus and method for detection of latent faults in redundant systems Apparatus and method are provided for fault detecting in an electrical system such as a redundant or fault-tolerant system. A current receiving device connected in shunt or in series in such a system draws electric current from the electrical system being... | 06/28/1994 |
| 5115499 | Shared computer resource allocation system having apparatus for informing a requesting computer of the identity and busy/idle status of shared resources by command code Computer system resources shared by several central processing units are allocated by allowing one processing unit to temporarily gain exclusive access to a particular shared resource. Access to a particular resource is controlled by a memory location whi... | 05/19/1992 |
| 4819154 | Memory back up system with one cache memory and two physically separated main memories Apparatus for maintaining duplicate copies of information stored in fault-tolerant computer main memories is disclosed. A non write-through cache memory associated with each of the system's processing elements stores computations generated by that process... | 04/04/1989 |
| 4736376 | Self-checking error correcting encoder/decoder Encoding/decoding circuitry which processes data and both corrects single errors and detects multiple errors is disclosed. The circuitry is both fail-safe and self-checking in that no internal device failure can alter data without producing improperly enc... | 04/05/1988 |
| 4654819 | Memory back-up system Apparatus for maintaining duplicate copies of information stored in fault-tolerant computer main memories is disclosed. A non write-through cache memory associated with each of the system's processing elements stores computations generated by that process... | 03/31/1987 |
| 4608631 | Modular computer system A multi-processor computer system is disclosed in which processing elements, memory elements and peripheral units can be physically added and removed from the system without disrupting its operation or necessitating any reprogramming of software running o... | 08/26/1986 |
| 4541094 | Self-checking computer circuitry Circuitry for a fault-tolerant computer is disclosed which circuitry is constructed in two identical halves. Each half, by itself, is not a functionally-complete circuit, however, the two identical halves can be connected together to provide a functionall... | 09/10/1985 |
| 4484273 | Modular computer system A multi-processor computer system is disclosed in which processing elements, memory elements and peripheral units can be physically added and removed from the system without disrupting its operation or necessitating any reprogramming of software running o... | 11/20/1984 |
