In a first aspect, a removable visual indication structure is disclosed. The removable visual indication structure includes a removable connection portion and a visual indication portion coupled to the removable connection portion wherein the visual indication structure can be removably attached to a printed circuit board. In a second aspect, a printed circuit board system is disclosed. The system includes a printed circuit board, at least one pin coupled to the printed circuit board, and at least one removable visual indication structure coupled to the at least one pin. In yet a third aspect, a method for fabricating a removable visual indication structure is disclosed. The method includes providing at least one visual indicator, providing a removable connector adapted to be coupled to the printed circuit board, and coupling the at least one visual indicator to the removable connector. Accordingly, the method and system provides a simple and cost effective way for manufacturers to provide visual indicators to various types of systems while at the same time increasing the amount of space available on the printed circuit board.

Removable visual indication structure for a printed circuit board

A method and system for controlling data in a computer system when the computer system loses power is disclosed. The method and system comprises activating a plurality of super capacitors to supply power to the computing engine based upon power being removed from the computer system and reconfiguring the data in the computing engine. Through the use of a system and method, large amounts of newly written and modified data can be stored from the volatile memory to the non-volatile memory in the event of a sudden external system power loss. The system and method allows data to be rapidly and irretrievably erased from the non-volatile memory automatically, in the event of a sudden loss of external power, or manually. This capability consumes minimal space and weight and is implemented in an affordable manner.

An improved printed circuit board assembly is disclosed. The printed circuit board assembly comprises a first plate, a second plate attachably coupled to the first plate, and at least one printed circuit board sandwiched between the first plate and the second plate, the at least one printed circuit board extending over the entire area of the first and second plate. By utilizing an assembly in accordance with the present invention, the available space on each of the plurality of printed circuit boards is maximized. By maximizing the available space, more electronic circuitry can be incorporated onto the board. Furthermore, the exterior spacer design together with interior spacer elements firmly secures each printed circuit board while maintaining a constant separation between each board. This facilitates the ability to stack more printed circuit boards, while maintaining the mechanical alignment and structural rigidity necessary for the stacking data connectors to function properly in the event the assembly is subjected to a sudden shock or vibration.
