In an example, a method, non-transitory machine-readable storage medium, and apparatus is described for preserving data in a solid state drive in the event of an unclean shutdown of the host computing system. A controller of the host computing system detects an unclean shutdown that initiates a power down of the host computing system, In response to the detecting the controller asserts a first signal that signals the solid state drive to write data in a volatile memory of the solid state drive to a non-volatile memory of the solid state drive, The controller then initiates a timer to count down a predefined delay period after the asserting. Upon an expiration of the timer, the controller asserts a second signal that instructs a power supply of the host computing system to power off.

Delay of power off to write data from volatile to non-volatile memory of a solid state drive

A consumer gasoline tester having a design type of easy handling and storage for convenience. The tester will have at the top a funnel spout apparatus (10) with a plastic nozzle stop (18) at the base. The nozzle connects to a clear plastic container (16) which has an easy-grip handle (12). The bottom of the container has a threaded hole for attaching the butterfly valve (20) and draining hose (22). The container is clearly marked for precise measurement with quantity indicators (14). There is an additional flaired-bottom container (28) with a circular handle (26) and screw-on cap (24) to be used to store suspect gasoline.
