Abstract: An apparatus, system, and method are disclosed for protecting hard disk data in multiple operating system environments. The present invention restricts access of a hard file to a range of logical addresses using a controller module configured to access a hard file in response to a request for a logical address, a set zero module configured to add an offset value to each request for a logical address on a hard file, and a set max module configured to set a maximum logical address accessible on a hard file. The invention limits access to a lower protected area with logical addresses below the range of logical address and a host protected area with logical address above the range of logical addresses.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a method for method or system which is able to control access to a new computer user password reset. The system is preloaded with a random password that does not needed to be known by anyone. There are two main situations in which this method will be used. The first situation involves a locally managed password and account where the user does not log in to a domain. The second situation involves remote management, where the user logs in to a domain.

Abstract: An apparatus for managing a data rate based on an amount of available data for a predetermined time period includes a storage device storing machine-readable code and a processor executing the machine-readable code. The machine-readable code includes a determination module determining a target data rate for data communication over a network by a network device. The target data rate is based on an amount of available data for a predetermined time period and an amount of time remaining in the predetermined time period. The machine-readable code includes a data rate module maintaining the data rate at or below the target data rate in response to the determination module determining the target data rate.

Abstract: Described is a technology by which a user is able to determine the content of a storage device, including when the storage device is non-operational. A user may use a device and/or program to provide a wirelessly-read identifier to query a repository that maintains cataloged data for the user's storage device. The query to the repository returns the cataloged data for that storage device in response, which is output to the user and the user knows the storage device's contents. Alternatively, the user may obtain a list of storage devices from the repository, and select one to view its cataloged data. When the storage device is operational, the persistent repository is updated with any changes to keep the cataloged data synchronized with the stored content.

Abstract translation: 描述了用户能够确定存储设备的内容的技术，包括何时存储设备不可操作。 用户可以使用设备和/或程序来提供无线读取标识符来查询维护用户存储设备的编目数据的仓库。 对存储库的查询返回该存储设备的编目数据作为响应，输出到用户，用户知道存储设备的内容。 或者，用户可以从存储库获得存储设备的列表，并且选择一个以查看其编目的数据。 当存储设备运行时，永久性存储库将随着任何更改进行更新，以使已编目的数据与存储的内容保持同步。

Abstract: An apparatus, system, and method are disclosed for securely authorizing changes to a transaction restriction. A security module securely stores encryption keys for a payment instrument. The payment instrument electronically transacts payments and includes a transaction restriction. An authentication module receives an authentication from a user of the payment instrument. The security module validates the authentication with a first encryption key. In addition, the security module authorizes a change to the transaction restriction using a second encryption key if the authentication is valid. The security module resides on a computer that the user designates as authorized to validate the authentication.
