摘要： A gate opening mechanism is described which uses a rotationally floating motor. Unusually high torques caused by gate blockage causes the motor frame to rotate around its axis and to trigger a motor shut off switch.The mechanism is mounted in the space between a fence post and the gate post adjacent to it without requiring a large opening.

摘要： A management computer controlling operations of computer systems in a number of positions within a chassis is programmed to receive a signal indicating that one of the computer systems has been installed and to determine whether it has been installed in a previously unoccupied position, installed in a previously occupied position, or moved from one position to another. If it has been installed in a previously unoccupied position, an operating system is installed for remote booting; if it has been installed in a previously occupied position, it is allowed to continue booting the operating system used by the computer it replaced; if it has been moved from one position to another, it is allowed to continue booting as before.

摘要： A method, system, and operating system (OS) software utility that prevents installation of a software product in a computer system in an un-approved location. The OS of the computer system (or the application itself) is coded to require a check of geographical restrictions prior to installing certain software products. The computer system is provided with a GPS receiver, which provides current geographic or spatial location of the computer system. When application installation is requested, the current location is compared against a list of approved locations for installing software on the computer system. No software installation is allowed on the computer system unless the current location is an approved location for the software and/or the computer system.

摘要： A data processing system suitable for use as a client device in a network includes a service processor communicatively coupled to a general purpose processor of the system. The system is enabled to respond to a boot event by requesting boot information from a network device. If the boot information request expires unsuccessfully, the boot information is requested from the service processor. If the attempt to retrieve the boot information from the service processor is successful, the retrieved boot information is used to establish a network connection to a file transfer server. The file transfer server connection is then used to download an operating system image from the file transfer server to boot the operating system image and install an operating system on the client device. In one embodiment, the client device is a PXE client on a network lacking a DHCP server.

摘要： A method and system for managing a download of software from an application server to a client computer depending on a physical location of the client computer. The client computer transmits a real-time Global Position System (GPS) coordinate to the application server. This location is then compared to a list of authorized location ranges associated with the requested application. If the client computer is located within an authorized location range, the application server then downloads the application to the client computer. If the client computer is not within an authorized area, then the application is not allowed be downloaded.

摘要： A method and system for managing software according to a physical location of a computer that is to execute the software. The operating system of the computer is modified to contain a location service that is able to determine the exact physical location of the computer. When the computer's operating system requests that a software application be loaded into system memory, the computer's location service determines the exact current physical location of the computer using a satellite Global Positioning System (GPS) or similar system. This location is compared to a list of authorized location ranges. If the computer is within an authorized location range, the software is allowed to load into system memory and execute as long as the computer remains within the authorized area. If the computer is not within an authorized area, then the software is not allowed to load into system memory and thus cannot execute.

摘要： A method and system for managing a secure configuration of a server blade on a network. The server blade has a Remote Supervisor Adapter (RSA) card, which contains a list of trusted Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) servers. A remote manager, which communicates with the RSA card via a hyper-secure network, maintains the list of trusted DHCP servers on the RSA card. When the server blade broadcasts a request for configuration parameters to join the network, a response offer is returned from a DHCP server. If the responding DHCP server is not on the list of trusted DHCP servers contained in the RSA card, then the offer is refused, and another DHCP server's offer is evaluated.

摘要： A data processing system and method are described for creating a virtual partition within an existing partition within a hard disk drive included within the system. A first master boot record is written which includes a partition. The partition defines a first file system to be utilized by the hard drive. A file is created within the partition. The first master boot record is temporarily overwritten with a second master boot record without altering the first file system. The second master boot record includes a designation of the file as a second partition. The second partition defines a second file system. The second partition is designated as the active partition. The data processing system is booted utilizing the second master boot record. The second partition is a virtual partition within the existing partition.

摘要： Described is a computer system which can automatically provide its capabilities to a main computer without powering on to facilitate configuring the system in its shipping package. The computer system is coupled to a remote computer via a data communication link. The system includes a communication subsystem which is supplied with auxiliary power and is operative to detect when a valid communication link is established between the computer system and the main computer. After the detection the communication subsystem sends a first packet to the main computer via the communication subsystem. The first packet includes data which specifically identifies the computer system. When the communication link is coupled to the communication subsystem through the packaging and a power source is coupled to a power connector of the system through the packaging, the system is operative to send the first packet without powering on.
