摘要:
A method and system for method of removing a node from a multi-node computer. The node receives a system management interrupt (SMI), resulting in a quiescenting of only that node. The SMI receiving node then polls other nodes in the multi-node computer to determine if the SMI affects an operation of any of the other nodes, and quiescents any other node affected by the SMI. Each quiescent node then transfers all of the contents of its system memory to a backup memory in an unaffected remote node in the multi-node computer. The remote node than assumes the function of the removed node that had received the SMI. The method and system thus allows node removal in the event of a hot-swap request or a predicted failure of a node.

A method and system for managing a secure network boot of a secondary server (server blade). The server blade sends a request, via an Ethernet switch, for a boot program to multiple Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) servers. One of the DHCP servers responds with an address of at least one Pre-boot Execution Environment (PXE) server that can upload a boot program to the server blade. Only if the responding DHCP server is on a list of known trusted DHCP servers will the Ethernet switch allow the server blade to receive the response from the responding DHCP server, thus allowing the download of a boot program from a PXE server.

A method and system are disclosed for managing a plurality of data storage systems. A plurality of graphically designatable data storage systems are displayed within a computer system display. A subset of the plurality of graphically designatable data storage systems are selected to be utilized in a data storage array. A data distribution mode for the data array is designated. An iconic representation of selected data storage systems of the data storage array is automatically graphically displayed in response to the selected subset of data storage systems and the designated data distribution mode such that complete data storage arrays may be graphically illustrated for management purposes.

We provided a dehumidifier with a temperature-sensing safety feature. The temperature probe is in direct contact with the discharge tube, as opposed to the industry standard of measuring temperature at the evaporator. In case the discharge tube overheats, it causes the resistance of the temperature probe to increase above a threshold value. The temperature probe then sends a signal to pause operation of the compressor. In a preferred embodiment, the compressor resumes operation when the temperature returns to normal, unless it overheats repeatedly. The temperature probe remains intact and may be used indefinitely. In preferred embodiments, the temperature-sensing safety feature is combined with a timing safety feature and/or a current-sensing safety feature.

An aggregated server blade system includes a plurality of individual server blades and a management module which can be designated as a bootable device. A boot list maintained and executed in each server blade includes a management module entry in its list of bootable devices. In response to the management module entry being selected or otherwise made active as the bootable device for a particular blade, an alternative bootable-devices list maintained on the management module is referenced and the boot process proceeds according to the alternative list.

The present invention relates to golf clubs having a movable weight which may be used to adjust the center of gravity of the golf club head. The golf club may include a slidable weight movable to various positions along a slot between the heel and the toe of the club. The head may include a cavity shaped to receive an insert. In one embodiment, a slidable weight consisting of a screw and a weight which may engage with each other may be configured to move along the length of the insert. During assembly, the weight may be inserted into an opening in the end of the insert and slid along a close fitting channel running the length of the insert. The weight's position along the channel may be secured by engaging the screw and tightening down the screw with a portion of the insert secured between the screw head and the weight. The assembled insert and slidable weight may then be press fit into the cavity in the head. By adjusting the position of the weight and screw within the insert, the center of gravity of the golf club may be adjusted.

A method and apparatus for determining the write delay time of a memory are provided. The apparatus includes a CPU, a memory, a north bridge chipset, a south bridge and a BIOS. The north bridge chipset, which is connected to the CPU and the memory, writes a pattern to the memory according to different write delay times. The BIOS reads the pattern stored in the memory, and checks the correctness of the read pattern to determine the common write delay time.

An image projection/display system (referred to generally herein as a “display system”) is provided to assist a pupil in speech development. The display system displays an image of a face viewed from the rear, as though the pupil were viewing a mask from behind. This “mask image” is projected in front of the pupil, and the mask image is manipulated to display proper lip, mouth, and tongue movement for a particular verbalization. Since the pupil is viewing the face on the mask image from behind, there is no need for the pupil to translate the lip, mouth, and tongue movements by reversing the left and right side. A tongue movement to the right on the mask image corresponds to a tongue movement to the right by the pupil.

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.
