Abstract: A method for preventing unauthorized modifications to a rental computer system is disclosed. During boot up of the rental computer system, a determination is made whether or not a time-day card is bound to the rental computer system. If the time-day card is bound to the rental computer system, another determination is made whether or not a time/date value on the time-day card is less than a secure time/date value stored in a secure storage location during the most recent power down. If the time/date value on the time-day card is not less than the secure time/date value, yet another determination is made whether or not the time/date value is less than an end time/date rental value. If the time/date value is less than the end time/date rental value, the rental computer system continues to boot.

Abstract: A card formed with a cavity located within the card. The cavity is used to hold one or more liquid chemicals. Additional hollow regions abut the visual and magnetic versions of the sensitive data and are normally separated from the chemicals. When the card is sharply folded, the chemicals are released from the cavity and flow in the hollow regions abutting the stored data. The chemicals render the data unreadable, such as by obscuring the visual display with an opaque film. Additionally, in at least some embodiments, the magnetic strip on the credit card is implemented in such a way that there are two separate portions, with the encoded data divided in such a way that both portions are required in order to be decoded.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a method for removing the driver map component from being stored on the service partition and placing it on a server for retrieval at a later time. Only the actual device drivers that are required for that system will be provided. A central repository will be provided for applications and device drivers that would leverage the AMT area. The AMT IDE-R would be used to store the hook to network install, for example an IT administrator initiated network install to an unpowered system. Two situations exist in which this method will be used. The first situation involves supplying ImageUltra content to a system that is connected to the Local Area Network while ImageUltra is running. The second situation involves supplying ImageUltra content to a system that is not connected to the Local Area Network while ImageUltra is running.

Abstract translation: 本发明涉及一种用于将驱动程序映射组件移除存储在服务分区上并将其放置在服务器上以便稍后进行检索的方法。 仅提供该系统所需的实际设备驱动程序。 将为使用AMT区域的应用程序和设备驱动程序提供中央存储库。 AMT IDE-R将用于存储钩子到网络安装，例如IT管理员启动网络安装到无动力系统。 存在使用这种方法的两种情况。 第一种情况是在ImageUltra运行时将ImageUltra内容提供给连接到局域网的系统。 第二种情况是在ImageUltra正在运行时，将ImageUltra内容提供给未连接到局域网的系统。

Abstract: A method for controlling file access on computer systems is disclosed. Initially, a virtual machine manager (VMM) is provided in a computer system. In response to a write request, the VMM determines whether or not a location field is valid. If the location field is not valid, then the VMM writes the write request information to a storage device; but if the location field is valid, then the VMM encrypts the write request information before writing the write request information to the storage device. In response to a read request, the VMM again determines whether or not a location field is valid. If the location field is not valid, then the VMM sends the read request information to a read requester; but, if the location field is valid, then the VMM decrypts the read request information before sending the read request information to the read requester.

Abstract translation: 公开了一种用于控制计算机系统上的文件访问的方法。 最初，在计算机系统中提供虚拟机管理器（VMM）。 响应于写入请求，VMM确定位置字段是否有效。 如果位置字段无效，则VMM将写请求信息写入存储设备; 但是如果位置字段有效，则VMM在将写入请求信息写入存储设备之前对写入请求信息进行加密。 响应于读取请求，VMM再次确定位置字段是否有效。 如果位置字段无效，则VMM将读取请求信息发送给读取请求者; 但是，如果位置字段有效，则VMM在将读取请求信息发送给读取请求者之前解密读取请求信息。

Abstract: An arrangement for employing a host of receivers that may already be present in a laptop, to enable the laptop to collect a significant amount of data about its location. Once the system then finds a readily available connection, it can then transmit information about its location as well as other information to help pinpoint the location of the laptop.

Abstract: A computing apparatus receives data that corresponds to a wireless network connection established with an access point. The computing apparatus determines whether the access point corresponds to a predetermined access point type, and also determines that a device is to transition to a reduced power state. When the access point corresponds to the predetermined access point type and the determines that the device is to transition to the reduced power state, the computing apparatus transitions the device from a first power state to a reduced power state, and maintains the wireless network connection by using at least a subset of wireless functionality operatively coupled to the device.
