A method, system, and program product for enabling administrative recovery of a user's lost/forgotten boot-up passwords without compromising the administrative/master password(s). A restricted-use password is dynamically generated from a first hash of a random number generated on a client system and a secret retrieved from a secure device associated with the client system. The restricted-use password operates as a master password but is not the administrative password of the client system. Once the password is generated, it is provided to the user/client system to enable user access to said client system and hardfile and reset of the user passwords.

Using an M:N variable matrix, M audio input signals, each associated with a direction, are translated to N audio output signals, each associated with a direction, wherein N is larger than M, M is two or more and N is a positive integer equal to three or more. The variable matrix is controlled in response to measures of: (1) the relative levels of the input signals, and (2) the cross-correlation of the input signals so that a soundfield generated by the output signals has a compact sound image in the nominal ongoing primary direction of the input signals when the input signals are highly correlated, the image spreading from compact to broad as the correlation decreases and progressively splitting into multiple compact sound images, each in a direction associated with an input signal, as the correlation continues to decrease to highly uncorrelated.

A lane maintenance machine has a cleaning system that includes at least one cleaning liquid dispensing head which reciprocates back and forth transversely of the lane as the machine travels along the length of the lane. In a preferred embodiment the dispensing head emits successive squirts of liquid from a positive displacement pump, such as a peristaltic pump. The positive displacement pump provides accurate, precise metering of the cleaning liquid and affords board-by-board control of the dispensing action. A wiping assembly immediately behind the cleaning liquid dispensing head provides a web of cloth-like material looped under a compressible backup roller to wipe the applied liquid into a thin film and to pick up a measure of the liquid along with oil and dirt. A vacuum squeegee pickup head trailing the wiping assembly lifts the remaining film of cleaning liquid completely off the lane surface, whereupon lane dressing is applied at the rear of the machine utilizing a dressing dispensing head that, like the cleaning liquid dispensing head, reciprocates transversely of the lane to dispense dressing in a pattern preselected by the operator.

A method and apparatus for aggregating storage devices is disclosed. A package for providing high density storage uses a carrier housing for holding multiple storage devices proximate to one another and aligned in a row, and an access device, coupled to the carrier housing, aggregates the physical addresses of the storage devices into logical addresses and making the logical addresses available over a connection.

Molecular sieves containing structure directing agents are treated by heating the SDA-containing molecular sieve at a temperature and for a time sufficient to remove the SDA from the molecular sieve, followed by heating the molecular sieve in an aqueous, acidic medium.
摘要:
Systems and methods of processing branch instructions provide for a bimodal predictor and a plurality of global predictors. The bimodal predictor is coupled to a prediction selector, where the bimodal predictor generates a bimodal prediction for branch instructions. The plurality of global predictors is coupled to the prediction selector, where each global predictor generates a corresponding global prediction for a branch instruction using different history or stew lengths. The prediction selector selects branch predictions from the bimodal prediction and the global predictions in order to arbitrate between predictors. The arbitration, update, and allocation schemes are designed to choose the most accurate predictor for each branch. Lower level predictors are used as filters to increase effective predictor capacity. Allocate and update schemes minimize aliasing between predictors. Branch predictors incorporating a plurality of global predictors in this fashion are more adaptive than conventional predictors with fixed branch history lengths and are able to achieve superior accuracy.
摘要:
Systems and methods of predicting instruction branches provide for independent checking predictions and dynamic next-line predictions. Next-line predictions may also have a latency that is a plurality of clock cycles, where the next line predictions include group predictions. Each group prediction includes a plurality of target addresses corresponding to their plurality of clock cycles. The plurality of target addresses can include a leaf target and one or more intermediate targets, where the leaf target defines a target address of the group prediction.
摘要:
Methods of controlling the flow index and/or molecular weight split of a polymer composition are disclosed. The method of producing a polymer composition in one embodiment comprises incorporating a high molecular weight polymer into a low molecular weight polymer to form the polymer composition in a single polymerization reactor in the presence of polymerizable monomers, a bimetallic catalyst composition and at least one control agent; wherein the control agent is added in an amount sufficient to control the level of incorporation of the high molecular weight polymer, the level of low molecular weight polymer, or both. Examples of control agents include alcohols, ethers, amines and oxygen.

A stylized graphical image of a human body is displayed on a mobile computer, cell phone or other device. The user selects a body part of interest in a standard manner as dictated by the host platform. In response to the user selecting a body part, information is provided that is associated with physical aspects of the selected body part including symptoms and medical conditions. A wide variety of uses are possible with the system. The business model on which the system is commercialized provides benefits to medical providers, drug and product manufacturers, advertisers, and users.

A pivotal ball joint assembly includes a ball joint, an input/output member, and a secondary seal element to prevent contamination of the boot seal during movement and articulation of the input/output member relative to the ball joint. The ball joint has a socket body and a ball stud pivotally mounted to the socket body. The ball stud has a shank portion which extends therefrom and is aligned along a shank axis. An elastic boot seal which extends between the ball stud and socket body is also included. The pivotal ball joint assembly also includes an input/output member affixed to the ball stud shank portion so that the socket body is able to freely rotate relative to the input/output shaft about the shank axis. The pivotal ball joint assembly is further rotatable through a limited range about a transverse axis perpendicular to the shank axis. The secondary seal element extends between the boot seal and the input/output member to guard the boot seal to shank portion interface against contamination during movement and articulation of the input/output member relative to the ball joint.
