Abstract:
A method of washing a surface includes the step of providing a cleaning formulation including a surfactant composition including a first surfactant, a second surfactant, and a polyalkylene glycol. The first surfactant has the general formula: R1—O-(A)mH. R1 is an aliphatic hydrocarbon having from 8 to 11 carbon atoms, A is an alkyleneoxy group having from 2 to 5 carbon atoms, and m is a positive number. The second surfactant has the general formula: R2—O—(B)nH. R2 is an aliphatic hydrocarbon having from 12 to 14 carbon atoms, B is an alkyleneoxy group having from 2 to 5 carbon atoms, and n is a positive number. The polyalkylene glycol is present in an amount of from 3 to 20 parts by weight. The method also includes providing a rinse formulation, applying the cleaning formulation to the surface, and applying the rinse formulation to the surface.

Abstract:
Ambient light sensor adjustments to the brightness of an information handling system display are further adjusted to compensate for user brightness preferences at various detected ambient light level. User brightness preference adjustments for each of plural detected ambient light levels are manually selected by user configuration inputs or alternatively are automatically determined by analysis of manual user changes in brightness output at the ambient light levels. For instance, a user manual alteration of display brightness at given ambient light level is saved and used for subsequent use when the given ambient light level is detected.
Abstract:
A system and method is disclosed for providing a firmware update to a device of a computer system in which a firmware update application and a firmware image are provided to a computer system. Verification steps are performed to insure that both the firmware update application and the user are authorized to perform the firmware update process. If the verification steps indicate that both the firmware update application and the user are authorized, the computer system is reset. During the boot process, the presence of the firmware update is recognized and the firmware update application is initiated, resulting in an update of the firmware of the device.
Abstract:
A method and apparatus are provided for sensing when a display of a portable information handling system (IHS) is moved from an open position to a closed position. The closing of the display is employed as a trigger for the generation of an undocking request to the operating system of the IHS. Undocking the IHS from the docking device is made easier because the user does not need to locate and then push a docking request button on the docking station.
Abstract:
An analysis system and method provide for quantitatively evaluating image quality characteristics of an ultrasound imaging machine that evaluates at least one image representation of a standard phantom acquired by the image machine. The machine under test by comparing acquired parameters with prestored values, and returning a determined set of image quality indices, along with a single index representing an arithmetic combination of all other image quality indices, which indicate the accuracy of the test image relative to a “gold standard” that has been pre-established for the model of imaging machine under investigation. The system, which includes a computer-programmed set of instructions and data, optionally includes at least one standard phantom. The image quality indices, or metrics, quantitatively represent an evaluation of a test image using a set of relatively subjective criteria that include homogeneity, contrast, signal attenuation and penetration of depth, pin to background ratio in near and far-field, axial and lateral resolution, modulation transfer function, and geometric distortion, and axial and lateral linearity. These image quality indices are determined by specific algorithms and then combined to form an image health index. The image health index and the individual component indices are compared to a gold standard set of indices obtained from an equivalent imaging machine operating under optimum conditions and settings.
Abstract:
The present invention discloses a system and method for performing image-based diagnosis. In this invention, historical artifact images and corresponding actions for repairing the artifacts are acquired and stored in a database. The database of historical artifact images and corresponding actions is used to diagnose an incoming artifact image having an unknown fault.
Abstract:
A method for operating an informational handling system includes providing a user control for allowing a user to select a granularity between a plurality of brightness steps, detecting the selected granularity based on input from the user control, and implementing the selected granularity.
Abstract:
Various embodiments are directed to systems and methods for facilitating the aggregation of carbon reduction credits resulting from finance loans financing the purchase of energy technology. For example, a credit aggregator may receive from a finance institution estimate parameters describing a loan type. The credit aggregator may calculate a value of a carbon reduction credit associated with each loan of the loan type considering the estimate parameters and display the value to the finance institution. In addition, the credit aggregator may receive bid data and booking data from the finance institution. When a credit is booked, the credit aggregator may receive from the finance institution periodic indications of a status of the intervention technology.
Abstract:
A method for providing event notification to an application is disclosed. The method may include sending a message to an operating system (OS) driver when a first event occurs. Code in a BIOS associated with the first event may be executed after the OS driver receives the message. A first notification generated by the BIOS may be provided to the OS driver.
