摘要:
System, method and computer program product for recovering from a failure of a computing device. Start up of a first component of the device is monitored and a determination is made whether the first component has started successfully. If so, a second, higher level component of the device is started. Operational data received from the second component is monitored. If the operational data falls outside of an operational boundary, an action is performed on the second component to enable the second component to operate within a preferred operational boundary. If the first component does not start up successfully, a determination is made if start up of the first component is critical to operation of the second component. If so, a corrective action is performed relative to the first component and afterwards, an attempt is made to start up the second component.

A method and apparatus for communication via a computer network (102) including registering a plurality of users (206, 222, 224) with a trusted body (110, 210). The trusted body (110, 210) verifies the identity of each user (206, 222, 224) and generates a random identifier (216) for each user (206, 222, 224). A plurality of users (206, 222, 224) can enter into a dialogue with the other users by means of messages sent over the computer network (102) via the trusted body (110, 210). A user (206, 222, 224) remains anonymous through use of its random identifier (216) until such time as the user (206, 222, 224) reveals its true identity. Due to the registration of the users (206, 222, 224) with the trusted body (110, 210) a means of non-repudiation of the dialogue by the users (206, 222, 224) is provided.

A device, method and system for creating, framing, transporting, displaying, and selling artwork. The method generally includes the steps of supplying a specialized sheet of paper to an individual or a group of individuals wherein the sheet includes an identified area for receiving artwork produced by an individual or a group; having the individual or group of individuals produce artwork in the identified area for receiving artwork provided on the sheet of paper; marking the sheet of paper with information related to the identification of the individual or group of individuals; framing the sheet of paper in a frame; hanging the framed sheet of paper on a portable device for displaying and transporting a plurality of framed artists panel; and displaying a plurality of framed artists panel to a viewer or a group of viewers at an art show, for example. The device for displaying and transporting artwork generally includes a portable device for displaying a plurality of framed media and a method for displaying framed media so that multiple pieces of media may be displayed simultaneously. The method for framing artwork generally includes the steps of providing a pre-sized artists panel having artwork on an artwork area and identifying information about the artist on an information area separate from the artwork area; providing a pre-sized combination of framing elements including a frame, a transparent glazing, a mat, a backing board, and a hanger; and mounting the artwork within the frame, and the pre-sized artists panels are sized to cooperate with the framing elements so as to allow the efficient and economical framing of artwork.

A video moving message system in which images are shifted one pixel width at a time from one video monitor to another. The video monitors are arranged side by side and/or stacked one over the other. Row and column counters are reassigned for a video read only memory matrix so as to enable accessing of image data stored in the read only memory through these reassigned counters. The image data is read out and sent to pixels on the video monitors which correspond to the row and counter addresses in the read only memory matrix. By reassigning during each blanking interval of a video monitor, the image on the video monitor appears to shift by at least one pixel width on the video monitor. The image is scrolled from one video monitor to the next in succession.

A dispensing system including a main body having a closed end and a dispensing slot through the main body. A hollow center support extends from the closed end such that a receiving chamber is defined between the center support and the main body. A cover member is configured to selectively engage the main body between an opened position wherein the receiving chamber is accessible and a closed position wherein the receiving chamber is substantially sealed, wherein in the closed position, a continuous passageway extends through the cover member, the center support and the end wall. A roll of individual flushable moist towelettes interconnected to one another at perforations and rolled about a central axis and defining a central through passage are positioned within the receiving chamber with the center support extending through the central through passage and a first of the towelettes extending at least partially through the dispensing slot.
摘要:
A data logging system that utilizes a schedule of data transfer periods for transferring data from devices to a server. A communication of an actual data transfer size of stored data in a first device of the devices is obtained by the server from the first device. A corresponding future data transfer size of the stored data is estimated by the server, based on a historic data transfer size for data previously transferred from the first device to the server. The schedule is currently based on the historic data transfer size for the first device. The server updates the schedule if the server has determined that a difference exists between the actual data transfer size and the corresponding estimated future data transfer size. A transmission from the first device of the data actually stored in the first device is received by the server in accordance with the schedule.

Electronic device enclosures providing improved heat dissipation are described herein. An example enclosure for holding an electronic circuit board includes a housing having a first portion coupled to a second portion to form a cavity to hold the electronic circuit board. Each of the first and second portions comprises openings to direct convention airflow across opposing faces of the electronic circuit board at the same time. A baffle is coupled to the housing to substantially visually obscure the openings and to define a gap between the housing and the baffle to direct the convection airflow across the opposing faces of the electronic circuit board.

An identification method and system. A user is scanned by a Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) reader to read N RFID tags respectively embedded in N objects carried by the user. Each tag of the N tags includes a tag identifier. N may be at least 1 or at least 2. The N tags read by the RFID reader are compared with M tags in a registered record of data. The registered record comprises a reference to the user. Each tag of the M tags includes a tag identifier. M is at least N. The user is permitted access to a resource if the comparing has determined that the tag identifiers in the M tags include the tag identifiers in the N tags read by the RFID reader. The resource may be a computer resource. Alternatively, the resource may be a resource other than a computer resource.
