Briefly, in accordance with one embodiment of the invention, a method of updating BIOS using an externally provided module may include the following. In this context, the term externally provided means that the module resides in a device other than that used to hold the firmware code, such as a magnetic storage device, typically with a lower cost per bit of information. In this embodiment, the BIOS, while in control of or being executed by a processor, applies a one-way hash process to a portion of the externally provided module. The computed hash of the module portion is compared with the pre-computed hash value included with the BIOS code. The external module is then invoked as a subprogram if and only if the hash values compare as equal. The module, while executing, may then validate the remainder of the update using more sophisticated cryptographic techniques and/or perform the update directly.
摘要:
The invention relates to a humanized nucleic acid construct from Bacillus anthracis protective antigen (PA) gene and method of modifying the gene. The humanized gene, and method of producing it, improves the structural fidelity of expressed protein product, when produced in mammalian host cells, to native, bacterially produced protein. The construct is useful in nucleic acid based vaccine formulations against B. anthracis.

Computer conferencing apparatus are provided. A conferencing session intake interface is provided to receive, at a computer, parameters defining plural conferencing sessions. A computer screen provider is provided to provide at computers, participant screens which include a first screen for a first participant and a second screen for a second participant. The first screen provides the first participant with computer screen access to a representation of all sessions contemporaneously located with the first participant, and provides the first participant with computer screen access to information indicating a present phase of each of the sessions contemporaneously located with the first participant. The second screen provides the second participant with computer screen access to a representation of all sessions contemporaneously located with the second participant, and provides the same participant with computer screen access to information indicating a present phase of the sessions contemporaneously located with the second participant. A phase change intake interface is provided to receive, at a computer screen interface, phase change information for a given session. A location intake interface is provided to receive, at a computer screen interface, location change information changing a present location of the given session.
摘要:
A warming device includes a clinical garment having an inside surface supporting a convective apparatus with separately-inflatable sections, each adapted to enable a particular mode of warming. Each section has a surface or region with a permeability that varies from the permeability of a surface or region in another section.
摘要:
An electronic signature is generated in a predetermined manner and attached to a transferable unit of write data, to facilitate authenticating the write data before allowing the write data to be written into a protected non-volatile storage. The write data is authenticated using a collection of secured authentication functions. Additionally, the actual writing of the authenticated write data into the protected non-volatile storage is performed by a secured copy utility.
