摘要:
A computer system having a central processing unit ("CPU"), a main memory divisible into allocable units, a secondary storage unit and an operating system for allocating the allocable units to tasks for use thereby is provided with a suspend circuit for creating an optimized compressed image of data in the main memory. In a first embodiment, the suspend circuit comprises: (1) a circuit for initiating execution of a reducing task on the CPU, the reducing task requesting the operating system to allocate unallocated ones of the allocable units to the reducing task, (2) a circuit for storing a bit pattern in the allocable units allocated to the reducing task, the bit pattern chosen to optimize performance of a data compression process and (3) a circuit for executing the data compression process to store a compressed image of the main memory in the secondary storage unit, the bit pattern allowing a size of the compressed image to be reduced and a time required to compress and store the compressed image to be minimized. In a second embodiment, the unallocated allocable units are neither compression-optimized, compressed nor stored. Rather, the reducing task creates a record of all allocated units and the data compression process acts on only those allocated units identified in the record.

The electrical outlet faceplate with electrical cord cleat is a cleat plate that is for use with an electrical outlet faceplate. The cleat plate is a structure around which a cable can be secured such that the cable will not be disconnected or damaged inadvertently. The electrical outlet faceplate with electrical cord cleat is attached by a hinge to the electrical outlet faceplate allowing the cleat plate to be rotated to a position perpendicular to the electrical face plate while the cleat plate is in use and allowing the cleat plate to be rotated to a closed position flush to the electrical outlet faceplate when the cleat plate is not in use. The electrical outlet faceplate with electrical cord cleat includes an outlet faceplate, a cleat plate, and a hinge.

A item data management server having the capability to create a data tag from a physical item data record, where the physical item data record is based upon a physical item in the control of a user. The data tag creation facilitates the identification, maintenance and upkeep of the inventory of physical items, and also provides a feature for providing information relating to the physical items to the user/owner as well as to third-party service providers, such as insurers, and to governmental authorities, such as in the event of theft, to aid in the recovery of the physical items.
摘要:
An item data management server having the capability to create a physical item data record for a physical item in the control of a user based upon a data object of an accessible collection. The item data management server presents a clone command query to the user terminal, and receives, in response, a clone command query response that corresponds to and identifies a data object having a plurality of attributes. The item data management server generates a cloned physical item data record based upon the data object. The cloned physical item data record includes at least a portion of the plurality of attributes of the data object, and a second plurality of attributes associated with the user. The item data management server generates a web page including the cloned physical item data record, and presents the web page to the user terminal.

The electrical cord cleat is a simple cleat that attaches to a surface immediately adjacent an electrical outlet and of which provides a means to secure at least one electrical cord thereon. The electrical cord cleat prevents unwanted disconnection from or damage to the electrical outlet by securing a portion of the electrical cord(s) to the near vicinity of the electrical outlet. An alternative embodiment includes a hinge to enable the cleat to fold flat against the adjacent surface when not in use.
摘要:
An item data management server to automate the generation of estimated valuations based on physical item inventories as a whole, and based upon database contents storing attributes associated for each of the physical items and collections of the physical items.
摘要:
Method and apparatus for selectively overriding a prepackaged power management driver of a portable personal computer so that data transmitted to the CPIU of the computer by a device, such as a “real time” serial communicators device connected thereto, is not lost during the CPUs latency “wake up” period following a CPU power-down operation. An override system stored in memory comprises an override flag which may be set or cleared by a user or the computer. If the override flag is set, then the power management system is prevented from reducing power to the CPU so that the occurrence of a CPU latency period and thus potential for loss of data is avoided.
摘要:
An item data management server with rapid item data entry to facilitate database population with physical item data records for physical items in the control of a user. The rapid item data entry includes receiving a media file with at least an image and/or a verbal description for a physical item in which the item data management server may create physical item data record.
