Abstract:
Techniques presented herein provide approaches for generating a markup language object that describes a variety of BIOS setup variables and which allow the markup language object to be passed to the management system, as well as allow retrieval of a normalized BIOS from the management system. Doing so allows the management system to be used to easily and efficiently control a large number of server systems within a data center.
Abstract:
This invention relates to composition containing expandable microspheres and at least one ionic compound and having a zeta potential that is greater than or equal to zero mV at a pH of about 9.0 or less at an ionic strength of from 10−6 M to 0.1 M., as well as methods of making and using the composition.
Abstract:
An object type translator (OTT) determines one or more database object types. The one or more database object types are mapped to a first structural language type definition code. After being generated, the user may add user code to the first structural language type definition code. During regeneration of these files, the first structural language type definition code is then parsed to determine the user code that has been added, based on the start and end markers that the user code segments have been marked with. OTT maps these user-code segments to the corresponding database types and keeps track of the mapping and the user code. When the OTT starts generating the second structural language code, the OTT determines a position where the user code should be inserted into the second structural language type definition code using that mapping. The user code is then inserted in the second structural language code in the position determined. Accordingly, the user code that was added is not lost when the structural language type definition code is regenerated from the one or more database object types.
Abstract:
Techniques are provided to redistribute and rebalance power to a plurality of blade servers with a chassis unit. At a chassis management controller device in a chassis unit comprising a plurality of blade server devices, policy information is stored for the chassis unit. The policy information comprises power limit information that indicates a power budget for the chassis unit and blade server priority information that indicates priority for access to power for each of the plurality of blade servers in the chassis unit. Power is distributed to the plurality of blade servers based on the blade server priority information for each of the plurality of blade servers and the power limit information for the chassis unit. The actual power consumption of each of the plurality of blade servers is determined and power is redistributed to the plurality of blade servers based on the actual power consumption and the policy information.
Abstract:
This invention relates to a paper substrate containing high surface sizing and low internal sizing and having high dimensional stability, as well as methods of making and using the composition.
Abstract:
Methods to promote usage of anonymously identifying a user to a web site over a computer network by providing an incentive program tied to a client identifier placed by the web site on a computer of the user. The incentive program account is created without requesting any user specific information and account is credited with bonus points based on user's browsing behavior with the web site and subsequent access to the account is possible only if the web site receives original client identifier. In case of loss of original client identifier, various means to recover the identifier is provided to the user. In another aspect, the program provides means to transfer bonus points between accounts and leverages this association of anonymous client identifiers to form an anonymous group profile. In preferred embodiment, the computer network is the Internet and the client identifier is located within a cookie file.

Abstract:
A method and system for using a portable memory device, for example, a removable USB flash memory drive, by a customer to participate in an incentive program. A business entity temporarily receives the memory device from the customer, for example, at a point of sale, and looks for an identification means of the customer in the device and creates one if it doesn't exists. The identification means comprises a unique customer identifier and an association means and various other data elements. The business entity uses the identifier in the device to establish link between the device and the incentive program. In one embodiment, the incentive program account is created by the entity without requesting any information from the customer, by creating a unique anonymous customer identifier in the device. The customer may use the device as one centralized unit to represent a plurality of incentive programs.
Abstract:
Disclosed are a mobile terminal for controlling a 3D image using proximity touch, and a 3D image controlling method thereof. Aligning, moving and re-aligning a specific 3D object inside a 3D object group are performed, through proximity hovering. And, depth of the 3D object is automatically controlled by the various operations. This may provide various 3D-related interfaces to a user.
