    摘要: This disclosure relates to a method and apparatus for measuring the amount of time a personal computer system is powered on. A power on time (POT) routine is performed at a power on of the computer system. This routine sets up a timer to count the number of pre-selected time units (selected by a user) the system is powered on. The power on time count is stored in the PC's non-volatile memory. The routine sets an alarm field of the system's real time clock (RTC) to be activated after the pre-selected time unit has elapsed. A POT interrupt handler routine is installed in a chain for RTC interrupts and is invoked each time the alarm is activated (i.e., at each passage of the pre-selected time unit) while the system is powered on. When invoked, the POT interrupt handler routine increments the POT count and resets the RTC alarm to be activated after another pre-selected time unit has elapsed.

    摘要: A personal computer system is described, having security features enabling control over access to data retained in such a system. The system has a normally closed enclosure, at least one erasable memory element for selective activation to active and inactive states and for receiving and storing a privileged access password when in the active state, an option switch operatively connected with the erasable memory element for setting the erasable memory element to the active and inactive states, a tamper detection switch operatively connected with the erasable memory element for detecting opening of the enclosure, and a system processor operatively connected with the erasable memory element for controlling access to at least certain levels of data stored within the system by distinguishing between entry and non-entry of any stored privileged access password and between detection and non-detection of opening of the enclosure by the tamper detection switch. In addition, an inactivity monitor is provided for measuring the time period between successive uses of the system and for determining whether or not the measured time period exceeds a specified inactivity period. A utility is provided for rendering the monitor enabled. When the enabled monitor determines that the measured time exceeds the specified time, power-up of the system is prevented until the privileged access password (or a power-on password) is successfully entered into the system by a user.

    摘要: An operating system definition file (ODF) is provided for each operating system stored in a computer system. Each ODF contains a list of keywords that define the operating environment for the particular operating system. During setup, a set configuration program reads each ODF and produces a master record that specifies an ordering of non-system memory regions across all of the operating systems that coexist in the computer system, allowing non-system memory allocations to be made to regions that meet all operating system needs. A merge matrix is used to merge records from the ODFs into a common array allowing the records to be searched to find optimum non-system memory allocations. A memory address space topology table is also built by the set configuration program for use by the operating system during initialization and during allocation of memory.
