Abstract: An information handling system keyboard has plural key caps coupled to a frame with a vertical travel having a raised position defined by engagement between a stop of the frame and a key cap extension from the key cap. A fluid reservoir coupled to the key cap at the key cap extension dampens contact between the extension and stop to reduce sound generated from the keyboard at release of the keyboard key. The fluid reservoir is, for instance, an acoustic grease enclosed in membrane and integrated in the keyboard key at the extension where it aligns with the stop.

Abstract: Dynamic snapshot scheduling techniques are provided using storage system metrics. One method comprises obtaining a schedule for generating snapshots of a portion of a storage system; automatically adjusting snapshot generation parameters in the schedule based on: (i) a current storage pool usage metric, (ii) an input/output metric of at least one storage resource in the portion of the storage system, (iii) a measure of snapshots in a destroying state, and/or (iv) a measure of a number of created snapshots; and initiating a generation of a snapshot of the storage system portion in accordance with the adjusted schedule. A snapshot generation frequency may be increased in response to an increase of: the current storage pool usage metric, the number of snapshots in the destroying state, and/or the number of created snapshots. A snapshot generation frequency may be decreased in response to an increase of the I/O metric of the at least one storage resource.

Abstract: Systems and methods provide validation of hardware components of an IHS (Information Handling System). An attestation certificate stored to the IHS specifies authenticated instructions for operation of a hardware component of the IHS. This attestation certificate is endorsed by a self-signed root attestation certificate. An identity certificate, also stored to the IHS, specifies an identity of the hardware component and is endorsed using an embedded keypair of the hardware component. The root attestation certificate is validated to ensure it corresponds to the hardware component specified in the identity certificate, where this validation confirms that a public key included in the identity certificate is identical to a public key included in the attestation certificate.

Abstract: An information handling system includes a hardware device having a query processing engine to provide queries into source data and to provide responses to the queries. A processor stores a query to a query address in the memory device, issues a command to the hardware device, the command including the query address and a response address in the memory device, and retrieves a response to the query from the response address. The hardware device retrieves the query from the query address in response to the command, provides the query to the query processing engine, and stores a response to the query from the query processing engine to the response address.

Abstract: System and method are provided for assigning a service identifier for use by an IHS (Information Handling System), where a new service identifier may be assigned to the IHS due to replacement of hardware of the IHS. The IHS is provisioned with an inventory certificate that identifies hardware components of the IHS, including a service identifier for the IHS.

Abstract: One example method includes adjusting overall resource usage in a digital twin network that includes a dynamically informed digital twin of a near-edge node and a dynamically informed digital twin of far-edge nodes. Operational conditions of a dynamically informed digital twin are evaluated based on contextual variables that represent operating properties of the dynamically informed digital twin. Updated information levels are received from an orchestration service of the dynamically informed digital twin. The updated information levels define an amount of resources the dynamically informed digital twin will use in the performance of primary tasks. The updated information levels are parsed. A physical entity associated with the dynamically informed digital twin is informed to adjust sampling properties or increase or decrease its activity and the dynamically informed digital twin is informed to modify information processing methods to thereby adjust the overall resource usage in the digital twin network.
