  • Patent number: 10171505
    Abstract: Embodiments for implementing change control management in computing center environments by a processor. A physical activity of a user performing an action in the computing center environment is monitored. If the monitored activity is determined to be contrary, or predicted to be contrary, to a preferred, predetermined action for the computing center environment, the user is alerted that the action is contrary, and an operation is performed on the computing center environment to secure data in the computing center environment from damage potentially caused by the contrary action.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 5660291
    Abstract: A collapsible cage has a base upon which is supported a plurality of side panels and top panel. The assembled cage has its side panels in an upright position with the top panel located thereover, the panels being locked into their positions by locking means. The side panels and top panel may be collapsed so that they assume a substantially horizontally stacked position over the base by operation of the collapsing means. The locking means comprises a vertically displaceable member having a catch means mounted on a first panel and a recessed portion on an adjacent second panel for receiving the catch means. A vertical rod connected to the displaceable member extends downwardly to engage an opening in the base of the cage. Collapsing is achieved by pivoting each pair of adjacent side panels into coplanar relationship, and then each coplanar pair to the base. Hinges pivoting adjacent panels are double hinges allowing a panel to pivot 90.degree. inwards to lay on the inside of the adjacent panel or 270.degree.
