Abstract: Systems and methods are disclosed that may be implemented to install and use a replacement BIOS code stored in non-volatile memory of the system BIOS to facilitate activation of a new or replacement OS on an information handling system. The replacement BIOS code may include an activation certificate of authority information to activate a different version operating system for use on an information handling system that has been previously configured with a different operating system version along with a previous BIOS code that did not include the updated OEM activation string.

Abstract: A system and method for configuring a unique computer name record for an information handling system included in a network of a plurality of information handling systems. The method and system for dynamically generating a unique computer name for each information handling system that is connected to a network of information handling systems includes reading a service tag identifier that uniquely identifies the information handling system, incorporating at least a portion of the service tag identifier to define the unique computer name record; and using a substantially similar boot program to boot the information handling system and the plurality of information handling systems.

Abstract: A method and system for enabling removal of a removable medium of a boot device included in a computer system when booting a boot operating system. A boot device driver program, included in the boot operating system, is executed to configure a RAM disk. The boot device driver program copies the contents of the boot sector of the removable medium to the RAM disk. The boot device driver program modifies the boot operating system by redirecting the boot media input/output to the RAM disk. The redirection of the boot media I/O to the RAM disk enables the removal of the removable medium.

Abstract: The present invention relates generally to a method for detecting abnormalities or a propensity for an abnormality to occur in an animal such as a human. The abnormality of the present invention relates generally to conditions arising from interruption in signalling associated with receptor-type tyrosine kinase-like molecules and in particular RYK (related to tyrosine kinase) receptors. Such abnormalities include aberrations in the normal morphogenesis of craniofacial structures including secondary palate as well as a range of aberrations resulting in neural conditions affecting angiogenesis and conditions affecting muscle development or maintenance. The present invention permits the early diagnosis of such defects and conditions such as in utero and provides a means for genetic or other therapeutic intervention.

Abstract: The stabilizing apparatus of the present invention has the advantages of allowing the computer system tower units to be positioned in close proximity with respect to each other while providing stability for a single or multiple tower units. The present invention provides a stabilizing apparatus for a computer system having one or more tower units with a generally narrow width base with respect to the depth and height of each tower unit. At least one pedestal spans the base of the tower unit in a direction transverse to the depth of the tower unit. The pedestal of the present invention is a single bar having two ends which extend outwardly from opposite sides of the tower unit for preventing the tower unit from overturning. Alternatively, the ends are also angled downwardly for raising the base of the tower unit. Screws are used, for instance, to attach the pedestal to the tower unit.
