  • Publication number: 20240012651
    Abstract: An information handling system includes a memory that stores context data associated with a crash of the information handling system. A BIOS determines whether a crash of the information handling system occurred during a most recent operating system runtime of the information handling system. In response to the determination of the crash during the most recent operating system runtime, the embedded controller reads the context data associated with the crash of the information handling system. An embedded controller verifies a golden BIOS image for the information handling system, and sets an indication for an operating system of the information handling system to revert to original setting for a healthy boot.

  • Patent number: 9659396
    Abstract: Simulating cloth garments can be a large challenge that requires both directability as well as stability. In various embodiments, cloth garments can be animated using a technique called “Clothwarp.” Clothwarp assists garment animation through methods of cloth articulation and simulation targeting. In one aspect, Clothwarp grants another level of directable control on simulation, allowing the artist to modify the influence of the warp, both as a target input into the simulation and as a cleanup tool on simulation results.

  • Publication number: 20150052817
    Abstract: A locking system for a casement window that provides a corner drive assembly for transmitting vertical movement of a lock bar along one side of the window frame into horizontal movement of a lock bar disposed along a top of the window frame. Thus, lock points on both the non-hinged side of the window frame as well as the top of the window frame may be provided. The corner drive assembly includes a side plunger that is coupled to the side lock bar and a top plunger that is coupled to a top lock bar. Both side and top keepers are provided to provide lock points along the non-hinged side as well as the top of the window. The system may also be extended with a second corner drive assembly in the second upper corner of the casement window and that may extend down the hinged side of the frame and sash as well.
