  • Patent number: 11986727
    Abstract: An information handling system includes a memory and a processor coupled to the memory. The processor is configured to detect, during execution of a video game application, a gameplay event associated with the video game application. The processor is further configured to determine a mechanical resistance setting associated with an input device of a game controller and to determine one or more positions of the input device at which the mechanical resistance setting is to be applied. The mechanical resistance setting is associated with the gameplay event. The processor is further configured to send, to the game controller, a control signal indicating a configuration of the input device. The configuration is associated with the mechanical resistance setting and the one or more positions.

  • Publication number: 20240113974
    Abstract: Mobile management method, system and client. Method includes receiving a DNS query for a host name from an application on client; retrieving reputation data associated with host name from a local cache on client; and determining a policy based on host name and the reputation data. Based on determined policy for the host name, blocking attempted network flows to a host corresponding to host name to produce blocked attempted network flows. Method also includes sending attempted network flow metadata related to the blocked attempted network flows to a collector on client; transmitting the attempted network flow metadata from the collector to a VPN server pool via a VPN tunnel; and producing an anomaly report from the transmitted attempted network flow metadata. The anomaly report includes at least one of anomalies, cohorts, trends, location boundaries, detected network security issues, detected compromised clients and/or optimized network usage.

  • Publication number: 20240113511
    Abstract: A protection circuit senses when one supply circuit in a group is activating to deliver current to a circuit component and issues firing signals to simultaneously activate other supply circuits in the group. The supply circuits may deliver large currents and high power. The protection circuit may prevent damage to a system that might otherwise occur if one supply circuit in the group activates in isolation.

  • Publication number: 20230310824
    Abstract: A breakaway medical connector can include a housing with engagement features that interface with corresponding engagement features on a breakaway member so that the breakaway is attached to the housing. A second connector can couple to the breakaway member to provide a fluid connection between the first connector and the second connector. If a force above a threshold is applied that pulls the second connector apart from the breakaway connector, the engagement features can be overcome and the breakaway member can detach from the housing. The second connector can detach from the first connector along with the breakaway member. The connector can have a valve that closes the fluid pathway upon the separation of the breakaway member from the housing. In some embodiments, the breakaway member can be reattached to the housing, such as to reestablish fluid communication between the breakaway medical connector and the second medical connector.
