  • Patent number: 11678461
    Abstract: A fan tray system includes a fan tray base that couples to a chassis and that includes fan system connector(s) for connecting to a fan system. A fan tray side wall includes fan system guide member(s) that align the fan system for connection to the fan system connector(s), and is connected to the fan tray base by a moveable coupling that allows relative movement between the fan tray side wall and the fan tray base. That relative movement allows the fan tray side wall to be positioned in a first orientation when the fan tray base is coupled to the chassis such that the fan tray side wall is positioned adjacent a chassis wall of the chassis and impedes access component(s) in the chassis. That relative movement also allows the fan tray side wall to be moved to a second orientation that allows access to the component(s) in the chassis.

  • Patent number: 11609617
    Abstract: An information handling system, including two or more single-slot M.2 modules; a dual-slot discrete graphics processing unit (dGPU) module; a printed circuit board, including: a plurality of M.2 connectors aligned on a same edge of the printed circuit board such that: a first single-slot M.2 module of the two or more single-slot M.2 modules is coupled to a first M.2 connector of the plurality of M.2 connectors; a second single-slot M.2 module of the two or more single-slot M.2 modules is coupled to a second M.2 connector of the plurality of M.2 connectors; and the dual-slot dGPU module is coupled to a third and a fourth M.2 connector of the plurality of M.2 connectors.

  • Publication number: 20090041019
    Abstract: A multi-protocol label switching network or domain (1), and method of operating the same. Label switching control paths are established for forwarding control packets between routers (E1-E4, C1-C6) according to control labels assigned to the control packets by a label assignment server (2). Control labels are assigned by assigning a respective unique control label to respective directional pairs of edge routers, each directional pair comprising a combination of an edge router pair and a direction between the edge routers of the pair. Traffic data paths are also established for forwarding traffic data packets between the routers according to traffic data labels assigned to the traffic data packets. The traffic data labels are distinct from the control labels, and the traffic data paths are different from the control paths.

  • Publication number: 20030058274
    Abstract: The present invention relates to an interface device and, in particular an interface device for providing communication security services. The problem of providing communication security services to, for example, a pair of host computers that must communicate over an insecure public network is a widely addressed one. It is known to provide cryptographic functionality to a host computer such that data traffic transmitted by the host computer can be secured. However a major weakness of known methods is that such cryptographic processing is either carried out on the host or such that, following passing the data to be secured to an additional cryptographic accelerator device plugged into the host, the cryptographically processed data is passed back to the host before subsequent transmission.

  • Patent number: 6236981
    Abstract: In a digital payment system, a sequence of random numbers is stored at a payment service. A set of digitally encoded random numbers derived from the stored sequence is issued to the user in return for payment. The tokens are stored in a Carnet. The user can then spend the tokens by transferring tokens to a merchant, for example, to an on-line service provider. The merchant returns each token received to the payment server. The payment server authenticates the token and transmits an authentication message to the merchant. The merchant, payment server and user may be linked by internet connections.
