  • Publication number: 20240134631
    Abstract: An information handling system includes a memory and a processor. The memory stores a current basic input/output system (BIOS) firmware image. During a regular boot mode of the information handling, the processor creates a first set of tables associated with the current BIOS firmware image, stores the first tables to the memory, and receives a BIOS firmware update image. During a BIOS update boot mode of the information handling system, the processor creates a second plurality of tables associated with the BIOS firmware update image, and compares the first and second tables. In response to a difference being determined between the first and second tables, the processor aborts the BIOS update boot mode and generate an error log.

  • Patent number: 11944130
    Abstract: A vaporizer device includes various modular components. The vaporizer device includes a first subassembly. The first subassembly includes a cartridge connector that secures a vaporizer cartridge to the vaporizer device and includes at least two receptacle contacts that electrically communicate with the vaporizer cartridge. The vaporizer device includes a second subassembly. The second subassembly includes a skeleton defining a rigid tray that retains at least a power source. The vaporizer device also includes a third subassembly. The third subassembly includes a plurality of charging contacts that supply power to the power source, and an end cap that encloses an end of the vaporizer device.

  • Patent number: 7631941
    Abstract: An apparatus having a fabric and method of forming thereof. The fabric's load bearing surface for supporting a load, comprising: at least one layer(s) (Ln) wherein n=0, ?1, ?2, . . . ?i, wherein n=0 represents the at least one layer(s) (Ln) of the load bearing surface that contacts the load. An n=?1, ?2, . . . ?i, represents successive underlying at least one layer(s) (Ln) of the load bearing surface. An n=?i, represents a bottom underlying at least one layer(s) (Ln). The fabric consists essentially of a polyurethane fiber and a fiber that is chemically different from the polyurethane fiber, and wherein the fabric has been stretched to the point just before encountering the Young's Modulus. The method comprising: cutting the fabric to a predetermined pattern; and stretching the fabric to the point just before encountering the Young's Modulus.
