Patent number: 8296486Abstract: An apparatus comprising a single memory device providing data storage, a controller for controlling data transfer to and from the data storage, and first and second bus connector plugs, wherein each plug has contacts for connecting with the power, ground, and data contacts of a port of a host system. The power and ground contacts of the first and second plugs are coupled together to provide power to the apparatus through either or both plugs. Data from either or both plugs is communicated with the controller depending upon which plugs are coupled to a port. The controller is responsible for controlling the read and write operations of the data storage. The apparatus may be any type of external memory device, such as a flash drive, or a peripheral device having a high data transfer rate, such as a digital video camera.Type: GrantFiled: March 17, 2008Date of Patent: October 23, 2012Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Shreyas Abhay Kale, Julie Morris, Justin Monroe Pierce, Richard W. Vanderpool, III

Publication number: 20120266265Abstract: This invention provides vectors and methods for the stable introduction of exogenous nucleic acid sequences into the genome of avians in order to express the exogenous sequences to alter the phenotype of the avians or to produce desired proteins. In particular, transgenic avians are produced which express exogenous sequences in their oviducts and which deposit exogenous proteins into their eggs. Avian eggs that contain exogenous proteins are encompassed by this invention. The instant invention further provides novel forms of interferon and erythropoietin which are efficiently expressed in the oviduct of transgenic avians and deposited into avian eggs.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 24, 2011Publication date: October 18, 2012Inventors: Robert D. Ivarie, Alex J. Harvey, Julie A. Morris, Guodong Liu, Jeffrey C. Rapp

Publication number: 20100071077Abstract: An apparatus, system, and method are disclosed for detecting tampering of devices such as fiscal printers. A memory module includes a volatile memory that stores multi-bit data. An operation module allows operation of an electronic device, such as a fiscal printer, in response to determining that the predefined multi-bit data is stored in the volatile memory. A detection module detects an attempt to access the enclosed device where access to the enclosed device is restricted by an enclosure. A tamper switch module disconnects power to the volatile memory such that the predefined multi-bit data stored in the volatile memory is erased in response to the detection module detecting an attempted access to the enclosed device. A shutdown module disables operation of the electronic device in response to determining that the predefined multi-bit data is not stored in the volatile memory.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 12, 2008Publication date: March 18, 2010Applicant: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Julie A. Morris, James M. White, Wayne R. Hucaby
