Abstract: A network of microcontrollers for monitoring and diagnosing the environmental conditions of a computer is disclosed. The network of microcontrollers provides a management system by which computer users can accurately gauge the health of their computer. The network of microcontrollers provides users the ability to detect system fan speeds, internal temperatures and voltage levels. The invention is designed to not only be resilient to faults, but also allows for the system maintenance, modification, and growth—without downtime. Additionally, the present invention allows users to replace failed components, and add new functionality, such as new network interfaces, disk interface cards and storage, without impacting existing users. One of the primary roles of the present invention is to manage the environment without outside involvement. This self-management allows the system to continue to operate even though components have failed.

Abstract: A refrigeration system including a refrigeration circuit that has an evaporator, a compressor, a condenser, and a heat exchanger. The evaporator, compressor, and condenser are fluidly connected and arranged in series with each other. A liquid line fluidly connects the evaporator to the condenser and a suction line fluidly connects the compressor to the evaporator. The heat exchanger includes a plurality of first refrigerant flow tubes that is in fluid communication with one of the suction line and the liquid line, and a second refrigerant flow tube that is in fluid communication with the other of the suction line and the liquid line. Each of the first refrigerant flow tubes and the second refrigerant flow tube have microchannels, and the second refrigerant flow tube positioned between and cooperates with the first refrigerant flow tubes to heat vapor refrigerant flowing in the suction line.

Abstract: A system and method for marking electronic devices for processing. A determination is made whether one or more electronic devices include customer personal information during at least receiving the one or more electronic devices. An electronic device is marked as quarantined in response to determining CPI is included on the electronic device. The electronic device is separated from an inventory of electronic devices in response to marking the electronic device.

Abstract: A merchandiser including a case defining a product display area and having case structure. The merchandiser also includes a light assembly. The light assembly has a light housing and a light source coupled to the light housing to direct light generally toward the product display area. The merchandiser further includes an attachment mechanism having a magnet housing and a magnet substantially enclosed by the magnet housing. The attachment mechanism is coupled to the light housing opposite the light source to attach the light assembly to the case structure.

Abstract: A shipping system and method for tracking customer personal information in electronic devices. The shipping system includes a processor for executing a set of instructions and a memory for storing the set of instructions. The instructions are executed by the processor to receive one or more electronic devices for shipping to a destination, determine whether the one or more electronic devices include CPI, record an identification and metadata of the one or more electronic devices in response to determining CPI is included on the one or more electronic devices, and prevent the shipping system from generating a shipping label to ship the one or more electronic devices in response to determining the CPI is included on the one or more electronic devices.

Abstract: A system and method for operating a product return system. One or more electronic devices are received from a carrier at a return provider. A determination is made whether the one or more electronic devices include customer personal information. The one or more electronic devices are quarantined in response to determining the one or more electronic devices include CPI. The one or more electronic devices are processed in response to determining the CPI has been removed.

Abstract: A system and method for auditing electronic devices to verify removal of customer personal information (CPI). An electronic device is received at a facility. An electronic device is tested utilizing a test device to determine whether there is CPI on the electronic device. An identification of the electronic device is recorded in response to determining the CPI is on the electronic device. An alert associated with the identification is stored to indicate that CPI is on the electronic device.

Abstract: A system and method for a warehouse management system for tracking devices with customer private information. The system includes one or more testing devices for testing devices to determine whether the customer personal information is present. The system further includes a receiving system operable to receive devices for entry as inventory. The shipping system prevents the devices from being entered as inventory in response to the testing device determine CPI is present on one or more of the devices. The system further includes a shipping system operable to prevent the one or more devices from being shipped to a recipient in response to determining the CPI is present on the one or more devices.

Abstract: A system and method for processing electronic devices to determine removal of customer personal information (CPI). An electronic device is connected to a test device. A number of electronic devices including the electronic device are received for determining that the CPI is removed from a number of sources. The number of electronic devices include a number of makes and models of electronic devices. A determination of whether CPI is included on the electronic device is made. An identification of the electronic device is recorded in response to determining that CPI is included on the electronic device. The CPI is cleared form the electronic device in response to determining that the CPI is included on the electronic device. The identification of the electronic devices and metadata is reported in response to determining the CPI was included on the electronic device.

Abstract: A refrigerated merchandiser including a case that defines a product display area with an opening. The case includes a base that has an air inlet located adjacent the product display area. The refrigerated merchandiser also includes a canopy that is disposed substantially above the product display area, and that has an air outlet located adjacent the product display area. A primary passageway fluidly connects the air inlet with the air outlet to direct a first refrigerated airflow from the air outlet across the opening. The refrigerated merchandiser further includes a shelf coupled to the case within the product display area, and a duct apparatus removably coupled to the shelf and in direct fluid communication with the primary passageway. The duct apparatus defines a secondary air passageway between the primary passageway and the product display area to direct a second refrigerated airflow from the duct apparatus across the opening below the canopy.

Abstract: A merchandiser including a case that has an air inlet and defines a product display area with a customer access opening. The merchandiser also includes a canopy that has a first air outlet and a second air outlet, a first passageway connecting the air inlet with the first air outlet to direct a first airflow through the first air outlet at least partially across the opening to define a primary air curtain, and a second passageway in fluid communication with a HVAC system by ducting coupled between the merchandiser and the HVAC system to direct a second airflow defining a secondary air curtain from the HVAC system through the second air outlet at least partially across the opening. The primary and secondary air curtains cooperate with each other to minimize infiltration of ambient air into the product display area.

Abstract: A motorized mount system includes first and second mount brackets, where one or both of the mount brackets is motorized to pivot a monitor. The motorized bracket includes a motorized actuator system that releaseably engages with the monitor. The actuator system includes a moving block that releaseably pushes the monitor to tilt up, and uses the weight of the monitor to tilt down the monitor. The monitor can be separated with the moving block so that if a foreign object gets between the bottom end of the monitor and the wall, the foreign object needs to counteract the weight of the monitor but not the force due to the motor.
