Abstract: A module comprises a tray, a mechanical switch, and a linkage system. The tray is configured to receive a circuit board thereon. The mechanical switch is mounted to the tray and movable between an unsecured position and a secured position. The linkage system is mechanically coupled to the mechanical switch, and moves between an unsecured configuration and a secured configuration in response to the mechanical switch moving between the unsecured position and the secured position. When the module is coupled to a computing device and the linkage system is in the secured configuration, the linkage system engages the computing device, such that the module is locked to the computing device. When the module is coupled to the computing device and the linkage system is in the unsecured configuration, the linkage system is disengaged from the computing device, such that the module is unlocked from the computing device.

Abstract: Techniques related to a latency profiling mechanism are described. A method may monitor at least one attribute associated with each of one or more frames of images by tracking a respective identifier of each of the one or more frames as each of the one or more frames is processed through a first pipeline of one or more processing stages of an image processing device. The method may also obtain one or more indications related to one or more performance indices in the first pipeline of one or more processing stages based at least in part on the monitoring of the at least one attribute.

Abstract: A secure real-time data replication system includes a key management server that provides keys to hosts that store encrypted data. Data to be written in one host is encrypted using a key received from the key management server; the encrypted data is stored in the host. A copy of the data is provided to another host for real-time data replication. In the other host, the copy of the data is encrypted using another key received from the key management server; the encrypted copy of the data is stored in the other host. Keys are provided by the key management server based on policy rules governing the keys.

Abstract: A password management service located either on a user computer or in the cloud intercepts a user's attempt to create an account on a Web site. The user enters a sequence of a physical key combination and the service assigns a particular keyboard layout for this Web site. The service generates a password by combining the key combination with the assigned keyboard layout and returns this password to the user or to the Web site. The service stores the name of the Web site in association with the designated keyboard layout. Upon a subsequent login attempt, the service again intercepts the user's typing of the same physical key combination, generates the same password by combining the key combination with the previously assigned and stored keyboard layout, and returns the generated password to the Web site for authentication. A keyboard layout for a site may be chosen by the user, may be selected by the service, or a random layout may be generated.

Abstract: Methods and apparatus for implementing input data security processing on user input data are disclosed. The user input data is entered on a webpage that contains a destination specification for an intermediary security service and an encrypted destination specification for a receiving module of the application program. The user input data is first sent to the intermediary security service for performing input data security processing on the user input data. If the user input data is deemed acceptable, the user input data is sent to the receiving module by decrypting the encrypted destination specification for the receiving module to obtain the destination specification for the receiving module and transmitting the user data to the receiving module using the destination specification for the receiving module.

Abstract: A wheel assembly for a cart includes a wheel having an axle hole, a sleeve having a passage defined to communicate with the at least two cutouts in a distal end of the sleeve, an axle extending into the axle hole of the wheel and the passage of the sleeve, the axle having an annular groove to be exposed to the at least two cutouts of the sleeve after the axle is extended into the passage of the sleeve, and a clamp having two distal ends extending into the at least two cutouts to clamp a bottom face defining the annular groove.
