Abstract: Methods, systems, devices and computer-readable media for granting remote access to an electronic device are described herein. An electronic device obtains an encrypted password comprising a password encrypted with a public encryption key. The electronic device outputs the encrypted password for a device user computer to transmit the encrypted password to a support computer to have the encrypted password decrypted with a private encryption key corresponding to the public encryption key. The electronic device receiving an access request comprising the password from the support computer. The electronic device grants the support computer access thereto when the password of the access request from the support computer corresponds to the password at the electronic device.

Abstract: Methods, systems, and software are provided herein that allow for storing a data file in a storage device. The storage system splits a video data file into a plurality of data segments, generates a plurality of recovery headers for the data segments, and combines ones of the recovery headers with ones of the data segments to form a plurality of storage packets.

Abstract: An access controller combines one or more Secure Access Modules (SAMs) or other cryptographic processors with embedded storage, individually accessible by the controller such that waiting on the reply from one of the modules does not prevent accessing the others, a host CPU, running the computer program to perform authentication and access control, and a waiting queue, possibly in system memory, to put the request in when all SAMs are used. The state of the SAMs, possibly using system memory, is tracked to be able to find a free access module or to be able to match a response to the corresponding request. One or more connections (serial, network, wireless or otherwise) are used to connect to transparent smart card readers and door controllers.

Abstract: A heating coil for a plumbing vent is provided to melt snow and ice keeping the plumbing vent clear. The heating coil assembly comprises a hollow cylinder with a helicoid heating element, the cylinder configured to fit inside the plumbing vent. The assembly further comprises at least one bracket configured to fasten the cylinder and retain the helicoid heating element inside and above the cylinder. The heating coil is configured to melt snow and ice keeping the plumbing vent clear.

Abstract: A communication interface is configured to send video frames of a video sequence for delivery to a plurality of clients, wherein the video frames include key frames, and to receive feedback from a delayed client of the plurality of clients indicating that the delayed client requires a slower transmission rate for the video frames. A processing system is configured to, in response to the feedback from the delayed client, direct the communication interface to send subsequent video frames to the plurality of clients except to the delayed client, determine whether the delayed client can receive a next full key frame, and if the delayed client can receive the next full key frame, direct the communication interface to resume transmission of the video sequence to the delayed client starting with the next full key frame in the subsequent video frames that are presently being sent to the other clients.

Abstract: Methods, systems, and software are provided herein that allow a user to store and retrieve data records. In one example, a method of storing data records is provided. The method includes initializing a shared write pointer to a first location in a shared memory of a data storage system, and receiving a plurality of data records transferred by a plurality of data sources for storage in the shared memory. The method also includes, beginning with a first of the plurality of data sources, writing in a cyclic sequence one of the plurality of data records for each of the plurality of data sources based on the shared write pointer, and incrementing the shared write pointer after each writing, and updating at least a header portion of the shared memory with the shared write pointer responsive to each writing.
