Abstract: A management controller may request units of diagnostic information from a BIOS of the management controller's host computing device. The management controller may trigger an interrupt, in response to which the BIOS, by the execution of a processor of the host, may cause the diagnostic information to be copied to a video memory of the management controller. Upon the completion of the interrupt handler, a graphics controller of the management controller may cause the diagnostic information to be transferred to a non-volatile memory, and transferred out-of-band to a client device.

Abstract: Systems and methods in accordance with various embodiments of the present disclosure provide secure handling of messages at a hardware-protocol level using a logic device on a server. Various embodiments provide approaches for filtering messages on various buses, such as SSIF, SMBus, PMBus, I2C, and SPI, within a server or a computer. Embodiments may include a policy engine through which message handling logic applied to a given bus or buses may be implemented. A message is compared to one or more policies. The message is allowed to be transmitted to a baseboard management controller based on the one or more policies and a type of message.

Abstract: The present invention relates to process for the preparation of Prasugrel HCl having formula (I).

Abstract: An adhesive membrane comprises (a) a conductor; (b) a composite material comprising conductive particles at least partially embedded in an electrically insulating layer disposed on the conductor; and (c) a pressure sensitive adhesive layer disposed on the composite material, the conductive particles being capable of electrically connecting the conductor to a second conductor under application of sufficient pressure therebetween, the conductive particles having no relative orientation and being disposed so that substantially all electrical connections made between the conductor and a second conductor will be in the z direction, and the combined thickness of the electrically insulating layer and the pressure sensitive adhesive layer being greater than the size of the largest conductive particle when the largest conductive particle is measured in the z direction.

Abstract: A force sensing membrane comprises (a) a first conductor that is movable toward a second conductor; (b) a second conductor; and (c) a composite material disposed between the first and second conductors for electrically connecting the first and second conductors under application of sufficient pressure therebetween; and (d) means for measuring dynamic electrical response across the force sensing membrane, the composite material comprising conductive particles at least partially embedded in an elastomeric layer, the conductive particles having no relative orientation and being disposed so that substantially all electrical connections made between the first and second conductors are in the z direction, and the elastomeric layer being capable of returning to substantially its original dimensions on release of pressure.

Abstract: A connector system for printed circuit boards uses extensions of the traces of the printed circuit board as connector pins by supporting the malleable traces with isolated support pillars. This eliminates the need for electrical junctions between the connector and the printed circuit board. The support pillars provide the necessary mechanical properties for the connector pins. The conductive trace may be adhered to one side of the support or may be draped over the top to cover both sides and may be plated with the material of the support to provide a uniform electrical conductivity over the surface of the formed pin.

Abstract: The invention provides contact adhesives comprising an adhesive component comprising polychloroprene rubber, and an internal coagulant. The contact adhesives may also contain a resinous component selected from the group consisting of ethylene-vinyl acetate copolymer, polyvinyl acetate homopolymer, polyvinyl acetate copolymer, acrylic copolymer, polyvinyl acetate acrylic copolymer, and combinations thereof. The internal coagulant may be hygroscopic salt, amino acid, or a combination thereof.

Abstract: A spacer for use with a powdered medicament inhaler. The spacer comprises a slender curved body, which defines a chamber, an inlet communicating with the chamber and an outlet communicating with the chamber. The inlet and outlet are arranged so that in use an airstream passing from the inlet through the chamber to he outlet is caused by the slender curved body to following a rotational flow path. This selectively extracts particles of powdered medicament entrained in the airstream.

Abstract: The invention relates to a storage stable, fast-setting, aqueous contact adhesive composition comprising an adhesive component and boric acid. The composition can further include an amino acid, such as glycine. The composition finds particularly preferred use for bonding substrates, such as foam, in the furniture industry.
