Abstract: A system is disclosed which utilizes a stabilization disk 30 or rigid cup containing adhesive which is bonded to an underside of a circuit board and then bolted to a chassis of a piece of military electronic equipment, so as to create a mounting location between the circuit board and the chassis where the circuit board is lacking a regular fastener receiving mounting hole therethrough.

Abstract: A system and method for sanitizing a mass storage device on a host computer which includes a control system which receives input which starts a process of sanitizing a mass storage device, which includes a switch which isolates the mass storage device from an input interface that is used in normal operations and provides signals from an alternate input to the mass storage device to sanitize the mass storage.

Abstract: A system and method for stabilizing a DIMM in a DIMM connector so as to reduce wear related electrical disconnections therebetween. A base is disposed between adjacent DIMM connectors and is coupled to the motherboard. A cap engages a top edge of a plurality of DIMMs and an adjustable force is applied to the top of the DIMMS by turning a screw which extends from the cap into the base.

Abstract: The present invention is an apparatus and method for provisioning a compact power filter connection to a well-grounded connector in such a way as to include a capacitive and inductive circuit connection, extremely near the connector and filter, such that EMC compatibility is created in a space roughly 30% of traditional mechanisms and design approach to satisfy the aforementioned needs, provide the previously stated objects, include the above-listed features, and achieve the already articulated advantages. The present invention is carried out in a “post-internal ferrite bead re-radiation noise-less” manner, in a sense that ability to have noise introduced back onto a post-ferrite bead line has been greatly reduced.

Abstract: The present invention is an apparatus and method for allowing for the use of commercial dual inline memory module (DIMM) in high shock and vibration environments while preserving serviceability. This system extends the performance of the standard Joint Electron Device Engineering (JEDEC) memory connectors in said environments without sacrificing high speed electrical performance. The system provides a simple clip which locks the module in place using the standard connector latches preventing relative motion of the connector and the DIMM thereby insuring uninterrupted computational performance. The clip may be formed with resilient ends that snap onto pivotal latching devices to prevent inadvertent opening of these latching devices. The clips may also include bumper spacers (205) on their opposite faces to engage bumper spacers of adjacent clips to maintain the modules in proper orientation.

Abstract: A system and method for retaining a commercial off the shelf connector and cable into a connector on a pc is shown and described as having a wire bail or retaining clip, which is either screwed to or forced into a friction fit behind a rear panel of the PC at the COTS connectors. The bail or retention clip extends beyond the end of the connector and cradles the cord, this helps to distribute the weight of the cord/cable. Also, the clip is sized and configured to make inadvertent disconnection of the connector less likely.

Abstract: A system and method for enhancing the functionality of a dual opposing ISA/PCI bus alarm card of an industrial computer where the alarm card includes a microserver for communicating with web-enabled information on the host computer.

Abstract: A system and method for providing the functionality of independent dedicated servers in a space savings and heat dissipation limited design, including a PC having a plurality of independent dedicated server cards which do not communicate over the PC system bus and only receive power therefrom. Communication with the server cards is done by independent pin connections on the exterior of the PC housing.

Abstract: A system and method for monitoring and managing an industrial computer which generates a web page, the system comprising an internal web page cache which stores numerous recent versions of said web page and makes them available via an independent management appliance CPU and an out-of-band connection to the internet.

Abstract: A system and method for extending a separation distance between a PC and its accompanying keyboard, video display, mouse and serial port, which includes an internal expansion card disposed in a PC where the expansion card combines/multiplexes conventional keyboard, video display, mouse and serial signals, to/from a combined signal on a single elongated link cable extending to a remote module disposed near the remote keyboard, video display, mouse and ports.

Abstract: A system and method using SMTP messages for remotely and simultaneously reconfiguring monitor parameters in management appliances disposed in numerous dispersed industrial computers.

Abstract: A system and method for deploying a 1 U-sized display/keyboard unit in a rack of industrial computers which uses a display in a leading position in a linear arrangement with a keyboard, where the display is pivotable with respect to the keyboard and the keyboard is independently retractable with respect to the display.

Abstract: A system and method for repairing a PC where an extender card with both ISA and PCI buss connections is used to elevate the motherboard during troubleshooting operations, the extender card includes imbedded thereon, current-measurement stations to aid in efficient assessment of current flow through portions of the motherboard.

Abstract: A system and method for providing non-volatile memory to a PC which includes a compact flash expansion slot coupled to a horizontal backplane in an industrial PC and in the alternative, having an externally accessible slot for receiving a compact flash expansion card therein.
