Abstract: SPI firmware updates can be performed at runtime. A secure SPI flash access domain can be created during pre-boot and used at runtime to deliver and write a SPI firmware update to SPI flash. The secure SPI flash access domain can ensure that only a trusted component running on a trusted CPU core can access a SPI memory layout used to deploy the SPI firmware update to the SPI flash. Once the SPI firmware update is written to the SPI flash, a reboot can be triggered so that the updated SPI firmware is loaded to perform the boot process.

Abstract: A disclosed method includes employing a hybrid context sensing protocol to learn power and video capabilities of a platform to perform seamless graphics remediations, providing a video management module to handle video policies and thermal attributes for seamless recovery of video capabilities across firmware updates/rollbacks, and implementing a hybrid video firmware (HVF) to create a virtual video domain to partially or fully utilize video capabilities based on platform power budgeting policies. The method may further include maintaining a silicon agnostic protected sync of a map between the video random access memory (VRAM)and GPU memory to ensure seamless High Bandwidth Digital Content Protect (HDCP) capability rendering on targeted video devices. The method further comprises using a system on chip (SoC)-agnostic runtime VRAM for uninterrupted graphics rendering across integrated graphics processing unit (iGPU) to discrete GPU (dGPU) transitions or switches.

Abstract: Disclosed are systems, methods, and non-transitory computer-readable storage media for managing email attachments in an online content management system. In some implementations, a messaging client can receive input attaching a content item to an electronic message in a message thread. In response to the input, the messaging client can store the content item in a file system managed by an online content management system, generate a link to the content item, and insert the link in the electronic message. The content item can be shared with the recipients of the electronic message such that the content item can be synchronized across recipient devices by the online content management system. The messaging client on each recipient device and/or the sender's device can present representations of the attachments associated with the message thread in a centralized location on a GUI of the messaging client.

Abstract: A virtual BIOS engine may be configured to, during runtime of an operating system, in response to an operating system event for updating firmware, load onto an isolated compute domain of the processor to emulate firmware update processes of a non-transitory computer-readable media with a virtual non-transitory computer-readable media and emulate the firmware update processes of the cryptoprocessor with a virtual cryptoprocessor, extract a firmware payload to the virtual non-transitory computer-readable media, and execute a virtual trust chain to measure the firmware payload in the virtual non-transitory computer-readable media.

Abstract: Logging downhole exposes components of logging tools, for example, antennas to abrasive and erosive operating conditions. A protective sleeve may disposed about an antenna assembly to protect the antenna assembly for the downhole operating conditions. To permit transmission and receipt of signals by and too the antenna assembly, slots are formed or disposed in the protective sleeve. A non-conductive composite insert is formed in the slots to protect the internal components of the protective sleeve, for example, the antenna assembly, from the operation conditions. A non-conductive composite inner liner is formed in an annulus of the protective sleeve and adheres to the protective sleeve and the non-conductive composite insert. The non-conductive component insert and inner liner allow signals to be transmitted and received by the antenna assembly so that logging operations can be completed without undue delay and the expense of repairing or replacing worn or damaged components.

Abstract: A method for deploying an information handling system (platform) determines whether a hardware key coupled to the platform constitutes a deployment key by validating a GUID of the key against a deployment key signature, generated by a trusted server and stored on the key. If the key is validated, a trust factor evaluation is performed by validating the deployment key against a second key, which is bound to a nonvolatile storage component containing a second key signature, generated by the trusted server based on a GUID of the nonvolatile storage component. Upon validating the trust factor, the platform boots into an unattended deployment mode loaded from the deployment key and validates an unattended deployment binary stored in the deployment key against the second key signature to establish a trusted execution session for loading unattended deployment modules from the deployment key and deploying the platform by executing the unattended deployment modules.

Abstract: A tubular string includes a first tubular member with a pin end with pin threads and a pin external load shoulder. The tubular string also includes a second tubular member with a box end with a box external load shoulder and box threads, the pin threads being threadable into the box threads to form a connection, wherein the pin external load shoulder has an outer diameter (OD) that is different than an OD of the box external load shoulder. A load distribution sleeve is locatable between the first and second tubular members when threaded together and includes a first end facing the first tubular member and a second end facing the second tubular member, wherein the ODs of the load distribution sleeve first and second ends match the ODs of the pin and box external load shoulders respectively. The load distribution sleeve contacts the pin and box external load shoulders and distributes a make-up load between the pin and box external load shoulders when the connection is made up.

Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for supporting use of system BIOS components (e.g., such as BIOS debug messages, debugger firmware, UEFI drivers, etc.) that are stored separately from the remainder of system BIOS firmware for an information handling system. The system BIOS components may represent only a portion of the total BIOS firmware, and may be selectively retrieved and loaded from the separate storage into system memory when needed by the system BIOS for operating purposes (e.g., such as debugging operations).
