Abstract: Systems and methods for operating a vehicle that includes an electric power source for providing propulsive effort to the vehicle are is described. In one example, a remote or external device may generate a request to prepare a vehicle for extended or long term storage. A state of charge of a traction battery and a state of charge of a low voltage battery may be adjusted to prepare the vehicle for extended storage.

Abstract: In one or more embodiments, one or more systems, one or more methods, and/or one or more processes may determine that a platform reset signal from a processor of an information handling system has been asserted; may determine that a power conservation state from the processor was not asserted within an amount of time; may determine that an operating system restart occurred; may notify a hardware root of trust device to authenticate information handling system firmware; may assert a resume reset signal to the processor; may authenticate the information handling system firmware; may de-assert a power OK signal to the processor; may remove power from the processor; may determine that the resume reset signal to the processor is de-asserted and that the processor is out of the power conservation state; and may provide power to the processor.

Abstract: A cryptoprocessor may comprise processing logic configured to upon powering up of a management controller communicatively coupled to a processor of an information handling system and configured to provide management of the information handling system via management traffic communicated between the management controller and a dedicated management network external to the information handling system, preventing the management controller from booting, attempt to authenticate a primary executable code image stored in a primary memory and a backup image to the primary executable code image stored in a secondary memory, and responsive to at least one of the primary executable code image and the backup image being authenticated, allow the management controller to execute an authenticated image comprising one of the primary executable code image and the backup image.

Abstract: A system for coupling data between a host computer and a bank of disk drives. The system includes a plurality of directors for controlling the flow of the data between host computer and the bank of disk drives. Each one of the directors has a primary port and a secondary port. The system includes a first I/O section coupled to a first one of a pair of disk drive sections in the bank of disk drives and a second I/O section coupled to a second one of the pair of disk drive sections in the bank of disk drives.

Abstract: A belt-driven tape cartridge having more internal tape storage capacity than prior art cartridges adhering to a standard, but having the same outside dimensions as such a standard cartridge. The invention optimizes internal tape storage capacity in a approximately standard quarter inch cartridge by optimizing the geometric configuration and placement of internal tape guide rollers, repositioning internal side walls, and optimizing the size of the tape drive roller. Compared to the standard, the tape guide rollers are reduced in diameter and moved further away from the center line of the tape reels. Also in comparison to the standard, the side walls are also repositioned further away from the radial center of the tape reels. Optionally, the drive interface portion of the belt drive roller is decreased in size, while the required linear velocity of the tape is maintained by proportionally decreasing the radius of the belt interface portion of the belt drive roller.

Abstract: A belt-driven tape cartridge that includes at least one vibration damping pin. The cartridge comprises a base plate, two spools and various tape path members, such as roller guides, tension pins, and the like. The vibration damping pin is mounted on the base plate along an otherwise uninterrupted tape run between two tape path members. A characteristic of the damping pin that distinguishes it from other tape path members is that it does not alter the direction of the tape path significantly (if at all), i.e., any wrap angle is minimal; its sole function is to stabilize the tape. Furthermore, the wrap angle remains constant during operation. In embodiments including more than one damping pin, the pins may be distributed on both sides of the tape or all on the same.
