Abstract: A liquid birdfeeder includes a generally upstanding container having a large opening at its top end and a bottleneck opening at its lower end. A quarter-turn removable cap is screw-threaded onto the top end to seal the top end opening. The lower bottleneck opening is screw-threaded into a central collar of a feeding basin having a plurality of feeding ports. An actuator rod extends longitudinally through the container and is operatively connected to a biased sealing mechanism which selectively seals or opens the bottleneck opening. When the removable cap is screw-threaded onto the top end opening, the cap depresses the actuator rod causing the biased sealing mechanism to move to an open position which allows liquid to flow out from the container into the feeding basin.

Abstract: An information handling system having a plurality of blade server modules (BSMs) and power supply units (PSUs) uses a module monitor board (MMB) to monitor and control a power budget of the PSUs by each individual BSM requesting authorization from the MMB in order to power ON and boot-up. A blade management controller (BMC) may communicate with the MMB over a communications bus. However, if the firmware application controlling the BMC has been corrupted the BMC it may run in a “boot block” mode and not contain the intelligence necessary to obtain power ON authorization from the MMB. A single, existing input-output (I/O) line from the MMB to the BMC may be utilized to indicate power ON authorization for the respective BSM. The MMB and BMC may be adapted for preventing the BSM from powering ON without proper authorization from the MMB and that the BMC will always power ON the BSM when enough power is available from the PSU.

Abstract: A system and method for indirect throttling of a system resource by a processor are disclosed. An information handling system includes a chassis that receives modular components, a processor disposed in the chassis and a system resource in communication with the processor. A management module associated with the chassis generates a throttle signal that throttles operation of the processor in response to receiving an alarm such that the processor reduces the throughput of the system resource.
