Patent number: 11165643Abstract: Automatic detection and remediation of a noncompliant configuration of an information handling system is disclosed. A determination is made whether a triggering event has occurred that has a potential for degrading compliance of the information handling system. In response to determining that the triggering event has occurred, a configuration scan of the hardware and software of the information handling system is performed to obtain current configuration information. The current configuration information is compared to baseline configuration information that was obtained in response to a previous triggering event. Subsequently, a determination is made as to whether any changes determined in the current configuration information are non-compliant based on a comparison to compliance status information. One or more compliance remediation operations are invoked in response to determining that at least one change is non-compliant.Type: GrantFiled: November 30, 2020Date of Patent: November 2, 2021Assignee: WELLS FARGO BANK, N.A.Inventors: Justin Christopher Blackburn, Jacob Blackburn, Lorie Royal, Shawn Kelly

Patent number: 11100460Abstract: A system for replenishing a pick face includes a storage and retrieval machine (SRM) that traverses an aisle of a warehouse and monitors a replenishment position of each pick location of a pick face. The SRM transmits a message to the system indicating which ones of the replenishment positions are empty. The SRM delivers a replenishment load to a pick location that is indicated as empty in the message. Each pick location includes a flow lane configured to direct the motion of package loads sliding down to a picking position of the pick face. The flow lane includes a lever arm assembly that constrains and brakes the motion of package loads sliding down the flow lane. A bar stop of the lever arm assembly constrains a replenishment load, while a retainer bar of the lever arm assembly constrains a forward load. The replenishment load is behind the forward load.Type: GrantFiled: March 22, 2019Date of Patent: August 24, 2021Assignee: Dematic Corp.Inventors: Criston S. Stevens, Christopher Blackburn, Paul K.

Patent number: 10855536Abstract: A method, enterprise information handling system (IHS), and a computer-readable storage medium provide for mitigating a noncompliant configuration of an IHS. A determination is made whether a triggering event has occurred that has a potential for degrading compliance of the enterprise IHS. In response to determining that the triggering event has occurred, a controller performs a configuration scan of the hardware and software of the enterprise IHS to obtain current configuration information. The controller determines changes in the current configuration information based on a comparison of the current configuration information with baseline configuration information that was obtained in response to a previous triggering event. A determination is made whether any changes determined in the current configuration information are non-compliant based on a comparison to compliance status information.Type: GrantFiled: January 25, 2019Date of Patent: December 1, 2020Assignee: Wells Fargo Bank, N.A.Inventors: Justin Christopher Blackburn, Jacob Blackburn, Lorie Royal, Shawn Kelly
