Abstract: Various examples relate to apparatuses, devices, methods, and computer programs for a first computer system, and to computer systems comprising such apparatuses or devices. An apparatus for a first computer system comprises interface circuitry for communicating with one or more second computer systems and processing circuitry. The processing circuitry is configured to determine a status of a firmware of the first computer system, provide information on the status of the firmware to the one or more second computer systems, and obtain a response from at least one of the one or more second computer systems in response to the information on the status of the firmware.

Abstract: An intelligent lock and latch system which may include a housing that can be coupled to a post. The system employs a latch pin that can coupled to a gate and used in connection with the housing to secure the gate. The housing can further comprise a front cavity, a back cavity, one or more mounting holes, a slot, and a recess. The housing can be coupled to the post by one or more fasteners through the housing's mounting holes or using a mounting adapter. The intelligent lock and latch system can further comprise a back cover supporting gears, an electrical system and motor to power the gears, and a keypad to operate the system that be a standalone system or can communicate through wireless communication to a hub or mobile device.
