Patent number: 10452877Abstract: An access control reader includes a credential interface and a network interface. The access control reader includes a processor coupled to the credential interface and the network interface and computer memory coupled with the processor and comprising instructions that are executable by the processor. The instructions comprise instructions to determine that the access control reader has been connected to a power source, and instructions to monitor activity at the credential interface after the access control reader has been connected to the power source. The instructions comprise instructions that cause the access control reader to enter either a first mode of operation or a second mode of operation dependent upon whether or not activity is detected at the credential interface within a threshold amount of time after the access control reader has been connected to the power source.Type: GrantFiled: December 12, 2017Date of Patent: October 22, 2019Assignee: ASSA ABLOY ABInventors: Flaviu Cristian Chis, Bryan Stephen Holloway, John Frame

Patent number: 9792455Abstract: An information handling system (IHS) performs security policy enforcement using security policy data maintained in an embedded controller, which operates within a privileged environment. The security policy data identifies security policies established for the IHS. The EC is directly connected to a number of sensors from which the EC receives sensor data and to at least one integrated functional device. The EC determines whether the received sensor data fulfills any trigger condition of a security policy. If the received sensor data does not fulfill any trigger condition of a security policy described by the security policy data, the EC continues to monitor sensors for updated sensor data. However, if the received sensor data fulfills any trigger condition of the security policy, the EC performs a security measure that involves enabling, disabling, or resetting one or more of the at least one integrated functional devices that can be disabled.Type: GrantFiled: May 5, 2016Date of Patent: October 17, 2017Assignee: Dell Products, L.P.Inventors: James T. Gillon, Ricardo L. Martinez, Flaviu Cristian Chis

Patent number: 9760141Abstract: A dynamic power distribution system includes a dynamic powering system that provides dynamic power, an external device, and a powered system that is coupled to the external device and engaging the dynamic powering system. The powered system determines a power budget using the dynamic power received from the dynamic powering system. The powered system also determines a powered system component load for a plurality of powered system components, receives a power request from the external device, and retrieves at least one power distribution rule. Using the powered system component load, the power request, and the at least one power distribution rule, and powered system allocates and distributes a first portion the power budget to the external device, and may also allocate and distribute a second portion the power budget to at least one of the plurality of powered system components. The dynamic powering system may be a wireless powering system.Type: GrantFiled: October 4, 2016Date of Patent: September 12, 2017Assignee: Dell Products L.P.Inventors: Andrew Thomas Sultenfuss, Flaviu Cristian Chis
