Abstract: In order to continually receive messages in a dual personal computer system (PC) and personal digital assistant system (PDA) computer architecture, the PC system is deactivated to conserve battery power while the PDA continues to receive messages. As PDA memory is filled with messages, messages that are synchronized and archived with the PC system are deleted and space is freed for incoming messages. When new and non-synchronized messages completely fill the PDA memory array, the PC system is reactivated or the user is informed.

Abstract: A secured communication channel is established between two or more information handling systems by defining attributes for encrypting information with physical inputs made at touch devices of the information handling systems. Inputting the physical gesture at a touch device of each information handling system allows evaluation of one or more attributes at each information handling system so that the shared secret of the physical gesture form the basis for encrypted communications. The touch device includes touch screens or touch pads and the attributes include gesture speed, plural distinct gesture touch points, movement of touch points relative to each other, or other attributes that are determinable from physical gesture inputs at each information handling system.

Abstract: A system for supplying temporary power to a piece of mining equipment includes a power inverter and controller system. The system uses the battery power of a first piece of mining equipment to temporarily move and/or power a second piece of mining equipment. The first piece of mining equipment is preferably a battery powered mobile piece of equipment so that the first piece of mining equipment can move in conjunction with the second piece of mining equipment. The controller can be remote so that an operator can power and/or move the second piece of mining equipment from a distance, either on ground or on the first piece of mining equipment.

Abstract: A simple to customize IT infrastructure architecture. The IT infrastructure architecture includes a general-purpose virtualized architecture platform. The IT infrastructure architecture is well suited for delivering simple pre-packaged software solutions to the small business segment as plug and play type appliances. In certain preferred embodiments, the IT infrastructure architecture includes a virtual appliance memory device such as a virtual appliance universal serial bus (USB) key. The IT infrastructure architecture uses embedded server virtualization technology to host business applications as a virtual appliance.

Abstract: A shifter mechanism includes a secondary detent forming a secondary detent profile having a plurality of gear positions, a shifter lever movable relative to the detent profile and a along a shift path, a lever pivotably secured to the shifter lever and engaging the detent profile as the shifter lever moves along the shift path, and a torsion spring biasing the lever into engagement with the detent profile. The illustrated lever includes a cylindrical-shaped connecting portion operatively secured to the shifter lever and an elongate arm portion extending from the connecting portion and having a free end engaging the secondary detent profile. The illustrated connecting portion is received in a cylindrically-shaped cavity formed by the shifter lever so that the lever is pivotable relative to the shifter lever and the spring extends about the connecting portion to resiliently bias the lever into engagement with the secondary detent profile.
