Abstract: An electro-mechanical linear actuator is provided and includes a housing. A motor is supported within the housing and includes an output shaft. A gear package includes a drive package. The gear package is configured to engage the motor such that rotation of the output shaft provides rotation of the gear package. A lead screw engages the gear package such that rotation of the gear package provides rotation of the lead screw. A nut assembly engages the lead screw such that rotation of the output shaft causes axial travel of the nut assembly. A drag link is coupled to the nut assembly such as to provide axial travel of the drag link. An electrical connector is formed as a single unitary body with the housing and is configured to receive an electrical connector in electrical communication with an external controller.

Abstract: To improve identifying and tracking errors on a computer, an operating system for a computer is programmed to have a framework allowing programmable monitors of events to be defined. These programmable monitors are programmed to detect one or more events or patterns of events, and have associated actions. When the pattern of events occurs, the monitor is triggered, and actions associated with the monitor can be performed. Various actions can be performed, including but not limited to data gathering about the events triggering the monitor, other events occurring during the same time period, and information about the configuration of the computer. Monitors can be dynamically updated remotely during operation of the computer. An operating system can be programmed to have any number of such monitors. Similarly, the actions that occur when a monitor is triggered also can be dynamically updated.

Abstract: An impact resistant speed sensing object having an inner body with a processor and at least one speed detecting sensors adapted to engage the inner body and adapted to interact with the processor for determining the speed of the impact resistant speed sensing object. The impact resistant speed sensing object further includes an impact resistant housing having apertures adapted to receive the inner body and the speed detecting sensor. The impact resistant speed sensing object has an aperture adapted to receive the impact resistant housing with the inner body and speed detecting sensor.
