Abstract: A mechanism is provided for performing an action on a second computer device. An information receiving unit in a first computer device receives a first message from a security management device, wherein the security management device performs a security analysis. A management program module in the first computer device determines a first action and a first trigger condition according to the security analysis. The management program module sends the first action through a second message to the second computer device via a network instructing the second computer device to perform the first action in response to the first trigger condition being met.

Abstract: A mechanism is provided for executing an action selected by a security management device identified from an available-action list provided by the computer device. A management program module in the computer device identifies a set of actions capable of being performed on the computer device based on a state of the computer device. The management program module stores the available-action list indicative of at least one action the management program module is allowed to execute on the computer device. The management program module sends the available-action list to the security management device for a security analysis to be performed such that an action is selected from the available-action list to be executed on the computer device. Responsive to receiving the selected action from the security management device, the management program module executes the selected action on the computer device.

Abstract: A ball bat includes one or more low-durability regions fortified by one or more reinforcing elements. If the reinforcing element is altered or removed, the durability of the ball bat is significantly reduced. For example, if the ball bat is subjected to internal shaving or external rolling in an attempt to increase the bat's performance, the reinforcing element would de removed or damaged such that the durability of the bat is reduced to the point that the ball bat's performance remains below a specified limit.

Abstract: A ball bat includes a transparent or translucent cap attached to a bat barrel. One or more security labels are bonded or otherwise attached to the cap and the barrel such that removal of the cap damages or destroys the one or more security labels, providing an indication that the cap has been removed and that tampering with the interior of the bat may have occurred.

Abstract: A composite ball bat includes multiple failure planes within a barrel wall. By including multiple failure planes in a barrel wall, the bat exhibits a drop in performance when subjected to rolling or other extreme deflection, with no temporary increase in barrel performance. Because the barrel performance does not increase, the ball bat is able to comply with performance limitations imposed by regulatory associations.
