Abstract: A method, apparatus, and system are disclosed. In one embodiment the method comprises determining whether a feature on a device is permitted to be enabled, determining whether a total number of enabled features on the device is less than or equal to a maximum number of allowable features on the device, and allowing the enabling of the device feature if the device feature is permitted to be enabled and the total number of enabled features on the device is less than or equal to the maximum number of allowable features on the device.

Abstract: A device and system are disclosed. In one embodiment, the device includes a register to store a universal serial bus (USB) port disable bit for an individual USB port. The device also includes a USB individual port disable unit that is capable of reading the USB port disable bit and disabling the individual USB port when the bit is set.

Abstract: A thermoplastic bakeware article (i.e., an article formed to hold, contain or support food, while being heated in a microwave, conventional oven, convection oven, or the like) that is food-grade and resistant to dripping, stringing, and melting at high temperatures. The article has a composition comprising a partially crystalline polyester resin and a phenoxy resin. The composition is formulated so as to allow cross-linking between the polyester resin and the phenoxy resin at temperatures above about 400° F.

Abstract: A magnetron sputtering cathode (21) having a simplified design provides excellent target (56) utilization. The magnet design contains three or four magnet sets (50, 52, 54). These magnets (50, 5254) are behind a heat shield capable of removing about 500 watts per square unit, such as inches. All the magnet sets (50, 52, 54) have magnetic orientations substantially perpendicular to the magnet base plate. The magnetic orientation of the center magnet (50) is north up; the second magnet array is south up (52); the third magnet set is south up (54); and the fourth magnet set, it used, is north up. The magnet arrays are easier to assemble and repair and produce a target utilization of at least 30 percent and preferably 40 percent or higher.
