Abstract: Apparatus comprising: a sleeve adapted to be slid over the exterior of an endoscope; a proximal balloon secured to the sleeve; an inflation/deflation tube carried by the sleeve and in fluid communication with the interior of the proximal balloon; a push tube slidably mounted to the sleeve; and a distal balloon secured to the distal end of the push tube, the interior of the distal balloon being in fluid communication with the push tube, wherein the distal balloon is capable of assuming a deflated condition and an inflated condition, and further wherein when the distal balloon is in its deflated condition, an axial opening extends therethrough, the axial opening being sized to receive the endoscope therein, and when the distal balloon is in its inflated condition, the axial opening is closed down.

Abstract: Examples described herein relate to signing of files based on file security credentials. A signing request for a file is received from a file author device. The signing request may include a file identifier associated with the file and a first key identifier associated with a first key stored in a hardware security module (HSM). File security credentials associated with the file may be obtained from one or more file security databases using the file identifier. A file security value for the file may be determined based on the file security credentials. On determining that the file security value satisfies a predetermined first key criteria, the file may be signed using the first key.

Abstract: A system comprises a processor and a graphical user interface (GUI) executable by the processor. The GUI enables a user to specify constituent virtual connect domains (VCD) for a common VCD group. Each VCD comprises two or more computing devices virtualized by a virtual connect device. The virtual connect device comprises multiple ports for communicatively coupling the two or more computing devices to external networks. For all of the constituent VCDs of a particular VCD group, each corresponding port of a corresponding virtual connect device is connected to the same external.

Abstract: Embodiments of the invention may include a support structure which may contain a plurality of electrical components. A remote device may receive system data from at least one component in the support structure, which may comprise a rack. The remote device may process the system data to determine the physical arrangement of the electrical components within the support structure. Such physical arrangement information may be presented on a display at the remote device.

Abstract: A computer system and new method of generating peripheral device configurations in a computer system having multiple types of system resources is disclosed. The method defines a resource priority list for the system resources and configures a device a resource type at a time based on the resource type priority list. The resource priority list is a function of the number of resource items for each system resource and the available resources in the computer system. The method thus serves to minimize the number of testing or checking iterations in configuring a device, whereby significant improving device configuring and conflict resolution in a computer system.

Abstract: A method for configuring devices in a computer system using pattern matching is disclosed. The method constructs the initial configuration pattern by retrieving and storing a working device configuration in the configuration pattern. For each resource item of a supported resource type of a device, the method generates a resource combination matching a configuration pattern, which is updated after each testing iteration, to check in a deterministic order for a configuration conflict until a non-conflicting resource is found. If a conflicting resource is found, the method has the option of moving the conflicting resource to a non-conflicting resource. The process recursively repeats itself for each supported resource type of a device to produce a device configuration matching the configuration pattern. Each next potential device configuration is deterministically generated using a configuration index and the configuration pattern.

Abstract: The present invention resolves conflicts in the computer system with one or more devices and one or more system resources and where each of the devices has an existing configuration and one or more acceptable configurations. The devices are represented as one or more objects corresponding to each of the devices. Each object has a move procedure and a fit procedure. The move procedure requests objects representative of other devices to move from their existing configurations, while the fit procedure attempts to fit an acceptable configuration of the object into the system resources. The objects are linked together using a tree structure. When a new or unconfigured device is to be added to the system, the apparatus provides a new or unconfigured object representative of the new or unconfigured device.

Abstract: An apparatus and a method resolve conflicts arising from the addition of a new or unconfigured device to a computer system having one or more system resources. The computer system has one or more existing devices, wherein each of existing devices has an existing configuration. Additionally, each of existing or new/unconfigured devices has one or more acceptable configurations. The apparatus resolves conflict by attempting to fit the new/unconfigured device into the system resources and if a non-conflicting configuration is available from the acceptable configurations for the new/unconfigured device, setting the configuration of the new/unconfigured device to the non-conflicting configuration. However, in the event that a non-conflicting configuration cannot be located, the apparatus requests one of the existing devices to select another configuration from its acceptable configurations until a non-conflicting configuration is available for the first device.
