Patent number: 8959322Abstract: Images for information handling system manufacture and maintenance are created and managed by manipulating the images as virtual machines through a secure remote network interface, such as a virtual private network or virtual desktop infrastructure. Operating system and application installation and updates, such as service packs and patches, are performed on a virtual machine of the image to adjust the image as desired, and then the image is transformed for loading on physical information handling systems, such as newly manufactured information handling systems or deployed information handling systems in need of maintenance.Type: GrantFiled: September 24, 2013Date of Patent: February 17, 2015Assignee: Dell Products L.P.Inventors: John Mullin, Campbell McNeill, Christopher Speers, Dana Ragsdill, John Tracey, Lawrence Smithmier

Patent number: 8350677Abstract: A system includes an ordering module, an asset tagging module, a database, and a manufacturer server. The ordering module is configured to receive an order for a component from a web browser. The asset tagging module is configured to receive information for an asset tag from the web browser, and to receive a selection of a location on the component to place the asset tag. The database is configured to store the order for the component, the information for the asset tag, and the location of the asset tag on the component. The manufacturer server is configured to retrieve the order for the component, the information for the asset tag, and the location of the asset tag on the component, and to direct printing of the information on the asset tag and placement of the asset tag at the location on the component prior to placing the component in packaging for the component.Type: GrantFiled: October 12, 2009Date of Patent: January 8, 2013Assignee: Dell Products, LPInventors: John Mullin, David J. Trotter, John Herrick, Reza Koohrangpour, Stuart Ross Hobbie

Publication number: 20110126193Abstract: A method includes emulating an information handling system on a virtual machine, allowing users to create and validate an operating environment on the emulation, creating an image based on the validated environment, and loading the image onto an information handling system. The environment includes an operating system and an application from the virtual machine module, and an application from the user. A disk imaging system includes a virtual machine that emulates an information handling system, and a session manager that establishes a session between an interface and the virtual machine. The virtual machine allows users to create an operating environment including an operating system and an application from the virtual machine and an application from the users, and to validate the environment, captures an image of the environment, and loads the image onto an information handling system.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 20, 2009Publication date: May 26, 2011Applicant: DELL PRODUCTS, LPInventors: John Mullin, Amer Chowdhry, Campbell McNeill, Christopher Speers, Dana Ragsdill, Lawrence Smithmier

Publication number: 20090240548Abstract: A system and method for generating a configurable workflow for application packaging jobs are disclosed. A method may include receiving input from a user interface by a packaging application configured to manage an application packaging job. The method may also include creating a plurality of workflow states based on at least the received input, each workflow state associated with a particular step in the application packaging job. The method may further include associating at least one action with at least one workflow state based on at least the received input, each action defining a transition from its associated workflow state to a target workflow state. Additionally, the method may include associating an assignee type with at least one action based on at least the received input, the assignee type defining at least one assignee that may assigned to the application packaging job for the particular action.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 21, 2008Publication date: September 24, 2009Applicant: DELL PRODUCTS L.P.Inventors: John Mullin, Thomas Elliot, Damian Dwyer, Ian Porter, Nilakantha Ratha, Iain Glennie, Gordon Davey

Publication number: 20060229330Abstract: Novel intermediate compounds are disclosed. These compounds are useful in the synthesis of 4-aminopyrimidine-5-one derivatives that inhibit cyclin-dependent kinases, in particular cyclin-dependent kinase 4 (Cdk4). The 4-aminopyrimidine-5-one derivatives and their pharmaceutically acceptable salts have antiproliferative activity and are useful in the treatment or control of cancer, in particular solid tumors.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 20, 2006Publication date: October 12, 2006Inventors: David Bartkovitz, Xin Chu, Qingjie Ding, Nan Jiang, Allen Lovey, John Moliterni, John Mullin, Binh Vu, Peter Wovkulich
