  • Publication number: 20230385428
    Abstract: A method for processing a cryptographic operation request includes receiving, at a hardware security module (HSM), the cryptographic operation request including a cryptographic key and at least one authorization token, determining, by the HSM, whether an access control list (ACL) associated with the cryptographic key of the cryptographic operation request is authorized to govern access to the cryptographic key, and validating, by the HSM, the at least one authorization token. When the at least one authorization token is valid and the ACL is authorized to govern access to the cryptographic key of the cryptographic operation request, the method includes processing, by the HSM, the cryptographic operation request.

  • Publication number: 20230364481
    Abstract: A ring toss game apparatus including a ring; a line suspending the ring from a support for manually induced movement of the ring; a housing for mounted disposition a predetermined length away from the ring; a hook mounted to the housing for ring capture through the hook opening; means for providing a control signal responsive to the hook operatively capturing the ring; and means for engaging the ring and moving the ring off the hook wherein games may be played by urging the ring toward the hook with the objective of each iteration being operative engagement of the ring with the hook, resulting in operation of the means for engaging the ring and moving the ring off the hook, thereby allowing another attempt at hook engagement without the player having to approach the hook and manually remove the ring.

  • Patent number: 11790009
    Abstract: A journal of operations persistently stores a collection of user and machine interactions with documents, concepts within documents, and relationships/mentions among such documents and concepts. A knowledge graph or other visual expression can be used to provide an interactive format for user interactions with this information, and to visually display the accumulated information in the journal of operations on user's device of choice. Such accumulations are often called aggregations or aggregates. Both human users and computer users such as automated recommendation engines, machine learning algorithms, and the like can interact with the journal of operations to facilitate computer-assisted discovery and organization of data around a topic of interest to the human user. The resulting journal of operations and aggregations of those operations such as a knowledge graph or other visual expression(s) also provides a useful medium for sharing knowledge with other users and collaborating on investigation of a topic.

  • Publication number: 20230228607
    Abstract: Embodiments of the present disclosure disclose a method and associated device for determining when an air filter needs replaced in an electronic device. The method comprises measuring the power needed to produce a predetermined output in a fan or related device that receives air through the air filter and comparing the measured power to previous measurements. When the amount of power needed is greater than a threshold, a dirty filter message or alert is produced.

  • Publication number: 20230229181
    Abstract: Embodiments of the invention may provide an improved method for pre-heating an electronic device such as an information handling system, when internal temperatures are below safe operating ranges. To do so, the system selectively heats the entire device or select zones of the electronic device for a predetermined amount of time when the system is restarted after a period of time sufficient to bring the system to ambient temperatures. The predetermined amount of time is determined based on measured ambient temperatures. Using a table that corresponds the ambient temperatures to a time that a component needs to heat up to a nominal temperature in a zone, the predetermined time can be calculated.

  • Publication number: 20230229212
    Abstract: An improved method and system for heating and cooling an electronic device, when internal temperatures are below safe operating ranges. To do so, the system selectively heats or cools each zone of the electronic device. This may be done by individual heaters and/or cooling system for each separate zones. Alternatively, or in addition too, the system can selectively open and close baffles, causing fresh ambient air to enter and/or recirculate heated air in a device’s enclosure. This keeps sensitive components of the computing device, such as processors and memory from suffering damage, by operating them at temperatures that are either too cold or too warm.

  • Publication number: 20230039236
    Abstract: Exemplary embodiments described in this disclosure generally pertain to systems and methods to handle packages transported in a delivery vehicle. In an example embodiment, a computer that is provided in a vehicle receives a command related to delivery of a package. The command may be associated, for example, with rerouting of the vehicle due to various reasons such as, for example, due to a change in a delivery schedule and/or a delivery priority. The computer may respond to the command by operating an unmanned package moving apparatus to move the package from one location in a cargo area of the vehicle to another location in the cargo area while the vehicle is in motion and prior to the vehicle reaching a delivery destination for the package. In an example implementation, the unmanned package moving apparatus includes a bed of rollers that are operated by servomotors under control of the computer.

  • Patent number: 11409777
    Abstract: A user interface of an entity-centric knowledge discovery system presents an entity profile including a mix of structured and unstructured data relating to an entity. As a user refines the entity profile based on information gathered from various sources, the changing entity profile can be used as a substantially continuously updating query to search, retrieve, and rank new and pertinent information specifically relevant to the profiled entity. The platform described herein provide an active loop for refining an entity description and searching for additional information in which human input and machine-based algorithms can cooperate to more quickly build a comprehensive description of an entity of interest.
