Patent number: 9626816Abstract: In a method for controlling physical access to a computing device a first access request to a room containing the computing device is received. In response, a processor determines that the first access request is valid based on the room and the date and time of the first access request and unlocks a door to the room to permit entry to the room. Subsequently, a second access request to a cabinet that is located in the room and contains the computing device is received. In response, a processor determines that the second access request is valid based on the cabinet and the date and time of the second access request and unlocks the cabinet to permit access to the computing device.Type: GrantFiled: May 16, 2016Date of Patent: April 18, 2017Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Michael A. Clark, Kenneth T. Gambon, Bret W. Lehman

Patent number: 9258910Abstract: An apparatus for a multi-directional display that includes a first surface situated in an electronic equipment cabinet, wherein the first surface is capable of extending out of at least two sides of the electronic equipment cabinet. A first electronic display is mechanically coupled to a first mount, such that the first electronic display is capable of rotating independently from the first mount. The first mount is coupled to the first surface, such that the first electronic display is viewable when the first surface is separately extended out of the at least two sides.Type: GrantFiled: February 24, 2015Date of Patent: February 9, 2016Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Kenneth T. Gambon, Clayton A. Hollister, Bret W. Lehman
