Abstract: A server rack sub-assembly includes at least one motherboard having a perimeter; a plurality of heat-generating electronic devices mounted on the motherboard in an area of the motherboard thermally decoupled from the motherboard perimeter; one or more brackets including heat transfer surfaces and attached to the motherboard along at least a portion of the motherboard perimeter; and a heat transfer device thermally coupled to the area of the motherboard that is thermally decoupled from the motherboard perimeter and the one or more brackets. The one or more brackets are adapted to receive a cooling airflow circulated over the bracket and to convectively transfer heat into the cooling airflow and are further adapted to couple the motherboard to a server rack assembly. The heat transfer device is arranged to conductively transfer heat from the one or more electronic devices to the brackets.

Abstract: A computer component mounting assembly includes a carrier to support a hard drive and a data connector. The carrier is configured to slidably receive the hard drive along a first axis. The data connector includes a first connector configured to mate to pins of the hard drive, a second connector configured to mate to a SATA data connector, and a flexible cable connecting the two. The first connector includes an alignment feature to engage a corresponding alignment feature on the hard drive. The first connector is coupled to the carrier and slidable in a plane perpendicular to the first axis, and the first connector is configured such that when carrier receives the hard drive and the alignment feature engages the corresponding alignment feature the first connector moves in the plane perpendicular to the first axis to provide alignment of the first connector to the pins of the hard drive.

Abstract: A system and method is provided for initiating batch processing on a computer system from a terminal. The method generates a message from the terminal, where the message defines a transaction to be performed on a computer system. The transaction schedules and runs a program that extracts data from the message. The message is then transmitted to the computer system. The data is then used to generate batch job control language and a batch job is run on the computer system. The output of the batch job is then routed back to the terminal.

Abstract: A stable anaesthetic composition is described which is particularly suitable for use in cats and dogs. The composition comprises an aqueous solution of an anaesthetically effective amount of water soluble cyclodextrin or a cyclodextrin derivative complex of alfaxalone and a bugger, excluding phosphate buffer pH 7.0, 0.1 M mixed as defined in the British Pharmadopoeia 1998, such that the pH of the solution is from 6.0-8.0.

Abstract: A method and system for autonomic Information Management System (IMS) mainframe database pointer error diagnostic data extraction. A receiving module may receive a database name and an error detection time. An error detection module may locate database pointer errors on the failed IMS database. A list module may generate an Image Copy (IC) list corresponding to the failed database. A code generation module may generate Job Control Language (JCL) code for the selected entries in the IC list. An execution module executes the JCL code which operates a pointer checker utility on each clean IC. A log list module locates log data sets recorded in the time between the error and when the error was detected and an extraction module extracts an evaluation log list which comprises evaluation log data sets.

Abstract: A secure donation system is connectible to information processing device of donor, donee, and specific store via network. The system includes: a database for storing donation intention data of donor, requirement data of donee, and merchandise and/or service transaction data of specific store; a resource allocation module for generating donee data meeting donation intention data by analyzing and matching donation intention data with requirement data; a donation module for donor to choose donee from donee data meeting donation intention data generated by resource allocation module and for generating donation usage certificate after confirming donation data including donation intention data and donee data; and an authorization module for transmitting donation usage certificate to electronic device of chosen donee, so as for donee to perform verification and shopping in specific store via electronic device. Besides, a secure donation method having mechanisms of requirement matching and postpaid is also provided.

Abstract: An apparatus, system, and method are disclosed for modular distribution and maintenance of non-“object code only” (OCO) dynamic components. OCO components comprise compiled executable modules. Non-OCO components comprise user readable and/or editable components. The modular distribution of non-OCO components comprises updating a skeleton data set comprising text and component fields such that user customizations and developer customizations are preserved. The modular distribution further allows for the generation of an output data in response to a reportable operational event, wherein the output data set is based on the skeleton data set and user customizations and developer customizations stored in customization data sets.

Abstract: The present invention is directed to the quantitative measurement of the autonomic capabilities of computing systems. A method in accordance with an embodiment of the present invention includes: subjecting the computing system to a workload; injecting a disturbance into the computing system; providing a notification that the computing system has detected a problem in response to the injected disturbance; determining an amount of time required to initiate a recovery procedure to address the detected problem; and determining an amount of time required to execute the recovery procedure.

Abstract: A pin tumbler lock, operating between a locked position and a released position, comprising a first lock member having at least one first bore with a biasing device and a first pin deposing in the first bore, and a second lock member engaging with the first lock member, forming an interface surface with said first lock member. The second lock member has at least one second bore with a second pin disposed in the second bore, and is aligned with the first bore for receiving the first pin in the locked position. At least one pin is magnetized, and the corresponding second pin is magnetic permeable, such that, when the pins are mobilized by an external force, the magnetized pin remains attracted to the corresponding magnetic permeable pin. No open space between the pins is formed at the interface surface to release the lock members.

For example, a method for configuring and running multiple benchmarks includes the following steps. A multiple benchmark specification is obtained. The multiple benchmark specification includes multiple individual benchmark specifications and a multiple benchmark workflow describing an ordering according to which the multiple individual benchmarks are to be configured and run. The multiple benchmarks are configured and run according to the ordering identified in the multiple benchmark workflow. Results of the multiple benchmark runs are recorded. One or more specifications or results associated with at least one of the multiple benchmarks are utilized as part of a benchmark specification for at least another of the multiple benchmarks so as to provide consistency between at least the one and the other of the multiple benchmarks.
