  • Patent number: 11574080
    Abstract: Systems and procedures are provided for transferring a service identifier for use by an IHS (Information Handling System), where technical support is provided to the IHS based on the service identifier. During factory provisioning of the IHS, a signed inventory certificate is uploaded to the IHS that includes an inventory identifying factory installed components of the IHS. Upon deployment of the IHS, a hardware component is removed, where the service identifier of the IHS is associated to the removed component. Upon installing a replacement hardware component, a request is initiated to transfer the association of the service identifier from the removed hardware component to the replacement hardware component.

  • Publication number: 20230025053
    Abstract: In general, embodiments of the invention relate to implementing a secure boot process in information handling systems that supports both an external root of trust (eRoT) and an internal root of trust (RoT). Further, embodiments of the invention relate to binding a management controller to a specific chassis and, in the case where the eRoT is used, to an eRoT. When the management controller and the chassis are provisioned according to one or more embodiments of the invention, security checks may be performed by management controller executing an initial program loader (IPL) using the aforementioned bindings. If the bindings are not present or do not match, then the boot process halts and the user is unable to use the information handling system.

  • Patent number: 11514193
    Abstract: Embodiments validate the secure assembly and delivery of IHSs (Information Handling Systems) that are installed in a shared chassis, such as two 1RU (rack unit) servers installed in a shared 2RU chassis. An inventory certificate is retrieved that was uploaded to a first IHS of the IHSs installed in the shared chassis during factory provisioning of the first IHS. The inventory certificate specifies factory installed hardware components installed in each of the IHSs of the shared chassis. A validation process of the first IHS collects an inventory of hardware components detected by each of the IHSs of the shared chassis. The validation process compares the collected inventory of detected hardware components of the IHSs against the factory installed hardware components specified in the inventory certificate in order to validate the detected hardware components as the same hardware components installed during factory assembly of each of the IHSs.

  • Patent number: 11507204
    Abstract: Systems and methods for interacting with virtual objects in a three-dimensional space using a wearable system are disclosed. The wearable system can be programmed to permit user interaction with interactable objects in a field of regard (FOR) of a user. The FOR includes a portion of the environment around the user that is capable of being perceived by the user via the AR system. The system can determine a group of interactable objects in the FOR of the user and determine a pose of the user. The system can update, based on a change in the pose or a field of view (FOV) of the user, a subgroup of the interactable objects that are located in the FOV of the user and receive a selection of a target interactable object from the subgroup of interactable objects. The system can initiate a selection event on the target interactable object.

  • Patent number: 11496454
    Abstract: An information handling system for providing comprehensive remote authorized access to multiple equipment in a datacenter. A mobile device security credential is first authenticated before access information is configured in the mobile device using a short-range wireless interface. The configured access information is mapped to the equipment and the corresponding access token and encryption keys from the equipment are received by the mobile device. The mobile device uses the access token and the encryption keys to simultaneously access the equipment through a long-range wireless interface. The simultaneous access includes parallel accessing of the equipment at a next accessing instance without requiring re-authentication. With the accessed equipment, the mobile device manages the accessed equipment based on the configured access information.

  • Patent number: 11468200
    Abstract: An information handling system includes a baseboard management controller and a media controller. The baseboard management controller includes a memory, and an immutable attribute of the baseboard management controller is fused in the memory during a factory process of the information handling system. The baseboard management controller generates a first seed value based on the immutable attribute, generates a first key value based on the first seed value, and provides the first key value. The media controller includes a secure memory and a processor. The processor receives the first key value from the baseboard management controller, and stores, during the factory process, the first key value in the secure memory. The first key value cryptographically links the secure memory to the baseboard management controller.

  • Patent number: 11463375
    Abstract: An online software platform (OSP) classifies challenges to digital rules into buckets according to respective challenged digital rules that were applied to produce respective challenged resources. The OSP computes respective statistics for the buckets. Each bucket may have a corresponding statistic associated with the bucket based on a current total number of challenges that have been classified into that bucket. The OSP ranks the buckets according to the respective statistics of the buckets. The OSP may correct, based on the ranking of the buckets, the respective challenged stored digital rule of the selected bucket without yet correcting the respective challenged digital rule of at least one of the other buckets. This correction is stored and included in digital rules to be used to produce resources going forward.

  • Publication number: 20220296152
    Abstract: A wearable medical device for detecting and treating life-threatening arrhythmias includes a wearable vest portion, sensing electrodes, therapy pads, at least one motion sensor, and a cardiac monitor. The cardiac monitor is configured to detect whether the patient is experiencing a treatable arrhythmia using an ECG signal and in response, determine a confidence level for the detected treatable arrhythmia using outputs from the at least one motion sensor. Determining the confidence level includes detecting patient motion prior to the detection of the treatable arrhythmia. Determining the confidence level further includes increasing the confidence level in response to determining that the patient is motionless coinciding with the detection of the treatable arrhythmia, or decreasing the confidence level in response to determining the patient motion after the detection of the treatable arrhythmia. The cardiac monitor is configured to determine whether to deliver a treatment shock based on the confidence level.
