Abstract: A method for securing a plurality of compute nodes includes authenticating a hardware architecture of each of a plurality of components of the compute nodes. The method also includes authenticating a firmware of each of the plurality of components. Further, the method includes generating an authentication database comprising a plurality of authentication descriptions that are based on the authenticated hardware architecture and the authenticated firmware. Additionally, a policy for securing a specified subset of the plurality of compute nodes is implemented by using the authentication database.

Abstract: An example system includes a communication channel and at least one tuning structure coupled to the communication channel. The tuning structure includes a branch of the communication channel. The tuning structure is to dissipate energy from the communication channel at least at one selected wavelength. The branch of the communication channel is a terminated portion.

Abstract: Methods and apparatuses are disclosed for allocating a bus in a computer system. In one embodiment, an apparatus comprises: a bus divided into at least two segments, a first segment of the bus routed to a first device, a second segment of the bus routed to an adapter capable of further dividing the second segment into multiple sub-segments, where the adapter routes the multiple sub-segments between the first device and a second device.

Abstract: A fan controller is described herein that can be connected to other fan controllers to provide fault information from one controller to the other(s). The fan controllers each control one or more fans. The controllers include signal(s) connected between the controllers that transmit fault information from one fan controller to the other(s) without the involvement of the host processor. Further, the controllers are capable of performing a “free wheeling” test in which idle fans are spun and tested.

Abstract: A bun marking machine is disclosed in which a formed heating member is brought into contact with a baked bun for marking the top of the baked bun with a distinctive pattern. The heated member in the disclosed bun marking machine is an electrically heated element supported in a detachable head. The heating element is formed into a selected shape and sheet metal bun branding patterns are attached thereto. During operation the element gets very hot and also heats the marking pattern hot enough to mark a baked bun when brought in contact therewith. Various detachable heads are provided having different marking patterns formed thereon. A bun holding slide is provided for holding and positioning the bun beneath the heated pattern. The detachable heating element head is attached to a support arm assembly which extends from the vertical portion of a support frame.

Abstract: Convertible footwear in accord with one's wearing apparel and accessories can be attached and interchanged to beautify and harmonize in a complimenting fashion the entire color scheme of one's appearance. The convertible footwear comprises sectioned expansible shoe veneers or shells to fit all common shoe sizes and shapes. The veneers may be made of resilient plastic for attachment and may have rib and/or welt springs for additional attachment security. The sectioned veneer may have any color scheme, texture, raised pattern or engraved surfaces. Patterned edges, such as serrated, or embroidery may enhance the veneers.
