  • Publication number: 20160042582
    Abstract: A lock, such as a padlock or a door lock, having radio frequency identification (RFID) and/or Bluetooth capabilities is disclosed. The control system in the lock may obtain identifying information from a user device presented close to the lock, and operates an actuator to unlock the lock based on the identifying information. The lock may include both an RFID reader and a Bluetooth system in a single device, and may automatically lock and unlock the lock by detecting a presence or an absence of a user device near the lock. At least a portion of a front face of the lock may be made of non-metallic material. The lock may include an indicator for indicating a power-on state, a Bluetooth connection status, a locked or unlocked status, and/or a low-battery state.

  • Patent number: 9201606
    Abstract: A method includes receiving a migration request to migrate a source data set stored at a source endpoint and having a first data format. The migration request includes a source identifier indicative of the source endpoint having a first architecture type and a destination identifier indicative of a destination endpoint having a second architecture type. The method also includes determining whether a data translation is required by comparing the first architecture type with the second architecture type. The method further includes determining a first particular transform mechanism from a plurality of transform mechanisms based on the second architecture type. The method additionally includes translating the first data format of the source data set into a second data format corresponding to the second architecture type using the first particular transform mechanism and storing the translated source data set at the destination endpoint.

  • Patent number: 8602510
    Abstract: An attachment system for attaching a household appliance to a cabinet. The system includes a base having a main body for attaching to the cabinet, front and rear lugs that project substantially horizontally from and are elevated relative to a support area of the cabinet, and a rail catch projecting from the positioning base; and a rail adapted to be attached to a side of the appliance. The rail has a lip that engages the rail catch and limits movement of the rail in a vertical direction, a rear engagement area that engages the rear lug in the installed position, and a front engagement area that engages the front lug in an installing position and in the installed position. The front engagement area has a notch in which the front lug rests in the installed position, and a ramp sloping downward from the notch toward the rear engagement area.

  • Publication number: 20120146474
    Abstract: A positioning base for locating a household appliance in a cabinet is provided. The base has a main body for attaching to a support area of the cabinet; an elevated section attached to the main body, an upper surface of the elevated section being located above the main body; and a plurality of adjustable levelers attached to the upper surface. Each adjustable leveler has a head for supporting the household appliance, and an adjustment portion fixed to the head and movable relative to the upper surface of the elevated section such that movement of the adjustment portion moves the head vertically relative to the upper surface of the elevated section. The head of each of the adjustable levelers provides a resting point for a support point on the household appliance, and each adjustable leveler is adjustable independently of each of the other adjustable levelers.

  • Patent number: 7376831
    Abstract: An apparatus, system, and method are directed towards parsing and selectively encrypting different portions of data in real-time, decrypting the encrypted data in real-time, and passing the data to a media player on a client computer or other network capable device. Data in a network packet may be parsed into payload and non-payload portions. The payload portion of the packet data may then be examined to determine whether a predefined type of the data is recognized. For example, in one embodiment, the predefined data type may be media content. If the payload portion is recognized as a predefined data type, then it may be selectively encrypted. The selectively encrypted payload portion and non-payload portion of the packet may then be combined, such that the non-payload portion may be employed by firewalls, proxies, and/or NATs to route the packet towards the client computer or other network capable device.

  • Patent number: 7165175
    Abstract: An apparatus and method for selectively encrypting portions of data sent over a network between a server and a client. The apparatus includes parsing means for separating a first portion of the data from a second portion of the data, encrypting means for encrypting only of the first portion of the data, and combining means for combining the encrypted first portion of the data with the second portion of the data, wherein the second portion of the data is not encrypted. The apparatus further includes decrypting means installed at the client for decrypting the encrypted portion of the data. The apparatus is platform independent in terms of media format and data protocol. The encryption unit encrypts data transparently to the client based on the media format. The apparatus of the invention is implemented as one of an application and a plug-in object.

  • Patent number: 5819061
    Abstract: In a partitioned process environment, storage is reassigned by a shuffle of guest absolute address spaces which may be reassigned among partitions without restriction as to the position of the space to be reassigned relative to the position of the partition to which it is to be assigned. The reassignment is accomplished by adjusting the origin addresses by an adjustment value corresponding to the size of the address space of an additional memory area to be added to a selected partition. Furthermore, the size of the address space of the selected partition is increased by the same adjustment value. The system employs duplicated origin and limit arrays which are used to convert from a partition (guest) absolute address to a system (host) absolute address and uses duplicated configuration arrays by which the system absolute addresses are converted to physical memory addresses.

  • Patent number: 3964054
    Abstract: A response priority circuit arrangement for determining the priority among simultaneous responses from different access-time levels L3 and L2 in a storage hierarchy to maintain nearly the same order among the simultaneous responses as the order of their storage access requests.The storage requests were put into an indexed slot in a hardware queue. The index of the assigned queue slot is sent to a basic storage module (BSM) part of the hierarchy which is selected by the storage address supplied by the processor making the storage request. The selected BSM will have the requested data either in its main memory part (L3) or in its high-speed buffer part (L2).The priority circuit arrangement has a separate group of AND gates for each hierarchy level L3 and L2. The groups are interlocked by a circuit which disables the L2 group if any AND gate is enabled in the L3 group. Only one AND gate can be enabled in both L3 and L2 groups.
