Abstract: A BMC firmware security system includes a BMC coupled to a programmable circuit device and a first storage subsystem. In response to BMC initialization, the BMC uses a system identifier to verify that a license in the first storage subsystem authorizes the BMC to use BMC firmware in the BMC, uses branding identity information in the BMC to verify that the BMC is branded for the BMC firmware, determines that the programmable circuit device identifies the BMC firmware and, in response, the performs BMC initialization operations using the BMC firmware. A BIOS is coupled to the programmable circuit device and a second storage system. In response to BIOS initialization, the BIOS uses the branding identity information in the second storage subsystem to identify the BMC firmware, determines that the programmable circuit device identifies the BMC firmware and, in response, performs BIOS initialization operations.

Abstract: A PV design system determines installation plans for installing PV panels on roofs according to design objectives. The PV design system determines installation plans by optimizing associated costs and output energy production while satisfying constraints. In one implementation, the PV design system determines a number of PV panels and a number of PV optimization modules that can be used together to output at least a desired energy output. The PV design system further determines positioning of the PV panels on roof faces of the roof, groupings of the PV panels, assignment of the PV panels to PV strings, and connection of the PV strings to the PV optimization modules.

Abstract: A categorization service is described that automatically categorizes items of interest to a user. The user may possess an item that they wish to offer for sale using the network-based service. The user may prepare an electronic description of the item and submit this item information to a categorization service for categorization. Upon receipt, the categorization service may compare the item information to item category descriptions representing item categories of the network-based server in order to determine category recommendations for the item of interest. The recommended categories are returned to the user to enable the user to assign a category, selected from the category recommendations, to the item of interest.
