Abstract: A system for generating and analyzing alternate project management scenarios at a high level, or a “What If Tool” (WIT) System. The WIT System enhances project management tools by providing simple and reversible scenario generation, analysis, and comparison for complex projects and portfolios. The WIT System imports and transforms the project management information from an external project management tool into collections at a user-defined level while retaining relevant constraints and relationships. The WIT System allows the user to generate and compare alternate constraint and timeline scenarios at a high level without involving all detailed elements of the original project management information, which is often time and cost prohibitive. The differences between scenarios may be visualized and reported to enhance the decision making process. The WIT System also allows the original project management information to be updated based on a scenario.

Abstract: This invention is designed to provide a solution to a problem that exists when considering how to present a gift predominantly to a child. This is a plastic modular frame that is easily erected and fits over an assembled, tested and/or unusual shaped gift. By creating the cubic frame, it becomes easy to attach standard gift wrapping paper to the frame and conceal the gift inside. Rods and connecting spigots have a unique triangular profile and being produced in plastic are reusable to the consumer. Attached drawings show an assembled frame (FIG. 9) together with drawings of each of the main components; corner piece, adaptor and rod profile (FIGS. 1 to 8). See paragraph 0010 for full description of each drawing.

Abstract: An information handling system is provided with a BIOS and a baseboard management controller. The baseboard management controller is provided with non-standard functionality that enables the BIOS to request sensor data records of a specific type. Thus the BIOS can ask for specific kinds of sensor data, such as those for memory sensors only.

Abstract: A projectile intended to be incorporated in a cartridge for firing from a shotgun, for use by police forces and other law enforcement agencies as a means of rapidly breaking a lock or bolt holding a door closed, comprises a cylindrical low-strength casing, for example of paper, filled with a dense non-toxic finely divided material such as tungsten powder. An advantage of the projectile disclosed, as compared to conventional shotgun projectiles, is that whilst the projectile will retain its integrity until it strikes the target and thus will effectively blast a hole through a lock or bolt or through the portion of the door carrying such, the impact of the projectile with the target will fragment the paper casing allowing the tungsten powder to disperse rapidly so that after the powder has passed through the door against which the projectile is fired the powder will lose momentum within a very short distance due to atmospheric drag on the fine tungsten particles.

Abstract: A computer having a peripheral device emulator capable of emulating peripheral devices, thereby allowing a mouse to be physically connected to the computer system and function normally despite not being initialized at the time of system startup or reset. The peripheral device emulator, implemented in the computer system's keyboard controller, operates in conjunction with a password lock mode and also operates at the time of system startup or reset. The peripheral device emulator accepts commands, status requests, and other control signals directed from the CPU and responds appropriately. Initialization commands sent from the CPU are stored for transfer to the emulated peripheral device when the device is physically connected to the computer system.

Abstract: A closure arrangement comprises an aperture-defining frame, a closure panel member which fits removeably into the frame, and a radio-frequency seal between the frame and an edge of the panel member. The seal is divided into two complementary parts attached respectively to the panel member and to the frame, the parts extending over different sections of the periphery of the aperture and cooperating to cover the entire periphery only when the panel member is closed. To improve the seal, a sharp ridge is formed in the edge of the panel member to enhance the contact pressure exerted on the seal locally on a line extending along the seal.

Abstract: An ice breaker arrangement of forcing open the door of an enclosure such as a radio frequency shelter for electrical equipment comprises a threaded stud (3) which, when turned by a key, is made to project from the door frame (5) so as to force a reaction plate (2) attached to the door (1) away from the frame, thus opening the door (1). Appropriate apertures (21, 73) are provided at each end of the stud (3) to allow access to the stud (3) by the key.
