Patent number: 9471815Abstract: The illustrative embodiments provide a magnetic reader assembly, a magnetic reader subassembly, a computer implemented method, and a computer program product for diagnosing a magnetic reader subassembly. A processor generates a test signal during a diagnostic period. The processor then receives a return signal from the magnetic reader subassembly. The processor then compares the test signal and the return signal and diagnoses an operational status of the magnetic reader subassembly in response to the comparison of the test signal and the return signal.Type: GrantFiled: March 4, 2015Date of Patent: October 18, 2016Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Robert Thomas Cato, Phuc Ky Do, Justin Monroe Pierce

Patent number: 9086894Abstract: A system for automatically determining a configuration of an I/O connector panel is disclosed. The system provides information about the capabilities of the connector card to a memory within the connector card, examining the information in the memory. The system further downloads at least one driver to a system coupled to the I/O connector panel based upon the examined information. The I/O capabilities of a platform (as determined by an I/O panel or other hardware that contains some identification mechanism that defines the I/O capabilities) is within the connector card. This mechanism is then used to determine what software to “preload” into a system so that as new I/O devices are added in the field, the required software for these devices has already been preloaded.Type: GrantFiled: June 3, 2008Date of Patent: July 21, 2015Assignee: Toshiba Global Commerce Solutions Holdings CorporationInventors: Phuc Ky Do, John David Landers, Jr.

Patent number: 8429015Abstract: The illustrative embodiments provide a computer implemented method, an apparatus, and a computer usable program product for varying the amount of received advertising content. A content editor provides a portion of a plurality of levels of advertising to a user, wherein the portion of the plurality of levels indicates an amount of advertising content to be received by the user. Responsive to receiving a user input selecting the portion of the plurality of levels, the content editor inserts the amount of advertising content into a media content to form a modified media content, wherein the amount of advertising content corresponds to the portion of the plurality of levels selected by the user. The content editor then transmits the modified media content to the user.Type: GrantFiled: November 30, 2006Date of Patent: April 23, 2013Assignee: Toshiba Global Commerce Solutions Holdings CorporationInventors: Phuc Ky Do, Justin Monroe Pierce
