  • Publication number: 20160260494
    Abstract: An access apparatus for memory card and a control method thereof are provided. The access apparatus is adapted for receiving a memory card with a side having a supply voltage pin and includes a slot module. The slot module includes a slot having a first side and a second side corresponding to each other. The first side and the second side are respectively configured with a first supply voltage pin and a second supply voltage pin, and the first supply voltage pin and the second supply voltage pin are spaced apart and opposite to each other. The access apparatus selectively determines whether to forbid performing a write operation to the memory card according to a conduction status of the first supply voltage pin and the second supply voltage pin with the supply voltage pin caused by a facing direction of the memory card inserted in the slot.

  • Patent number: 8302165
    Abstract: An offline trust system establishes a trust relationship between a trust authority computer system and a target computer system without relying on an active network connection between the computer systems. The offline trust system separates the trust establishment operation into a provisioning phase and a configuration phase. The provisioning phase can be performed entirely on the trust authority, while the configuration phase can be performed entirely on the target computer system requesting trust. The two phases can be performed at different times and do not assume any connection between the two computer systems. An administrator may perform the provisioning phase for many target computer systems at the same time. Thus, the offline trust system provides a way to establish trust between computer systems that is more reliable and less prone to failure.

  • Patent number: 8095970
    Abstract: Dynamically associating an attribute and an associated value to an object includes dynamically associating attribute-value sets to an object, but is not so limited. An exemplary system includes a directory component that can be configured to dynamically assign different values, for a set attributes, to an object. An exemplary directory application can be configured to select an attribute-value set for an object based in part on a group membership determination, and a precedence parameter associated with an attribute-value, set, or other grouping. Other embodiments are available.

    Abstract: An automated dispensing assembly includes a base, and a shuttle mounted in the base and movable under automated control between a loading position and a dispensing position. The shuttle includes a cavity configured to carry an object, such as cover. The depth of the cavity in the shuttle is approximately the same (or less) as the thickness of one of the objects. A storage module is mounted proximate the shuttle. The storage module is configured to store a plurality of objects and includes an opening exposing the next object to be dispensed. The cavity is positioned adjacent the opening in the storage module in the loading position and an edge of the cavity separates the object to be dispensed from the other objects in the storage module as the shuttle moves to the dispensing position.
