  • Patent number: 8904228
    Abstract: In accordance with embodiments of the present disclosure, a method may comprise identifying one or more portions of the memory having defects. The method may also include storing one or more addresses in the memory defect list, each of the one or more addresses associated with a portion of the one or more identified portions. The method may further include indicating to components of an information handling system that the one or more identified portions are unusable such that the other components are prevented from allocating and using the one or more identified portions.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 7111389
    Abstract: An apparatus for attaching a clamp to a hose assembly, preferably automatic or semi-automatic, incorporates precisely located mounting devices for receiving clamp tooling, cooperating hose guiding and positioning tooling which can support a unique hose assembly and locate a predetermined location on such hose assembly properly aligned with a clamp in the clamp tooling. An operator only needs to load a clamp and a hose assembly into tooling, then initiate an automatic cycle which scrubs a small area on the hose, places a predetermined quantity (e.g. drop) of adhesive on that area, then brings the clamp into position and presses the clamp, adhesive, and hose together holding that position for a period sufficient to allow the adhesive to set. The operator then removes the finished part (the hose with attached clamp) and loads another clamp and hose into the tooling.

  • Patent number: 6842867
    Abstract: A method is provided for identifying in a computer system physical memory modules having failing or defective addresses. The transparent error correction function of the computer system is disabled and system memory is tested. If an error is detected, a coded data value that indicative of a single-bit error is written to the failing or defective memory address. The failing or defective memory address is read in and the incorrect data value in the memory address is detected. The address of the failing of defective memory address is recorded and mapped or correlated to a physical memory module.

  • Patent number: 6245284
    Abstract: A device for fabricating a tank head prior to attachment to a tank. A movable turntable of the invention holds the tank head horizontally on its rotatable top surface. The movable turntable travels on rails so that is can move the tank head under an overhead frame of the invention. The overhead frame is provided with frame rails on which a movable burner and a movable attachment holder independently travel so that they can be accurately positioned over the head. The movable burner can be lowered and raised in order to cut holes in the head at desired locations on the head. The movable attachment holder and an attachment that is removably secured to the attachment holder can also be lowered and raised in order to properly position the attachment relative to a hole in the head so that the attachment can be tack welded to the head.

  • Patent number: 4245834
    Abstract: A print receiving tray is provided for receiving and stacking in register prints of various predetermined lengths issuing from a copying machine. The tray comprises a fixed support secured to the copying machine and a movable support pivotally mounted on the fixed support. The movable support is positionable among a first, an intermediate and an extended position for conditioning the tray for receiving prints of uniform predetermined lengths at each of the positions differing from the uniform predetermined length of the prints at each of the other positions. Releasable retaining means is provided for holding the movable support in the extended position and for releasing the movable support for movement to either the intermediate or the first position. The movable support also includes register means for aligning a lead end of each print received by the receiving tray.
