  • Publication number: 20200288947
    Abstract: A reprogrammable modular imaging device includes a control module and at least one input module, each having processors and a camera connectable to the at least one input module. A program is received by the control module as inputted software to reprogram both the processors. A compatibility check compares a current software/hardware of the control module with the inputted software to determine if the inputted software will be compatible and allows the user to initiate a command despite the result.

  • Publication number: 20070046791
    Abstract: A method and system for efficiently deploying (also sometimes referred to as distributing and/or installing) a computer device's software image using a single portable image using an alternate partition for loading the image on the storage (hard drive) along with selected patches chosen for the configuration of the computer. The single image is processed using delta image patching technology to allow the single image to be customized and operable (work on) the particular computer, where the single portable image is adapted to operate on a large number of diverse computer device platforms.

  • Publication number: 20070039903
    Abstract: A cap rack is designed for storing and/or displaying baseball style caps in either a horizontal or vertical orientation on a vertical surface. The cap rack is designed to have a cap support unit comprising a hemispherically-shaped cap support section continuous with a base attachment section. The cap support unit is secured to a single base unit or expandable base unit by insertion of base attachment hooks into base unit apertures. A plurality of cap racks having expandable base units can be interconnected in a vertical and/or horizontal orientation using a 4-way connector, a 90 degree connector, or a linear connector.

  • Publication number: 20050289533
    Abstract: A method and system for updating or recovering a computer device's software image using a single portable operating system image stored on a bootable, secure partition on local storage (hard drive); a method and system utilizing delta image patching technology to allow the single image to work on a large number of diverse computer device platforms; and a method for distributing software patches and updates via a, secure local partition to ensure patches and updates are applied to well known software images that have not been modified to include malicious software and do not include any other undesirable changes that have been made to the primary, running operating system image.
