Abstract: A computing device can include a processor; memory accessible to the processor; a lithium-ion battery; a power interface; magnet control circuitry operatively coupled to at least the power interface for receipt of electrical power; and a housing for the processor, the memory, the battery, the power interface and the magnet control circuitry, where the housing includes a first shell, a second shell, and an electropermanent magnet assembly that generates a magnetic force that couples the first shell to the second shell, where the electropermanent magnetic assembly is controllable via the magnet control circuitry to decrease the magnetic force to decouple the first shell from the second shell.

Abstract: Access to a system is permitted by first polling a low-power device/connection on a user device for a low-power multifactor authentication (MFA), and; refraining from polling a high-power device/connection on the user device for a high-power MFA. An indication is received from a user that the user would like to access the system. The low-power MFA is identified via the polling of the low-power device/connection, and the user is authenticated via the low-power MFA. After authenticating the user via the low-power MFA, the high-power device/connection is woken and polled for the high-power MFA. The high-power MFA is identified via the polling of the high-power device/connection, and the user is authenticated via the high-power MFA. Access to the system is permitted when the user has been authenticated using the low-power MFA and the high-power MFA.

Abstract: One embodiment provides a method, including: identifying, using an information handling device, an activity engaged in by a user; determining, using a processor, whether a biometric of the user during the activity is affected by a biometric-affecting aspect; and adjusting, responsive to determining that the biometric is affected by the biometric-affecting aspect, an estimated measurement for the biometric. Other aspects are described and claimed.

Abstract: One embodiment provides a method, including: monitoring, using an accelerometer integrated with an information handling device, gravitational acceleration experienced by the information handling device; identifying, based on the monitoring, a change in the gravitational acceleration from a first gravitational acceleration metric to a second gravitational acceleration metric; and adjusting, responsive to the identifying, a time-keeping standard referenced by the information handling device based on the second gravitational acceleration metric. Other aspects are described and claimed.

Abstract: A processor may determine at least one document formatting feature by analyzing raw data and select templates corresponding to the at least one document formatting feature. The processor may generate a dynamic document template including at least a portion of the raw data and based on the selected templates. The dynamic document template may include a plurality of template sections arranging the raw data into a prescribed document format. The processor may receive at least one user change to the dynamic document template and may regenerate the dynamic document template by regenerating only a subset of the template sections affected by the change while preserving at least one template section unaffected by the change. The processor may generate the formatted document by processing the dynamic document template into a static form having the at least one document formatting feature and including the at least the portion of the raw data.

Abstract: A solid state drive (SSD) with pseudo-single-level cell (pSLC) caching and a method of caching data in an SSD is disclosed. In one embodiment, the SSD includes a plurality of multibit NAND media devices arranged in one or more channels communicatively coupled to a memory controller. A first portion of the plurality of multibit NAND media devices is configured to operate as a pSLC cache and a second portion of the plurality of multibit NAND media devices is configured to operate as a multibit NAND media storage area. In one embodiment, the pSLC cache comprises a first area for a pSLC write cache and a second area for a pSLC read cache.

Abstract: The present invention discloses a illumination system for ophthalmic microscope and its operation method. Light beams generated by White LED, passes through the condenser and relay system to produce illumination on retina of the eye and boundary of the illumination is determined by the aperture stop. To enhance the visualization of red glow, a Single source beam then divided into two beams using divider system contains Beam splitter and mirror. Transmitted beams and reflected beams are made to focus on circular areas coated with reflective material of virtual beam splitter which is positioned coaxially with observation system of the microscope. Focused beam then passes through the objective lens of the microscopic system. Reflected beams from retina then passes through the objective lens and reaches the observation system via Virtual Beam Splitter.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method for computer signal processing data and command transfer over an interface and more particularly to a communication between peripheral firmware and a host processor or Basic Input/Output System (BIOS) on a Peripheral Component Interconnect (PCI) bus. In one embodiment, a device and method for reducing the load on the PCI Bus is described. In yet another embodiment, a device and method is described for constructing a variable length command block comprising message frames and aligning all message frames for a particular command block that are contiguous in memory.

Abstract: A mechanism is provided for migration between stripe storage and redundant parity striped storage. When a disk is added to a disk array, the mechanism migrates from RAID 0 to RAID 5. For each row, the mechanism calculates parity for the row and, if the parity position is not the new drive, the mechanism writes the data from the parity position to the new drive and writes the parity to the parity stripe position. If a drive fails, the mechanism migrates back from RAID 5 to RAID 0. For each row, if the parity position is not the failed drive, reads the data from remaining drives, XORs the data stripes to get failed drive data, and writes the failed drive data to the parity position. If a read or write is received for the failed drive, the mechanism simply redirects the read or write to the parity position.
