Abstract: Method for and apparatus were fans and cable placed at the ends at the same end of a computer rack drawer. The cable ends are located between the fans and the computing elements. The bulk length of each cable passes through the region where the fans are located. Air, and optionally EMI, sealing are provided by an elastic material near the fans. In this way cables could exit the same tailstock of the drawer where fans are located. The cable ends can receive good cooling, and the distance between the cable ends and computing elements of the drawer is not lengthened by the fan position.

Abstract: An oval-shaped T-nut that is received within an oval receiver machined into the upholstered panel to be secured to a chair frame is provided. The oval shape of the T-nut prevents the oval-shaped T-nut from rotating when a screw is driven into the T-nut. Further, this eliminates the necessity of stapling the traditional plastic T-nut to the chair panel, thus saving time and money associated with the manufacture of an upholstered metal frame chair. In addition to the oval-shaped T-nut described herein, a novel U-shaped screw catch is also provided which cooperates with a barbed nylon or plastic push rivet to secure the upholstered chair panels to one another. Further, a method for connecting upholstered seat back panels to the tabs positioned on the back frame of a chair, utilizing the T-nut and the screw catch is disclosed.

Abstract: Private AppExchanges within an on-demand services environment in which multiple tenants have corresponding tenant identifiers (IDs) and the on-demand services environment is provided by an entity separate from the client entities. Access to a listing of apps is provided to a remote device based on a tenant ID associated with the user. The listing of apps for each tenant ID is controlled by an administrative entity associated with each respective tenant ID and. A download request is received from the remote device for a selected app from the listing. The remote device is allowed access only to the listing of apps having a tenant ID corresponding to the tenant ID for the remote device. Download access is granted to the remote device for a selected app in response to the download request. The code for the selected app is transmitted from a storage device to the remote device.

Abstract: In order to reduce the number of instructions that the compiler generates to load the address of a global variable into a register, the compiler uses a technique that analyzes the global variables used in each function in order to estimate which global variables will be located within the same memory page and having a common base address. A base global variable is selected for each function whose address is fully resolved. The address of each subsequent global variable is constructed using an offset relative to the address of the base global variable that is based on the subsequent global variable's position in a global variable order list.
