Abstract: A notebook auxiliary device includes a first rigid body, a second rigid body and a folding portion. The first rigid body is disposed on a top surface of a screen body of a notebook. The second rigid body is disposed on a bottom surface of a mainframe body of the notebook. A folding portion is disposed between the first rigid body and the second rigid body, and the folding portion is driven by the first rigid body such that the folding portion is bent under the mainframe body to produce a protrusion so as to form a preset support angle to support the mainframe body. Thus, one side of the notebook can lift to a preset support angle when the notebook is at open state, so as to increase the heat dissipation effect of the notebook and to reduce the fatigue which is introduced by prolonged use of notebook.

Abstract: For automatic problem diagnosis, a data collector module collects log data comprising code sets from a plurality of components in a data processing system. An analysis module translates the log data into at least one predefined symptom. Each symptom is associated with at least one code set of the log data. The analysis module selects from a knowledge base at least one problem that includes each symptom. The analysis module further calculates an influence factor for each problem, and ranks each problem from most likely to least likely based on the influence factor of the problem.

Abstract: Financial advisory methods and systems for creating a steady lifetime income stream within an investment plan is provided. According to one embodiment, a feasible, personalized pattern of periodic cash payouts from an investment plan is structured to achieve level annual income during a payout period when combined with other income sources. A mapping is maintained of fixed income investments from a limited universe of financial products available within the investment plan to corresponding constant maturity Treasury bond (CMT) weights. Based on the mapping, a payout program is designed that is expected to generate a stream of income sufficient to fund the cash payouts by determining an appropriate allocation of assets within the investment plan among the fixed income investments. A payout portfolio is formed within the investment plan including holdings in the fixed income investments in accordance with the determined appropriate allocation. The cash payouts are paid to the investor.
