Abstract: A system control processor manager uses composed information handling systems that utilize resource sets of information handling systems and an infrastructure manager. The infrastructure manager obtains a composition request for a composed information handling system; allocates a portion of resource sets to the composed information handling system using a telemetry data map; makes a determination that at least one of the portion of the allocated resource sets is hosted by an information handling system that does not include a physical system control processor; and in response to the determination: provides the information handling system with access to a system control processor without adding any physical system control processors to the information handling system; and directs access requests, by entities hosted by the information handling system and directed to the portion of the allocated resource sets, through the system control processor.

Abstract: A surface-mounted device for controlling the swing/rotational motion of a hinged door/panel system. Said device controls the velocity of the door/panel's and provides check point(s) in the pathway of its motion. The device includes a non-pivoting carrier component to be fixed upon a hinged door/panel, a non-pivoting receiver component fastened to the adjacent and separate area which shares a common hinge(s)/axis with the movable door/panel and a flexible control arm component firmly attached at one end to the carrier. The flexible control arm is aligned with the receiver's through-body aperture by means of the carrier's fixed position on a movable hinged door/panel and provides control of the door/panel by means of passing into and through the aperture provisioned in the receiver in a linear manner to provide both speed and positional check control (motion detents) of the door's potential swing arc path.

Abstract: An injection molding machine includes a nozzle with a nozzle body having inner and outer flow channels, and at least one intermediate flow channel in between. A valve stem is slideable in the inner flow channel and moveable between open and closed positions. In a first closed position, the valve stem blocks an outlet of the inner flow channel but not outlets of the outer or at least one intermediate flow channels. In the open position, melt exiting the at least one intermediate flow channel simultaneously intersect melt exiting the outer and inner flow channels. The flow channels may be arranged concentrically. The outlets of the flow channel may be separated by a knife edge. The outlets of the flow channels may be adjacent to one another. The inner and outer flow channels may be substantially perpendicular to one another, but not to the at least one intermediate flow channel.

Abstract: Embodiments include a serial bus controller that may be coupled to an in band serial peripheral interface (SPI) link, to request a write of data and a subsequent read of the data from a memory device and in response to the request to read the data, receive a bit error report and optionally correct the bit error over the in band SPI link. Embodiments include a memory device, e.g., a flash memory device, to detect and report the bit error over the in band SPI link, where the flash memory device, in response to a request to write and/or erase data, calculates or determines an error correction code (ECC) and stores corresponding parity data. In embodiments, after receiving a subsequent request to read the data, the flash memory device accesses the stored parity data to check the ECC for a bit error and if a bit error is detected, reports the detected bit error over the in band SPI link. Other embodiments may be described and claimed.

Abstract: Embodiments described herein enable independently recoverable security for processor and peripheral communication, enabling a processor without native non-volatile memory to generate and recover credentials in response to a firmware update. The processor and peripheral can each have credentials burned into secure fuses. The processor can derive a shared secret from the secure fuses using security attributes that are based on the security version number of firmware within the processor and the peripherals to which the processor is to security communicate. The processor and peripherals can generate ephemeral session keys from the shared secret and nonces. The ephemeral session keys can be used to secure communications between the processor and the peripherals.

Abstract: A computing device monitors support element strain to enable deployment of positionally-related components in conjunction with one another while the real-time positional relationship between these positionally-related components fluctuates during operation. An exemplary computing device includes a first component and a second component that are both mounted to a support element. The computing device may be subjected to mechanical loading during operation which may induce strain into the support element thereby affecting the nominal positioning between the positionally-related components. The computing device includes a displacement sensor to generate displacement data that is indicative of a real-time positional relationship between the components. This real-time positional relationship may be compensated while implementing desired functionality.
