Abstract: Systems and methods for providing and executing a data processing tool are disclosed. The data processing tool may include an attribute processing agent which may be embedded in a database system. The attribute processing agent can receive input data and a custom-made attribute as an input and process the input data in accordance with the custom-made attribute. In some embodiments, there may be multiple attribute processing agents distributed in multiple computing nodes. Each attribute processing agent may be configured to process a portion of a data set based on the storage location of the portion of the data set.

Abstract: Embodiments of the present invention provide an embedded mechanism for platform vulnerability assessment. In various embodiments, a management component of a managed platform may scan at least one host component of the managed platform for vulnerability of the at least one host component with respect to security policies of a management console of a network. The management component may address potential vulnerability of the at least one host component. Other embodiments may be described and claimed.

Abstract: Methods, apparatuses, articles, and systems for instantiating a control service to facilitate management of a remotely disposed platform supporting a plurality of redirection protocols of media devices of different types for redirecting the media devices, are described herein. In various embodiments, the control service is adapted to establish a control session with the remotely disposed platform and discover the supported redirection protocols of the media devices. In some embodiments, the control service is further adapted to control the remotely disposed platform based on the redirection protocols, to cause the remotely disposed platform to establish a data session with a media server, remotely disposed from the platform, having one or more of the media devices of different types, the data session including a number of redirection connections redirecting the media devices of the media server to the platform. Additionally, in one embodiment, the control service is adapted to manage the platform.

Abstract: A toothbrush apparatus comprises a toothbrush head having a bristle portion at its one end portion comprising bristles and at its other end portion a handle. Fluid supply means provides pressurized fluid to the bristle portion and has an inlet connectable to a source of fluid, for example a faucet, and an outlet formed in the bristle portion. Suction means having an inlet associated with the bristle portion evacuates waste from the oral cavity of a user for disposal. An ultrasonic transducer imparts ultrasonic vibrations to the bristle portion and power supply means supplies electrical power to the ultrasonic transducer.

Abstract: A method for platform independent management of devices using option ROMs. Under one embodiment of the method, manageability data is stored in an option ROM of a peripheral device of a computer platform. The manageability data includes a descriptor that provides an identity, data type, access method and potentially other data to discover, access, and control the device. An embedded instance of the Sensor/Effector Interface (SEI) subsystem is provided by a management engine (ME) implementation via execution of corresponding firmware by the ME. Via the use of an out-of-band communication channel facilitated by the ME or other means (e.g., LAN microcontroller), management data retrieved from option ROMs, and the SEI, a remote management server is enabled to remotely manage various devices and/or the computer platform.
