This paper discusses a fixture which is adapted to manipulate several locks and the opening and closing of a circuit carrier. Further, the fixture provides a place to securely and safely hold a circuit carrier during manufacturing.

The present method allows for automaticity with real-time morphology variation monitoring and automatic correlation coefficient threshold adjustment. Correlation coefficient threshold adjustment increases specificity for a particular patient and can improve methods for diagnosing and treating cardiac conditions. ...

The concepts of the present invention leading to the new function will help the user to use the default programmed playlist with just one press of a specified (for instance: PROGRAM) key.

In some wireless communications systems, multiple users are served together in a single packet. This is potentially problematic for systems employing antenna weighting schemes such as transmit adaptive arrays (TxAA) [1], since different users require different weights for optimum performance. In this paper, we...

A technique is disclosed to disable certain computer hardware based on who is using the system.

When ordering a computer, a customer will select specific components such as hard drives, CD-ROM drives, PCI devices (example: video cards, fiber channel adaptors, RAID controllers) as well as the desired RAID configurations. This customization of a system to a customer’s specific requirements is called CTO (Configure...

Achieving Paper Savings in Continuous Roll Printers

In todays BladeCenter, each blade describes itself through a blade stored EEPROM which contains Vitial Product Data (VPD). The Management Module (MM) reads this EEPROM and makes management decisions based upon the EEPROM data. During manufacturing time as well as customer use situations, it is possible for this...

This method detects the first VRM (in multiple VRM systems) failure. The continuing trend of increasing system power, where circuit and system densities go up, has the effect that many VRM's (Voltage Regulation Module) must be used instead of a single power supply.

One of the service features for the xSeries computers is the LightPath diagnostics. This feature allows a service technician to light a set of diagnostic LEDs, indicating the area of trouble when the system is un-powered. On systems where you cannot remove the covers when the machine is powered, a large storage...
