摘要： A portable computer including a chargeable battery and an AC line adapter controls the battery and adapter to emulate a full UPS-class device. A controller of the portable computer with the chargeable battery and the AC line adapter emulates the conventional operation of an uninterruptable power supply (UPS) and a serial cable connecting the UPS to the portable computer. The controller includes a software driver and Basic Input/Output System (BIOS) program code to emulate signals to and from the internal battery and the AC charger.

摘要： A telephonic customer support utility for providing diagnostic support of a customer computer including encoding an operational status of a customer's computer to produce audible tones on a speaker corresponding to the encoded status for transmission on a standard telephone line via a standard telephone of the encoded operational status to a remote support computer, the remote support computer having a receiver electrically connected to receive the tones transmitted on the telephone line. The received tones are decoded by a decoder of the remote support computer to determine the operational status of the customer's computer, which status is displayed on a display of the remote support computer for analysis by a customer support technicians.

摘要： A mouse computer input peripheral device includes a window area integrally constructed within the mouse and positioned at an area on the mouse upon which a user normally places a finger in operating the mouse. The mouse further includes an illuminating device and a light sensitive detection device for providing a user signature signal representative of the characteristics of the ridge and valley pattern of the fingerprint of a finger placed upon the window area. The signature signal is transmitted to the BIOS within the computer system in which the mouse is operating and compared with one or more stored patterns which have previously been authorized for access to the computer system. When the user's signature signal is compared with and matches one of the stored and approved signature signals, the system is enabled and the user is granted access.

摘要： A multiple processor type computing system and an associated method of manufacturing the same from first and second computer systems, each of which include a PCI bus and both a processor and LAN device coupled to the PCI bus, which are selected such that the processors of the computer systems are configured to execute software utilizing different operating systems. Each LAN device is installed on the PCI bus using a PCI interface and is comprised of a data register, a data FIFO and a LAN controller coupled together using internal circuitry. Also coupled to the internal circuitry is a serial I/O port used to connect the LAN device to a network. From these, a multiple processor computing system is manufactured by removing the serial I/O port from each of the LAN devices to expose the internal circuitry thereof. The internal circuitry of the LAN devices are then interconnected to couple the first and second processors in a single multiple processor computing system which is supportably mounted in a common computer chassis. The data register and data FIFO of the first LAN device holds selected address, data and control signals during transfers from the first processor to the second processor arranged by the LAN controller of the first LAN device while the data register and data FIFO of the second LAN device holds selected address, data and control signals during transfers from the second processor to the first processor arranged by the LAN controller of the second LAN device.

摘要： The present invention provides a rack mount mechanism that includes first and second recessed slides fixed in a stationary position and first and second mounting brackets slideably mounted on the first and second recessed slides, respectively. The first and second mounting brackets each have front and back ends extending, for example, perpendicularly inward from the base of the mounting brackets. A frame is included which is attachable to the computer enclosure and has front and back rails. Each rail has an edge extending, for example, perpendicularly outward from the base of the rail and each edge has a plurality of apertures. An angled bar-nut is coupled to each of the rails by threading the angled portion of each angled bar-nut through an aperture in the edge of the rail and including a screw and a cage nut to secure the angled portion of each angled bar-nut to the edge of each rail. The front and back ends of the first and second mounting brackets are positioned between and coupled to each angled bar-nut and the edge of the front and back rails, respectively.

摘要： A system for dissipating heat from a power supply enclosed within a housing having an air inlet and outlet. The system includes fans disposed in a plenum structure adapted to fit over the housing to thereby establish air communication between the fans and the housing inlet so that operation of the fans causes air to flow through the inlet, the power supply, and out through the outlet, thereby dissipating heat from the power supply. Each fan is operable independent of any other of the fans. The relationship between the fans may be serial, parallel, or a combination of serial and parallel. The fans are monitored to detect failure of any of the fans and, upon such detection, an alert is activated.

摘要： A configuration system including a processor having memory for storing operating parameters and configuration logic for retrieving the operating parameters and configuring a computer system to achieve a desired performance level. The configuration logic preferably includes programmable regulators, such as a voltage regulator and a clock synthesizer, for asserting an operating voltage and clock signal, respectively, to the processor. These operating signals are asserted at nominal levels at start up to allow the processor to operate at a reduced, yet adequate performance level. The stored operating parameters are asserted onto a processor data bus by the processor during start up and stored in corresponding data latches. The parameters are further provided to the programmable regulators, such as a voltage regulator, a clock synthesizer, for example, which convert the operating signals from the nominal levels to optimal levels corresponding to the retrieved parameters. The operating signals may further be dynamically reconfigured by storing new parameters in the data latches, if desired. Thus, the regulators may be dynamically reconfigured during operation to achieve operating criterion, such as slowing down the clock frequency during a low power mode.

摘要： Method and apparatus for transparently executing in a graphical operating system environment a battery gauge utility that provides accurate battery status information adaptable to different users' needs. In a preferred embodiment, a software battery gauge of the present invention utilizes the primary display of a PC on which it is executing to present information on the exact current charge status of each of one or more batteries of the PC without relying on the presence of a Microsoft/Intel Advanced Power Management driver and compatible BIOS and without continually impinging on the APM or XBIOS interfaces to derive such status information. The battery gauge interfaces with a user through a user interface comprising an animated graphical status indicator and a textual status indicator, which display battery status information continuously such that changes therein can be immediately and conveniently perceived by a user. In addition, the battery gauge comprises a conventional windows system menu, which can be accessed by using the mouse or pointing device, for controlling the appearance of the user interface.

摘要： Method and apparatus for quickly and easily securing a computer device, such as a floppy disk drive, to a device carrier. In a preferred embodiment, the carrier contains a plurality of dowels that align with pre-existing screw holes on the device. When the device is placed into the carrier, a first dowel attached to a bottom panel of the carrier is inserted into a first screw hole of the device. The device is thereby partially secured to the carrier. The device is further secured to the carrier when both the device and the carrier together are inserted into a computer bay. As the carrier enters the computer bay, a second dowel flexibly attached to a side panel of the carrier is inserted into a second screw hole of the device. Therefore, whenever the device and carrier are in the computer bay, the device is completely secured to the carrier.
