International Classification

G06F 13/14, G06F 15/16, G09G 5/37

U.S. Classification

345520, 345503, 345561

Abstract

A method for detecting an inappropriate video connection in an information handling system (“IHS”) that includes an integrated video controller, the integrated video controller operable to be coupled to a display device, is provided. The method includes determining if an add-in video controller is coupled to the IHS, the add-in video controller operable to be coupled to the display device. The method also includes determining whether the display device is coupled to the integrated video controller or the add-in video controller. The method further includes providing a notification that the display device is inappropriately coupled to the IHS if it was determined that both the add-in video controller is coupled to the IHS and the display device is coupled to the integrated video controller.

Assignee

International Business Machines Corporation (Armonk, NY)

International Classification

H04L 29/06

U.S. Classification

709226, 711162, 711167

Abstract

A host reserves a device controlled by a controller that is coupled to the host. The controller starts a first timer, in response to a completion of input/output (I/O) operations on the device by the host, wherein the host continues to reserve the device after the completion of the I/O operations. The controller sends a notification to the host after an expiry of the first timer, wherein the notification requests the host to determine whether the device should continue to be reserved by the host. The controller starts a second timer, in response to receiving an acknowledgement from the host that the notification has been received by the host, wherein reservation status of the device reserved by the host is determined by the controller on or prior to an expiry of the second timer.

Assignee

Mobil Tyco Solar Energy Corporation (Waltham, MA)

International Classification

C30B 3500, C30B 1534

U.S. Classification

422249

Abstract

A crystal growth guidance mechanism for use in crystal growing apparatus. The guidance mechanism, which is disposed between a crystal puller and a crystal forming die comprises a plurality of gravity damped guide rods mounted on ramped supports. The rods have sufficient mass and number so that when acting in unison the rods will provide sufficient resistance to prevent puller induced motion in the crystal from being translated down into the die top, while individual guide rods "float" on the surface of the growing crystal whereby each rod will move out of the way of any localized surface perturbations in the growing crystal.

International Classification

F16F 914

U.S. Classification

267 6415

Abstract

There is disclosed herein a suspension fork assembly particularly for use with bicycles. The assembly comprises an outer steer tube which is adapted to be mounted in and extend through the head tube of the bicycle frame, and an inner steer tube telescopes within the outer steer tube. A shock absorbing system is provided within the tubes. The inner surface of the outer steer tube and the outer surface of the inner steer tube each have a plurality of axially arranged opposing longitudinal flat sections, such as four on each tube. A plurality of needle bearings are disposed between the tubes on these flat sections. This arrangement, with the needle bearings arranged on the flat sections between the inner and outer tubes, allows the two tubes to freely telescope in and out with respect to one another without any significant static friction, and also serves to transmit the torsional steering force from the outer tube to the inner tube. The needle bearings thus bear radial loads as well as maintain the in line relationship of the outer and inner tubes for rotational forces while allowing the two tubes to freely telescope.
