| 20100304030 | FLAME-RETARDANT FINISHING OF FIBER MATERIALS - A process for flame-retardant finishing of fiber materials, for example wovens, is described. A tetrakishydroxymethylphosphonium compound is applied to the fiber material. This is followed by a treatment first with ammonia and then with an oxidizing agent. The fiber material is also treated with an acidic aqueous solution in the course of the process. The fiber materials obtained have good flame-retardant properties and a low formaldehyde content. | 12-02-2010 |

| 20110066881 | RESILIENT SOFTWARE-CONTROLLED REDUNDANT ARRAY OF INDEPENDENT DISKS (RAID) - Method and computer program product for identifying a primary disk storage medium that is higher in a boot order than a secondary disk storage medium in a software RAID, and testing for a hardware failure of the primary disk storage medium during the BIOS power-on self test. The boot order of the disk storage mediums in the software RAID is automatically changed to position the secondary disk storage medium in the RAID higher in the boot order than the primary disk storage medium in response to detecting a hardware failure in the primary disk storage medium. The operating system is then booted from the disk storage medium that is highest in the boot order. A hardware failure may be detected by reading and verifying a predetermined portion of the boot partition of the disk storage medium. Optionally, the predetermined portion of the boot partition may be less than the entire primary disk storage medium, but is preferably sufficient to allow loading of software RAID drivers for the primary and secondary disk storage mediums. | 03-17-2011 |

| 20080209098 | STRUCTURE FOR PCI-E BASED POS TERMINAL - Exemplary embodiments describe a design structure embodied in a machine readable storage medium for designing, manufacturing, and/or testing a design for performing the functions of a PCI Express feature card remotely from a data processing system. The system is comprised of a circuit board connected to a PCI-E feature card. The PCI-E feature card is remotely located in comparison to the circuit board. Architecturally, the PCI-E feature card appears to the circuit board to be located at the circuit board. | 08-28-2008 |
| 20080244296 | COMPUTER SYSTEM FAULT DETECTION - A computer system is disclosed. The computer system includes a core processor, a power supply including a first output in power communication with the core processor, and a power switch in signal communication with the power supply for controlling a state of the first output. The computer system also includes a service processor in signal communication with the sub-system and power communication with a second output of the power supply and a back up power supply. In response to activation of the power switch and a fault of the second output, the service processor uses the back up power supply and a reduced power mode to detect the fault of the second output and generate a signal representative thereof to be displayed upon a light emitting diode display. | 10-02-2008 |
| 20090115849 | Controlling A Point Of Sale ('POS') Terminal Using Surveillance Video - Methods, apparatus, and products are disclosed for controlling a Point Of Sale (‘POS’) terminal using surveillance video that include: receiving, by a surveillance module, a digital surveillance video of a region adjacent to a POS terminal, the digital surveillance video captured by a digital surveillance camera; identifying, by the surveillance module in dependence upon the digital surveillance video, operator characteristics for an operator captured on the digital surveillance video in the region adjacent to a POS terminal; and administering, by the surveillance module, the POS terminal in dependence upon the operator characteristics. | 05-07-2009 |
| 20100002902 | Graphical Retail Item Identification With Point-Of-Sale Terminals - Graphical retail item identification including receiving, from a digital camera, an image of a retail item to be identified; decoding, by an image decoding module, the image into one or more image processing tasks; assigning, by a task assignment engine, the one or more image processing tasks to one or more of the POS terminals, the one or more POS terminals characterized as image processing terminals; executing the image processing tasks by the image processing terminals, including reporting results of the image processing tasks to an item identification engine; and identifying, by the item identification engine upon completion of the image processing tasks by the image processing terminals, the retail item. | 01-07-2010 |
| 20120166297 | POWERING A POINT OF SALE PRINTER AND COUPON PRINTER FROM A SHARED POWER SUPPLY - A point of sale (POS) system includes primary and auxiliary printers powered by a shared power supply. A POS terminal includes the shared power supply, a user interface, and a host including a printer driver for dynamically generating primary print commands. A printer connection card connected to the POS terminal includes a Universal Serial Bus (USB) hub in communication with the host and having at least one USB connector powered by the shared power supply. The primary printer is connected to the USB hub for receiving power and the primary print commands through the USB hub from the POS terminal. An auxiliary printer has a power-only connection to the printer connection card, receiving independently generated auxiliary print commands from a separate host computer. A controller includes control logic for selectively blocking the primary print commands to the primary printer in response to the signal drawn by the auxiliary printer exceeding a threshold. | 06-28-2012 |

| 20090270820 | SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR USE OF AGENT IN COMBINATION WITH SUBATMOSPHERIC PRESSURE TISSUE TREATMENT - A reduced pressure therapy system includes a foam pad having a plurality of passages to distribute a reduced pressure to a tissue. The foam pad includes exterior surfaces and interior surfaces along the plurality of passages. A silver coating uniformly covers the exterior surfaces of the foam pad and the interior surfaces along the passages. A drape is adapted to be positioned over the foam pad to maintain a sealable space over the wound, and a vacuum source is in fluid communication with the sealable space to deliver the reduced pressure to the sealable space. | 10-29-2009 |
