Filed:

Nov 28, 2001

Appl. No.:

09/995919

Inventors:

David Sullivan - Londonderry NH
Robert MacArthur - Leominster MA

Assignee:

EMC Corporation - Hopkinton MA

International Classification:

H02M 7517

US Classification:

363 49, 363 65, 323901

Abstract:

A technique involves providing a set of soft start power signals to operating circuitry mounted on a circuit board. In particular, the technique involves enabling (i) a first converter to provide a first soft start power signal to the operating circuitry and (ii) a second converter to provide a second soft start power signal to the operation circuitry. Additionally, the technique involves providing a first control signal that indicates whether the first converter properly provides the first soft start power signal, and providing a second control signal that indicates whether the second converter properly provides the second soft start power signal. Furthermore, the technique involves disabling the first converter if the second control signal indicates that the second converter improperly provides the second soft start power signal, and disabling the second converter if the first control signal indicates that the first converter improperly provides the first soft start power signal.

International Classification:

G06F015/16

US Classification:

709213, 709219, 709229, 707 10

Abstract:

A process and apparatus for storing, in non-volatile memory of a local computer system, a selected remote web page and all web pages in a preselected number of nodes below the selected web page. The stored web pages may be filtered to cause the local computer system to store only web pages that are not larger than a preselected size, or web pages that are stored on the same remote network device.

B07C 5344

US Classification:

209 33

Abstract:

A method and system for testing and sorting a production run of sheet-like batteries includes: testing each battery to obtain a first value of electrical energy; placing machine readable indicia on each battery corresponding to the first value; retesting each battery after passage of a period of time to obtain a second value of electrical energy; machine reading the indicia and computing the rate of decay of electrical energy for each battery as a function of the difference between said first and second values per unit time; and sorting the batteries in accordance with the computed rate of decay to separate those batteries having an acceptable rate of decay from those batteries having too great a rate of decay.

International Classification:

G06F 1730

US Classification:

707 10

Abstract:

A method and apparatus for enabling access of a document on a remote network device by a local computer includes an interceptor for intercepting a request (from a web browser on the local computer system) for accessing the document. The interceptor responsively ascertains whether the local computer is connected to a network and, if connected to the network, downloads the document into memory of the local computer system. If the local computer is not connected to the network, the method and apparatus locates the document in the local memory of the local computer. Once downloaded or located, whichever the case may be, the document may be utilized by the user, such as by displaying the document on a display device.
