Filed:

Jul 8, 2002

Appl. No.:

10/190908

Inventors:

Joseph S. Ng - Montebello CA, US
Ismael Rodriguez - El Segundo CA, US

Assignee:

The Boeing Company - Chicago IL

International Classification:

G06F 11/30
H04K 1/00
G06F 1/26

US Classification:

726 34, 713189, 380258, 726 35

Abstract:

One or more embodiments of the invention provide a method, apparatus, system, and article of manufacture for monitoring components of a digital cinema system. A configuration of an exhibitor system (that has one or more components) of a digital cinema system is stored. Each of the one or more components is then polled (e. g. , using radio frequency) based on the configuration. A determination is then made regarding the integrity of the exhibitor system based on the configuration and results of the polling. Further, a global positioning system (GPS) location and an identification (of a component) is received from an exhibitor system component. Based on the identification and the polling, a determination may be made regarding whether the identification is for an unauthorized component and consequently the location of the component for initiating enforcement action.

Abstract:

One or more embodiments of the invention provide a method, apparatus, system, and article of manufacture for monitoring components of a digital cinema system. A digital cinema system utilizes an exhibitor system (that has one or more components) to display media content. A configuration of the exhibitor system is stored in the exhibitor system. The integrity of the configuration is then determined by querying each of the components. Software agents on each of the components respond to the query. Based on the configuration and the responses received, the integrity of the exhibitor system is determined.

International Classification:

F16B 21/18
G08F 1/20

US Classification:

411353, 411352, 411999, 411107, 411396, 361726

Abstract:

A captive screw for use in electronic assemblies includes a screw with a shaft having a pair of spaced grooves and a cover captivating the screw and for attaching the captive screw. A knob for rotating the screw can be moved along the shaft between an extended position and a lowered position corresponding to the grooves on the shaft, and releasably locked to the shaft in either position. A lock wafer is used to secure the knob to the shaft. A release button with a large head actuates the lock wafer.

Assignee:

Compaq Computer Corporation - Houston TX

International Classification:

H05K 1304
H05K 330

US Classification:

29764

Abstract:

A hand operable tool is provided for removing a memory module printed circuit board from an underlying processor board without an appreciable risk of bending the pins of the pin-and-socket connectors used to removably secure the circuit board to the processor board. The tool comprises a generally inverted U-shaped outer frame structure having a pair of parallel, inturned bottom pressure plates secured to its lower ends. A shorter, generally inverted U-shaped inner frame structure is slidably retained within the outer frame structure and has a pair of parallel, inturned upper pressure plates secured to its lower ends. The inner frame structure is spring-biased to a lower limit position in which the upper pressure plates engage the bottom pressure plates, and a pair of elongated upper and lower handle members are connected to the frame structures. To remove the circuit board, the pressure plates are positioned beneath opposite underside edge portions of the board and the tool handles are vertically squeezed toward one another to vertically separate the upper pressure plates from the bottom pressure plates. This causes the bottom pressure plates to bear against the processor board, and the upper pressure plates to simultaneously bear against the underside edge portions of the circuit board and vertically lift them to remove the circuit board without bending its associated connector pins.
