Appl. No.:

09/071128

Inventors:

Michael R. Garrett - Cypress TX
Randall L. Hess - Cypress TX
Chi W. So - Houston TX

Assignee:

Compaq Computer Corporation - Houston TX

International Classification:

G06F 1130

US Classification:

713202, 713200, 713201, 711116, 711103, 709225

Abstract:

A computer system provides a unified password prompt for accepting a user power-on password or an administrator password. A password string entered by the system administrator at the unified password prompt is compared with a stored power-on password. If the user password string matches the stored power-on password, then access to system resources is granted. If the user password string does not match the stored power-on password, then the user password string is compared to a stored administrator password. If the user password string matches the stored administrative password, then access to system resources is granted. If the user password string does not match the stored administrative password, then the system administrator is given a predetermined number of times to enter a password string matching either the stored power-on password or the stored administrator password. If a password string matching either the stored power-on password or the stored administrator password is not provided in the predetermined number of times, access to system resources is denied. The unified password prompt does not require a system administrator to know a users power-on password in order to access system resources.

International Classification:

E21B 3402

US Classification:

166 7751, 166368, 166 861

Abstract:

A christmas tree to control the production from a subsea oil or gas well is disclosed. The christmas tree design including a tree body having a first flow port and a tree cap; a tubing hanger landed within the tree body; an actuation mandrel landed within the tree body, the actuation mandrel having a flow port; and a flow diverter disposed within the tree cap to divert flow through the flow port. The christmas tree arrangement allows for dual barriers within the tree cap without placing or retrieving any plugs from within the tubing hanger, thereby reducing the number of downhole trips required to complete and/or service the subsea well.

International Classification:

G06F 15/177

G06F 9/44

US Classification:

713 2, 719321, 719327, 717170

Abstract:

The specification discloses a structure and related method for determining whether a particular BIOS routine is supported on a computer system, and if so, the service number for that BIOS routine. This determination is made by a software program accessing a table which correlates unique identification numbers for each BIOS routine with a BIOS call service number. The presence or absence of a unique identification number in the table is an indication to the calling program whether the BIOS implements the desired BIOS routine. If the unique identification number exists in the table, it thus identifies the service number for the particular BIOS routine.

International Classification:

G06F 9/46
G06F 15/16

US Classification:

718 1, 709203

Abstract:

A data processing system enables configuration of a virtual connect functioning in combination with a virtualization platform. The illustrative data processing system is used with a virtualization platform which is configured to run multiple operating systems simultaneously on one or more physical servers and a virtual connect device which is communicatively coupled to the virtualization platform. The virtual connect device virtualizes connections between the physical server or servers and a network infrastructure. The data processing system comprises a configuration manager that integrates migration and failover of virtual machines operating under the virtualization platform with migration and failover of physical servers operative under the virtual connect device for management of virtual and physical migration and failover using common commands.
