Automatic Determination Of Geometric Translation Parameters For A Disk Device
US Patent:
2005017, Aug 4, 2005
Filed:
Jan 30, 2004
Appl. No.:
10/769248
Inventors:
Scott Marcak - Cypress TX, US
Mark Piwonka - Tomball TX, US
Mark Piwonka - Tomball TX, US
International Classification:
G06F009/00
US Classification:
713001000
Abstract:
Software image portability may be achieved automatically: A host computer reads geometric parameters from a data structure in a boot record of a disk device containing a software image. The computer adopts those parameters as geometric translation parameters for use when accessing the software image. This may be done without the need for intervention by a computer user. In one implementation, the host computer reads the Master Boot Record from the disk device; finds a usable entry in the partition table of the Master Boot Record; reads a sector specified by the Starting LBA field in the usable partition table entry; assigns a number of sectors per track equal to the word found at offset 18h in the BIOS Parameter Block of the sector; and assigns a number of heads equal to the word found at offset 1Ah in the BIOS Parameter Block of the sector.
Method And System For Securing An Option Rom Configuration
US Patent:
2010001, Jan 21, 2010
Filed:
Jul 16, 2008
Appl. No.:
12/219083
Inventors:
Scotty M. Wiginton - Tomball TX, US
Scott B. Marcak - Cypress TX, US
Scott B. Marcak - Cypress TX, US
International Classification:
G06F 15/177
US Classification:
713 1
Abstract:
A method and system are disclosed to secure option read-only memory (ROM) configuration by calling a get user input function, determining if the user input is an option ROM configuration input sequence that allows a user to interact with an option ROM, performing one or more filtering checks on the user input, and conditionally returning the user input to the option ROM. The filtering checks are used to enforce security policies such as prompting for a password, blocking all option ROM configuration input sequence from reaching the option ROM, not allowing option ROM configuration in certain boot environments, and the like.
System And Method For Programming A Data Storage Device With A Password
US Patent:
2007001, Jan 18, 2007
Filed:
Jul 12, 2005
Appl. No.:
11/179227
Inventors:
Jason Spottswood - Houston TX, US
Mark Piwonka - Tomball TX, US
Patrick Gibbons - Magnolia TX, US
Scott Marcak - Cypress TX, US
Mark Piwonka - Tomball TX, US
Patrick Gibbons - Magnolia TX, US
Scott Marcak - Cypress TX, US
International Classification:
G06F 12/14
US Classification:
713193000
Abstract:
There is provided a system and method for programming a data storage device with a password. Specifically, there is provided a method comprising initiating a password programming routine for a data storage device, and programming the data storage device with the password associated with an external storage medium, wherein the data storage device is configured to condition access to the data stored on the data storage device based on the password.
Systems And Methods For Cooling Storage Devices
US Patent:
2005021, Sep 29, 2005
Filed:
Mar 29, 2004
Appl. No.:
10/812327
Inventors:
Paul Broyles - Cypress TX, US
Jeff Wolford - Spring TX, US
Gregory Ziarnik - Houston TX, US
Scott Marcak - Cypress TX, US
Jeff Wolford - Spring TX, US
Gregory Ziarnik - Houston TX, US
Scott Marcak - Cypress TX, US
International Classification:
G01K001/08
US Classification:
702132000
Abstract:
In one embodiment, a system and a method for cooling a storage device pertain to determining the temperature of the storage device and adjusting computer operation so as to reduce the temperature of the storage device if that temperature is deemed to be too high.
System And Method For Detecting And Reporting Resource Conflicts
US Patent:
2005016, Jul 21, 2005
Filed:
Jan 14, 2004
Appl. No.:
10/758185
Inventors:
Scott Marcak - Cypress TX, US
Don James - Houston TX, US
Don James - Houston TX, US
International Classification:
G06F011/00
US Classification:
714032000
Abstract:
A system and method of resource conflict detection and reporting during power on self test is provided. The method includes, for example, reading the state of a flag indicative of a user-selected compatibility mode requiring at least partial reallocation of resources. If the flag is in a first state and one or more devices will become inaccessible due to resource constraints, at least one message indicative of a resource conflict is generated.
